Noel Gallagher talks football

NOEL GALLAGHER has raved about his football team's bid for the world's most expensive footballer.

The Oasis guitarist said the band, who are big Manchester City fans, had spoken of nothing else but the club's £100million bid for AC Milan's Kaka.

Writing on his blog before their gig in Berlin last night, he said: "The daily chat's been dominated by the story of that Kaka's proposed move to the almighty Man City."

Praising the club's United Arab Emirates owners, he added: "Looks like the Sheiks are starting to put their money where their mouths are."

He then jokingly asked them to change the team's strip as "no one likes the current one".

Referring to the record-breaking bid for the 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder, he said: "So it looks like Robinho really was just the start! Colossal amounts of money are being talked about. Obscene, some have said.
"Alex Ferguson's face was a picture in his press conference yesterday though. That in itself was worth £100m. He looked shellshocked."

But he hit out at critics who said the deal is not in the spirit of the Premiership side, currently 11th in the table.

He wrote: "F*** morals. F*** Arsene Wenger and his socialist football nonsense. F*** all that bollocks about the club losing its identity. What identity? The fact that we've been skint for 30 years?"
