Kaká

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Whaaat? Are you serious. He was the best Brazil player.

His only problem is his knee, which is quite big problem. He can be ok for few years or ...

So you think paying £40million for a player who will be "ok for a few years" is an acceptable investment? It'll be the worst transfer we've ever made, bare in mind it'll take something special to knock of Sheva from that award.

Would you guys rather pay 40ish mil for Kaka or 30ish mil for Neymar?

I mean the price doesnt look THAT bad when you consider it is roughly 10 or so mil more than getting an unproven 18 year old. I guess depends if you want to take a chance on the next possible superstar or take a bet that an older one can get healthy and regain form. I dont even know how I would answer that question.

Neymar's investment.

At least he's showing all the signs of getting to his peak, baring in mind his age of course. It may take him a while to get used to the move, because he's just a kid, but at least he'll have time to improve, adapt and all that. Kaka does not have time on his side, he's decline is evident for all to see. AC Milan were geniuses for selling him when they did. They enjoyed his peak, and made a profit off of his decline

I never said that we should buy him for £40million. But to say that he is finished and that he is not even worth £10million is ridiculous.

£10million would be a great deal

Shame Perez wouldn't see it like that

Only if they make some deals under the table. Maybe deal to build stadium in Russia.

Apparently Perez and Berlusconi did something like that.

Yes Neymar for 30 millions.

No Kaká for 40 millions.

Kaká is almost finished. Neymar can win the 2012 Olympic Games and the 2014 World Cup, can turn into a world superstar. You only can expect Kaká to stay in shadow of Ronaldo at Madrid.

I would pay 20 millions for Kaká. 40 millions is just stupid.

[Mário César 1,231]

Explain it to me. What are you based on to say that Kaka is finished when he's only 28? Because of an injury? Please...

That said, I wouldn't want us to pay even 10m for the Kaka I saw playing at South Africa.

I disagree. Playing in a club and on a national team are different things. Shrek, Ronaldo and Messi didn't shine at the WC and they still are among the best of the world.

True, but during the WC I had a chance to witness the decline everyone was talking about. He was as atrocious as Ronaldinho in Germany 2006 and we all know how his career went after that point..

And I probably have a different view of football money than the rest of you. I wouldn't pay 10m for a finished player based on his reputation just like (in hindsight) we shouldn't have wasted even 10m on Sheva.

[Mário César 1,231]

Telling that a 28 year-old player is finished is genious.

Ronaldinho's shape may had become lower after WC but each case is a case.

We should start flirting with random prospects, just so City makes a bid.
