As the year comes to an end, awards circulate. Everybody speculates as to who will win the Ballon d'Or. Some say Messi. Others say Xavi. A few say Ronaldo. However, the most shocking award involves none other than Ricardo Kaka.

Still sitting in third place behind the two Manchester sides, who are leading the table, Tottenham Hotspurs are feeling that they have a legitimate shot in competing for the title challenge but in order to make things easier they need something more.

According to the Lilywhites' manager, Harry Redknapp, it would be much better for his team if they can grab a big name signing this January, as that superstar can lift the team's performance into the same level as the two Manchester teams.

This is a 2011 list of top 20 highest paid soccer players in the world.

Any time a major signing doesn't score a bucket of goals, excuses twirl about like the trade winds of the Pacific. "The league is different," some say. "The player has a niggling injury," others cry.

Hate to break it to you but it's not a flying kiss from Kaka... he's smelling his soil-ridden fingers! / via Kakafans.net
