Mourinho wants Jenas
Friday 16 January, 2009
Inter Coach Jose Mourinho has revealed that he wants to sign Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas.
The England international has been tipped to join the Nerazzurri by various Press sources, but it had seemed to be paper talk.
However, Sky Sports News reports that Mourinho expressed his interest in Jenas during an interview.
Inter aren't necessarily looking to strengthen their midfield, but the Special One may be keen to add some depth.
Jenas arrived at Spurs from Newcastle United in 2005 and has played over 100 games for the North London outfit.
He is under contract with his current club until 2013, but Tottenham may be persuaded to release him if Inter tabled a sizeable bid.

Mourinho wants Jenas? Why?
Whoever is running Man City must be a total retard when it comes to valuation of players. I don't see Kaka making them that much better. He is awesome but they are going to take a very good player in Elano and probably take him out of the starting 11 for a great player in Kaka. That will make a great attack even greater but their Midfield, Defence and goalie are still bad.
They should instead be playing Johnson and buy a holding mid such as Mascherano. They should get a top CB, A better goalie and a top CF.
I don't see them being much better this season. Maybe coming close to the top half of the table with Kaka if he goes. They could do well next season .. if they buy 5 or 6 more top players and get a new coach.

Usually a £107m transfer would have fans up in arms about mercenary players, but in Kaka’s case Susy Campanale pours scorn on the clubs
If Kaka signs for Manchester City, it will be a disaster for all concerned and for football as a whole. Not only will it make nouveau riche sides with bored rich owners think they can just come and buy up stars as if they were browsing the Louvre for something to hang in the hallway, but it would also cut 99 per cent of clubs out of the future transfer market. Paying anyone that sum of money is ludicrous, but City aren’t the real targets of my rage today. I am looking straight at Milan.
Kaka is not one of those players willing to throw a solid rapport away for the sake of cash. Regardless of how much City offered in wages, he would never demand a transfer for filthy lucre alone. He certainly wouldn’t go to Eastlands for the prestige of fighting against relegation and the hope of maybe in a few years qualifying for the Champions League. Even Ronaldinho turned them down! There is no reason on earth why Kaka would push for this transfer to go through. So why did Milan provide him with one?
In holding negotiations with Man City and letting him talk to the club, Milan have tacitly acknowledged they don’t really want him around. This, for someone who consistently rejected more tempting proposals from Real Madrid and Chelsea, must be heart-breaking. Ricky did not ask for any of this, but the Rossoneri have slapped him in the face, betraying all that talk of the side being “a family” the moment a new Brazilian walks through the door. Shame on you.
I understand many of you will point to the practicalities, the offer Milan cannot refuse, as with £107m they could rebuild an entirely new squad and begin a new era at San Siro with world class young talent. I heard similar statements at the time Andriy Shevchenko was sold for £30m and look how that turned out… Juventus could do it when they handed Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid and used the cash for Gigi Buffon, Pavel Nedved and Lilian Thuram, but the Diavolo executives have shown they will always nibble stale bread in order to splash out on champagne.
Of course, Kaka doesn’t have to accept this step down – way down – in his career, but the way Milan have gone about this means the end is nigh. If he remains, then he will be fully aware the club no longer wants him despite his proven talent, work rate and loyalty. So come the summer when Real Madrid and Chelsea come knocking again, this time he’ll do what these sides always wanted and push the move through, presumably at a far lower price than Manchester City are currently offering. And, frankly, Milan will deserve it.

That would be epic lol

http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/ - here are some good opinions about kaka and man city situation, i actually like fourfourtwo bloggers a lot more than channel4.
Kaka "crying" about City move
Kaka was spotted “in tears” at the Milanello training ground and could break down during tonight’s fan protests against Fiorentina.
According to several newspapers, including the Corriere dello Sport, the target of a £108m Manchester City bid was weeping as he left the locker room.
Tonight could well be his final match in a Rossoneri jersey and it may get emotional, as fans are planning a huge demonstration of love for the player at San Siro.
They hope to convince him – and the club – to turn down a record-shattering transfer fee of £108m plus another £108m in wages and £27m in fees.
The Corriere dello Sport also claims that City have accepted a clause in Kaka’s contract allowing him to walk away for £60m if any of the contract terms are breached.
Wages were boosted as recompense for not playing in the Champions League next season, so he would be earning around £16m per season.
Meanwhile, The Sun newspaper has dug up an old interview in which Kaka expresses less than flattering opinions about Manchester City.
“Arsenal and Manchester United are different from the other English teams. They play a bit more and are more open.
"They are different from the typical English teams who have a tall striker and hold on to the ball.
“That’s more typical of Liverpool and Chelsea, who are very tactical sides — more English. Man United and Arsenal are more agile. They let other teams play and they play, too.”
