Kaka and the Backstreet Boys

MANCHESTER CITY’S Brazilian star striker Robinho has tried to embarrass his international teammate Kaka upon the former AC Milan attacker’s transfer to Spanish giants Real Madrid by making public knowledge the €67.2 million (RM319.6m)-rated player’s love for popular 1990’s boyband, the Backstreet Boys.

When asked about the musical preferences of the 27-year-old Kaka, Robinho, himself a former player of Real, is reported to have said to the press, “Kaka? Music? He will only listen to the Backstreet Boys!”

The Backstreet Boys, a boy band, are best known for their smash-hits such as: Quit Playing Games With My Heart, As Long As You Love Me and Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely.

Kaka could car-pool’ with Manchester United’s £80 million (RM465.4m) star Cristiano Ronaldo, should they both live in the same vicinity of Real’s Santiago Bernabeu home, as the Portugal international is also partial to the odd cheesy single and is said to have Phil Collins in his CD-rack.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s attacking teammate of five years, Wayne Rooney, is said to be friends with rap mogul P Diddy (formerly known as Puff Daddy) after the England international, together with his wife, Colleen McLoughlin, won a weekend with the Come With Me star during a fund-raising bash hosted by David Beckham.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Stuart Taylor has become the third signing of the summer for City from from Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee.

Taylor who followed the same path of midfielder Gareth Barry, and also traded Villa Park for the City of Manchester Stadium, and manager Mark Hughes were delighted to have sealed the deal. The other player signed is Roque Santa Cruz from Blackburn Rovers.

“We are delighted to be able to add a goalkeeper of Taylor’s undoubted calibre to the squad,” Hughes told the club’s website. “He is still a fairly young goalkeeper at 28 but he provides a wealth of experience and reliability.”

Taylor will provide cover and competition for firstchoice Shay Given, and will also pave the way for Joe Hart to leave the club on a loan deal in order to secure first-team football in the build-up to the World Cup in South Africa next year.

Hart is keen to play regular football so that he can play his way into contention for England boss Fabio Capello’s 2010 squad.
