Kostas 1,468 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Zidane was the best player in the world when he got that transfer, Kaka hasn't looked like himself since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,282 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I know about that.On these last years, the market is very inflated. There are more and more players leaving for astronomic prices. Kaka is “only” 28 years old. He’s not the same from 2007 but he can shape up and shine again. I have no doubts about that. If it’s not on Real, it’s on another club. And knowing about his quality, I don’t doubt that Real wants to sell it for that value. It’s normal, they bought him for 60M €. And he can be very useful to Chelsea. By me, he’d come right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 To his defense all the players that have recently left the star-graveyard that R.Madrid has turned into were very successful at their next club.Van der Vaart looked equally finished and rumors about his attitude were increasing yet now some claim that he was PL's best transfer. Robben, Sneijder, v.Nistelrooy, Samuel or even our very own Makelele followed similar paths.That said, I wouldn't want us to pay even 10m for the Kaka I saw playing at South Africa.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjd06e 37 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 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.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Would you guys rather pay 40ish mil for Kaka or 30ish mil for Neymar?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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to say that he is finished and that he is not even worth £10million is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe deal to build stadium in Russia. Apparently Perez and Berlusconi did something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,282 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,282 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
