| Cook blasts Milan behaviour |

Manchester City chief executive Garry Cook has accused Milan of “losing their bottle” and “thinking only of money” during negotiations for Kaka.
The Rossoneri seemed to have accepted Kaka's exit for £107m, but the Diavolo idol rejected the switch.
The 11th-hour drama seems to have left a bitter taste in the mouths of the City representatives who spent hours in meetings trying to secure Kaka's services.
“We were ultimately disappointed,” Cook told Sky Sports News this morning.
“We travelled out there yesterday with good intentions, but they bottled it.
“We entered into a confidentiality agreement several weeks ago because we wanted to go through the process in a professional manner - they didn't want that and were only thinking of money.
“We never spoke to the player. We never had our questions answered. The offer was made to the club, who wanted to sell Kaka, then their story changed.
“Their footballer was for sale, we engaged with the club in order to buy him, but their landscape changed,” he concluded.
