The root of the problem is that Kaka never wanted to move there in the first place. He was happy at Milan and agreed to the transfer only after Milan themselves told him they needed the money. I'm not sure how this is all going to resolve itself, but I doubt it will as long as he remains a Real player.
More news from Italy - Juventus are said to have expressed an interest in signing Jenas from Tottenham. Can this be true?

Exclusive: Wolfsburg line up shock £9m deal for Liverpool midfielder

Liverpool are ready to sell flying Dutchman Ryan Babel to Steve McClaren’s German giants Wolfsburg in a shock £9 million deal.
Babel is wanted by McClaren’s wealthy club for their Europa League campaign and talks between the clubs were at an advanced stage last night.
Boss Roy Hodgson has overlooked Babel so far as he plans for the season and it is up to the former Ajax player to accept the move as Wolfsburg will pay the fee.
The Babel sale would be a surprise windfall for Liverpool who have been trying to move out unwanted fringe men all summer without too much success.
Hodgson thinks he can do without Babel, whose erratic style has failed to impress since Rafa Benitez bought him a couple of years ago. The money would help with the club’s finances while they sort out their potential takeover.
Babel was also wanted by Birmingham City but Wolfsburg are the clear leaders in the race and willing to spend the money they anticipate from their European campaign.

It would probably help Ryan that Stevie speaks fluent Dutch

*applauds*
This would obviously be fantastic... sell Babel and buy Toivonen, sell Insua and bring in a left back, and keep Mascherano for another season.

It would be (I think) I don't know much about Toivonen, but he looks big powerful with good feet, and seems to be gaining a reputation.

Van der Vart - again.
As Jose Mourinho relaxes this evening, quietly celebrating Real Madrid’s capture of Mesut Özil from Werder Bremen for a seemingly great piece of business at 15m Euros, Rafael Van Der Vaart may not be having such thoughts of joy.
The Dutch playmaker is presented with yet another challenge at the Bernabeu, which could finally be one bridge too many for Van Der Vaart to cross. With both Kaka and now Özil ahead of him in Jose Mourinho’s plans for the new season, the player has to be wondering when he is going to get games if he remains in the famous white shirt of Madrid.
No sooner was the season coming to an end when Liverpool and Christian Purslow were credited with approaching Real Madrid as to the players availability, albeit without the input of Rafael Benitez, which proved to be a further sign that the manager was going to have no input on the new season and be heading out of the club. Van Der Vaart has reiterated on a number of occassions his preference was to fulfil the contract that he signed but now the second thoughts might be starting to creep in.
The Dutchman has 3 years remaining on his present deal and that is a long time to wait in the shadows or hope for an injury to occur, when you know you are not one of the preferred ones in a squad. With just a fortnight remaining in the present transfer window, there are far worse choices to make, than for Christian Purslow to pick up the phone and have that conversation again.
Liverpool are believed to retain interest in securing the services of a further striker, attacking player or winger and a left back. The names of Liverpool’s player preferences continue to change on seemingly a daily basis, often the same names making a reappearance on the list from time to time. Van Der Vaart prefers to operate centrally as a typical playmaker but can also be deployed close to a leading striker or on the flanks, as Liverpool look for more depth across the squad, hes a player that ticks a lot of the boxes of requirement.
Milan want him on loan.

I don't see where Van der Vaart gets games for us unless we got him at a snip and sold Aquilani for a considerable sum. Would rather see a proper winger brought in for the left.

Interesting that Insua hasn't been issued a squad number. I'm liking that!
[/quote]
Not really, just means we probably arent playing him (for now) even if we cant sell him.
If he's not sold I'm sure he'll figure in matches this season.

Hmm, Crouch didn't feature at all for Spurs last night in the CL quals. Maybe Elisha Scott was right, and that his transfer is sorted.

Crouch to....us?

Yeah, Elisha Scott over on YNWA said a week ago that this deal was sorted.

Liverpool have agreed a deal to take 14-year-old Oldham starlet Iaia Embarlo to Anfield for a sum of £25,000.
The Portuguese striker, who attended the Latics' centre of excellence, has moved for that initial fee with further add-ons included in the deal.
Embarlo is the latest youngster to leave Boundary Park for the the Barclays Premier League, following Tom Eaves' move to Bolton earlier this month.

What do you think he's hinting at Frogfish?
If I may interject, I think the subtext which Froggy's referring to (probably rightly IMHO) runs something like so: "Oi, powers that be, I may have confirmed I'm staying but I haven't changed my view on the need to strengthen the squad".
Two in a row once your in 20's probably means that's it.
"You're" rather 🙁
