U.E.F.A. TO CAP CLUB SPENDING.

The U.E.F.A president Mr Michel Platini has come strongly agaist clubs who are spending far to much and making ridiculous bids for footballers. He was mainly refering to Manchester City, with their failed bid for the Brazilian Kaka from A.C.Milan. The amount was 108 million euros , plus another 108 million euros for h iis salary plus a few million for the salary and agents fee..
We must bear in mind that the world faces a severe recession and to spend moneythis way is madness. Arsene Wenger the shrewd manager of Arsenal made it very clear that Manchester City are not living in the real world and real times this is ridiculous spending no matter how rich the club is.
Infact many clubs came forward to ask U.E.F.A to do something as all the clubs can not keep pace with a few lucky rich clubs.
In the long run a capping of salary and buying of players will help football in a long way. And Platini s decission must be suported.
