Gunners boss discusses implications of possible Kaka move
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger feels Manchester City's reportedly extravagant move for AC Milan's Kaka would implicate a 'disturbance' on the transfer market.
Talk of City's approach for the Brazilian star has dominated the headlines since it emerged that a club delegation met with Milan on Tuesday regarding their interest.
It has been speculated that the Abu Dhabi-owned club could pay in the region of £100million for the playmaker, who will reportedly be offered a staggering £500,000 a week.
Wenger, who is known for his shrewd style in the transfer market, admits that City, just like Chelsea in the past, now operate outside the normal parameters.
"It does not look real to me at all. It is like an abstraction," said Wenger.
"It does not look in connection with today's world because on one side we have the economic situation which is quite worrying and for me this is abstraction.
The real world
"We live in a football club who lives in the real world. That means we spend the money we make from our income.
"The implications would be disturbance on the market, an inflationary trend in a deflationary world.
"We are in a world where we live from three kinds of income - gate receipts, the sponsors and the television money. That is the real world of football.
"The rest is exceptional and is not the rule of our world. It is a special income with unlimited resources, but it is not the real world.
"Whether it is us, Sunderland or Coventry we live with the same rules. Manchester City are in a different world because they do not live with their income."
