If Spurs can't manage Adebayor's wages I don't see how they'll reach Kaka's.
If Real puts Kaka on sale, should we be interested?
- Thread starter championo
- Start date
that has long been smudged into persie
Can't see any of the English clubs bidding for him. Chelsea and City don't need him and that's not factoring in the paucity of football he's played in the last three years.
Agree with that. It clearly wasn't working for him at Madrid, he should have left a few seasons back - when most likely, Chelsea would have taken a punt.
He did look sharp at times last season, though.
Yeah he did. He could and probably should have played more.
If they get Modric though, then most people seem to think they are moving to Mourinho's preferred 4-3-3 formation with Ozil on the right, instead of the current 4-2-3-1.
If that's the case, then they really don't need Kaka at all even though he did play well at times last year.
I think Kaka still has much quality in him but the risk is too high to take him on. If you're a club like PSG or City where money isn't an issue he wouldn't be a bad punt.
Kaka can still be a great player for somebody, but his time has passed now, and Ozil is a better player IMO.
He could certainly be amazing for somebody like arsenal though

Hard to see where he could go. Even if Real are prepared to completely write off the 65M they paid for him, his wages will be prohibitive, and would any top club want him?
It just shows how careful a player should be in his choices if he wants to make the most of a short career. Real Madrid are like a gigantic gyre at the heart of world football, sucking a succession of top players to their doom. Most recent victims - Robinho, Owen, Huntelaar, Sneijder, Kaka, Sahin, and perhaps even Beckham. A large number of smaller fry have been pulled under as well.

If i was Brendan Rodgers i'd be busting my bits to get Kaka to Liverpool. Could totally reinvent their brand of football
I hope the dippers buy him. He's passed it and would provide us with endless RAWK meltdown muppetry.
Someone will take a chance on him. A lot of the nouveau riche clubs sign 'name' players just to show the rest of the football world that they've 'arrived', not so much because the player is still brilliant.
PSG might be a good bet then. That seems to be the way they are headed.
Yep. Or Anzhi, perhaps.
That'd probably be the sort of signing they could really do with. However, their financial situation can't be very good after splashing out 100m on transfer fees alone in the last year and a half; and then of course subsequently failing to qualify for the CL for the second year in a row.
Very good post.
He'll go to one of those mega rich clubs like PSG, Anzhi, Malaga etc, unless he's really willing to take a massive wage drop which seems unlikely.
I don't particularly think he would be a good signing for Spurs either. Assuming that he would go to Spurs in a deal with Modric going the other way, he wouldn't be a direct replacement as he's not a centre mid. Spurs though wouldn't have the money to then go out and buy someone else like Moutinho for example who could be a replacement on top of that. If they want anyone in a deal with Real Madrid, then Sahin would be a much better and more sensible option for them.

Not sure Kaka would endear towards playing for a midtable premier league side, regardless of how much his reputation has fallen.
Liverpool would need to sell Carroll or a few dead wood players to finance that move.
If they write off the fee, there will be plenty of takers, a realistic fee of 20m or so if enough to pay those wages for 2 years.
I would hope for us to be in for him, honest. Love Kaka.
If it were kaka from a few years ago then I'd be hoping we were in for him, but despite him picking up his form last season I jut don't see the point. Big money for a player that has had fluctuating form, is only going to get worse and might not adapt. He's not exactly the quickest anymore and I thought that was one thing we were looking for in our attacks. unless he was going at a real bargain rate then personally I would rather we develop kagawa into the am role. I don't think we would buy someone of kaka's stature and price and rotate him. Looking in the short term is fine sometimes but I think it would be better for us to focus on building a Rooney kagawa/welbeck partnership than trying this.E
Jesus Christ! He is 30, injury prone, way beyond his prime, huge wages and not to mention the transfer fees and did I mention he was old? We are looking for young talent to take the club forward. And we just signed one of the most talented AM to play in his position.
Love knows not reason.
-anon.
-anon.
That's just not correct.
Robinho is his own worst enemy. He played the lion share of the games whilst there. Sahin and Kaka began their careers their injured and you don't throw out players who are performing to suit them. Sahin isn't finished there either.
Sneijder and Huntelaar both came from Holland. The success story of Dutch player going to a bigger league in the last 10 years isn't all that great.
Beckham was good. Owen was Owen.
You can make a case like this for any team. Difference is that Real usually by above average players and some of them simply don't make it. It's more often them not being being better than what they are competing with rather than their instability with managers thought that factors in as well.
Problem is, PSG have already got Pastore.
Best move for him will be to return to AC Milan imo.

I've always appreciated him but I'm not sure just how much of his true ability he's retained. Kaka will always be class on his day but that hasn't been happening often enough for some time. We've got to target younger midfielders with much better injury records instead.
He would provide glimpses of quality for other big European teams but not for us i'm afraid.

Mourinho's apparently told him that he's not part of the main rotation - just a sub - and that he should be looking for a club. The press reckon he'll be cheap to a non European club, but still 20m+ for a European one.
He's not travelling with the first team today for their friendly with Oviedo, nor is Carvalho (who's still on gardening leave considering his options) and Sahin apparently has a stomach bug. Just for completeness I'll also say the Euros players aren't back yet.

Nor should any self-respecting Liverpool fan with an eye towards future success be interested in a player who is clearly on the wrong side of his career.
Does such a thing exist?
They do. Although they probably never post on RAWK.
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has revealed that playmaker Kaka can leave the club, but only at the right price.
The Brazil playmaker has been strongly linked with a move back to his old club AC Milan after falling down the pecking order under Mourinho.
Madrid are seemingly keen to sign Croatia international Luka Modric from Tottenham before the close of the summer transfer window, and Kaka is deemed surplus to requirements.
And now Mourinho has disclosed that he is open to the idea of selling the 30-year-old is a suitable offer arrives.
"If Kaka stays I would be happy and I am happy if he wants to go. In football it is normal that the players play where they want," the Portuguese told AS.
"He is a very good footballer and prepared to be at his maximum level. If he decides to stay, then perfect.
"If he goes, that's perfect too but we are not going to give him away for free. Those that want him have to pay for him."

If Arsenal act the cnut then we should sign this fella, Kaka. Sign him up.
you think RM is going to let him go for 15 million and he is on monster net wages with them.
feck good point, to the Neymar thread!
Apparently Milan's first offer, a couple of weeks back was to take him on loan and pay half his wages. 
The wages are of course the killer in any deal. He's on around 10m Euros after tax.

At the right price, if we could get him any where close to his best you have a world beater. But the price would be key, because it is a gamble.
Came in against Milan last night and got 3 assists.
Wouldn't waste time in that thread , he's priceless.
They will let him go for £15m. Mourinho didn't say they'd need a high bid, just that they won't let him go for free/very cheap as it's been suggested.
Inconsiderate bastard. Should have pulled out of the squad.
