Kaka. He just seems like a decent guy and he's certainly lived up to that by turning down the offer. About time a footballer showed a little loyalty. If Ronaldo lost the arrogance and stopped talking to the media about Madrid a hell of a lot more people would respect the guy. You don't need to be cocky just because you are good. Messi isn't and Kaka certainly isn't and thats the two other top players in the world. He has bags of talent, yet he lacks the personality to go with it.
Fans love loyalty.
Man Utd supporter here by the way.
Still doesn't explain why he choose to go to Japan over all of the European leagues.
Really, what fans are they then?
In all seriously whilst he was not a flop, he no way had the talent to be in our starting 11.
The ones I go to matches with.
He was not good enough for our first XI, no, but I never said he was. He is however a better player than many we still have around.
What annoys me is when people say Smith was/is a bad player, he's not. He can tackle, pass and work a backline as hard as anyone, Newcastle used him wrong and he couldn't play his preferred position at United due to superior players (Nistelrooy and Rooney).
All you had to do was look at some of his performances for us and people could see he was a very good player. I'm glad we had him, but at the same point, it was the worst move for his career.
Smith became more versatile, Rio has become the best defender in the World and Eric improved massively.

Yeah just so you know, Berlusconi has personal assets of $9.4 billion, so Milan can buy who they want, when they want.
City Waving 100 million under his nose is not going to impress him, or any of his players.
I doubt its anywhere near that anymore - considering the financial markets (but your theory still probably holds that £100m is insignificant )
It doesn't matter if he's not willing to spend money on the team though does it. All the noise coming from Milan is the team is in need of finances to spend on the squad, which is long overdue.
Drogba, Scolari or Adriano? Which ones the muppet/s?
And have got Quincy on Trial
He wasn't good enough to stay at Brum, are Spurs readying themselves for the Championship
Wenger wanted to time to experiment with coaching and tactics away from the constant pressures of the big European leagues. It obviously turned out to be a very smart move.
One thing to remember is that with the strength of the Euro against the Pound, for European clubs at the moment there's probably a lot of value in our transfer market, whereas for British clubs looking to buy players in the Eurozone it's now a whole lot more expensive.
