Rumour of the day: Brazil nuts?
The transfer to break all transfers is splashed across all the back pages this morning as Manchester City once again flex their monetary muscles. It's reported they have made a 100 million Euro bid (£91m) for Brazilian play-maker Kaka, a 26 year old who currently plays for AC Milan.
This would more than double the £48m that Real Madrid paid Juventus for Zinadine Zidane back in 2001.
It's also reported that he would be on wages of about £260,000 a week.
That's £37,143 a day.
He could earn nearly £14,000 if he sleeps a good 9 hours.
On Breakfast this morning we spoke to Gabrielle Marcotti, the European Football Correspondent for the Times and Shelagh asked him what he knew.
Shelagh also asked about another Brazilian - Inter Milan's Adriano - and a possible move to Spurs. This was in fact Vassos' rumour of the day. Will this happen? Vassos gives it 6 out of 10.

I am a City fan and wlecome the signing of Kaka (should it happen) he is world class and who wouldn't like having world class players sign for your team, I just feel the position of attacking midfield/deep forward is the LAST one we need improving as Robinho, Elano, Shaun Wright Phillips do this job and even Stephen Ireland has been having the season of his life playing in a similar way to Kaka we should have built the rest of the team ie defensive midfield, centre back, centre forward and keeper.......
still its a giggle especially after watching Middlesborough bang 8 (eight) past us a few months back.
