Kaká

[bluephoenix 1,131]

Some media talking as if its a done deal.

Personally I think his best days are behind him, and I bet he gets injured staright away

I dont think we have signed him yet!

But dont see the point of getting Kaka when we want to reduce the average age of our team. He is injury prone. we should be looking for player in 24-27 age group

Maybe it was Tottenham

[Madmax 9,219]

I'm betting on West Ham.

I've been thinking about Kaka and I've come the the conclusion that he would actually be a decent signing if we bring him on loan. Why? I'll tell you, he could play 1 or 2 seasons while Piazon and Mceachran continue their development and are ready to brake into the first team and he could aid them in their development as footballers.

Besides this, we'd profit from shirt sales and get a few more people check our club a bit better if you know what I mean. With all this fuss about Torres, there have been many more people around noticing Chelsea, and you could see it here simply by the number of new people that joined.

So, as for a loan I'd be pretty satisfied, as for a transfer, anything over 20million is too much. I'd rather see Snejider, Ganso, Pastore or Hamsik in our team. They would perhaps be more expensive then Kaka but they would be much better signings. And let's not forget 2 most promising young midfielders we've got, Piazon and Mceachran.

Pros :

Still has the technical ability to cut it at this level

Should settle quickly considering the number of Brazilians here and the fact that he's worked with Carlo (if he's still with us in August)

Enables rotation

Helps the Chelsea brand image

Cons :

Transfer or loan, massive wages either way

No Premiership experience

Doesn't have the legs anymore

Susceptible to frequent and lengthy injuries (and with our medical record, this is a major disadvantage)

Heralds a return to the dreaded diamond/christmas tree

29 yo, not exactly a signing for the future (n/a if on loan)

No for me.

Cant believe the objection to a move for Kaka on here, its Kaka! Former world player of the year Kaka. I wont lie, Im biased here, he is one of my all time favourite players and Id absolutely love to see him play in a Chelsea jersey, I think he would be a fantastic addition to the squad, imagine a forward line with Torres up top flanked by Sturridge and a quick winger and Kaka behind them, fantasy football it would be.

Like I said in the other thread, it's like Deco.

We're signing another player who's past his prime. A world class player, who will have some moments of charisma & magic, but 90% of the time will be below-par and eventually just warm the bench making 10/15minute cameos ect ect.

Hope I'm wrong.

He was good against Sevilla.

Tbf Deco still knew how to make a really good pass, but he wasn't that driving force.

Kaka on loan? I'm interested.

Nah I dont agree with that mate, when we signed Deco he was well past it, he looked awful in his final year at Barcelona. Kaka on the other hand has really started to find his form the last couple of months, stunning performances against Valencia and Sevilla show that he still has a lot to give.

[Ollie 4,400]

Regardless how crap he might be or if he's past it....not even 30 years old yet btw

Wouldn't it just be great seeing another great in Chelsea blue.

Look at the names...

Hoddle

Gullit

Zola

Desailly

Weah

Ballack

Shevchenko

Torres

Kaka?

It's a clever move for the clubs image, especially in Brazil. Maybe an attempt to get Neymar too.

I'd love to see it, it might not work but i'd love to see him at the bridge. Also he won me £2090 in 2006

Dunno if anyone saw his goal against Valencia the other week (After we beat West Ham), was quality.

That's true. There was that impressive stat about assist too. The crucial element will be if he can settle in time, which means he must be present in pre-season.

Hope you're right, like I said though

Oh, and btw.. So much for the home-grown quota, lmao.

[Swoopz 183]

Get Kaka here on load to help Neymar develop? Sure, why not!

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Yay for the amazing handling with the whole 'home-grown' thing by Roman and pals!

Term X -

We should really think of signing some English/Great British youngsters to bring some kind of duality between our foreign players and the home grown.

Phil Jones!
