No carping about Kaka coup (0)

Manchester City - at least according to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger - are not living in the real world by pursuing a £107m deal for AC Milan's Brazil superstar Kaka.
He has a point. The real world for Manchester City comes when they continue what may yet become a fight against relegation from the Premier League against Wigan Athletic at Eastlands on Saturday.
And that real world pits them up against a club that has become, under manager Steve Bruce and chairman Dave Whelan, a by-word for the sound and sensible financial management City have been accused of casting aside in their pursuit of Kaka.
Wigan, with careful spending and calculated sales such as that of Leighton Baines to Everton and Wilson Palacios to Spurs, have the stabililty and healthy league position City do not look like achieving any time soon.
But should City be the target for such criticism and churlishness for chasing a dream?
