KAKA is the Bergkamp type of stirker with lightening pace, and better finishing. He can also play on either wing lkike Frolan. He would be the buy of the season if we got him imo.Thus sayeth the chief 
Hey fellows, try asking a Brazilian and you may have more accuracy with your answers.
Like this:
His name is just Ricardo Izecson Santos Leite, "Kaka" is an infantile abreviation for Ricardo;
He's an offensive midfilder. NOT a foward, NOT a striker, NOT a wing. He's used to play with two fowards in front of him. Like last year with França and
Reinaldo and this year, 22nd row of the Brazilian league, with Luís Fabiano (15 goals), Reinaldo (11 goals) and Kaka (7 goals). Early this year he played some games as a second foward. It was his worst matches this season;
Last year he was considered the best rokkie of the Brazilian Championship AND the best player. This semester he's again the best player and here he is being rated as the best Brazilian player everywhere in the World. Not just that, he has charisma. And although he has a huge marketing appeal and is treated by the media and teenagers like a pop star, unlike 99% of brazilian new players he's not much a party guy. He's a very centered hard worker guy;
I was at Morumbi (São Paulo Stadium) when he played his first 10 minutes. He impressed everyone from the very first moment. I believe he would be an instant hit for ANY club in the world (as a midfilder);
São Paulo F.C., same club from Raí, Careca, Muller, Juninho, Serginho, Cafu, Edmilson, Leonardo, Zago, Denilson (among others) will not let him go for less then 20.000.000 US$. He's worth every cent;
Kaka means in portuguease the same as in french. In his first games everyone here joked about that. Today Kaka is synonymous of offensive creativity and magic wich will make history for Brazilian football.

How good is this guy's finishing?

Thank ancient Rome.
They havent payed us nothing so the price remain 12m. Last year they offered us Sorin and Lopez but we refused. Curently Castroman is chepaer than Lopez sooooo 1+1 = 2
Kaka is Brazillian with skilss hence he should be able to fit anywhere upfront and on the wings. And even though settling time might be long a boy with his skills could never make me pissed
for anyone wanting to know what kaka it's the latin word for shit. so butt and shit would go quite nicely.
anyway,first and formeost does this guy need a work permit?

First and foremost you have to find out if this is really the guy Man Utd need. He'll not play as foward or striker.
Manchester can't be as stupid as Arsenal who went to Brazil to buy Edu, the offensive midfilder from Brazilian Olympic Team (playing for São Paulo) and came back to England with Edu, the young deffensive midfilder from Corinthians.

Edu's a pretty decent player imo.
Kaka played well tonight in a 5-3 victory for Sao Paulo. The american commentator said Man Utd were at the game to watch him, however credible that is.
He created a lot for the team, but didn't manage to score himself. He played a free role supporting the two forwards. Physically he is a similar shape to RVN, a touch less bulk with a little more pace, powerful enough for the prem. A good dribbler, and likes to take players on. His creativity/support play is his big strength, instant passes and flicks. I'd see him as a secondary forward/midfielder to support RVN, rather than an out and out goal getter.
BTW Sao Paolo are leading the league, not sure how they would like selling a key player at this point in their campaign.

I watched some of the game too. Allen Hopkins was the commentator I think, he probably gets his info from soccernet though. What about the striker for Sao Paulo, name escapes me, but he got a hat-trick tonite and has a total of 18 goals this season, the comps top scorer. He seems pretty decent - pacy, strong. I'm pretty sure these players from Brazil would have a bit of difficulty obtaining a work permit, I know Kaka only has a couple of caps for Brazil. Kaka made a few runs in todays game, not too much more, though I havent seen nearly enough of him to comment. Seemed to play more in midfield though - perhaps he's the answer to kemo's 'hole' problem.
You aare probably right. My theory as the chief is If you can play behind two forwards you would do even better behind one. Thus the chief hath spoken
saw the same match - he's the deal. has speed , a quality shot , passes well. 20 yrs old. he arrive at OT when he's 33 - 34 yrs old. MU will never pull the trigger!
never saw timm play. this guy's an international already playing for brazil. he'd be getting games right now as we speak for MU and timm is still a resv player. when do you see his call up?
thanks m8 - totally unrelated to the subject albeit football and a young player - how long b4 stewart comes back and what type of injury is he carrying?
thanks anyway. if you don't know no one on this board will!
thanks N. i'll be watchin' live from the US tommorrow but looking forward to your "live tracker". your use of english is far better than the MU tracker. they don't swear as well!

<img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> Haven't done the match commentary for a while, and had to rely on MatchTracker while on holiday myself - they do a pretty good job actually - I doubt I'll post as much as usual as the game should be riveting! But I'll try and offer some observations that MatchTracker might not make, as well as singing some uncensored songs.
SPFC, welcome to the Cafe! Are you a United fan? With a Brazilian team as your second team? Which one if so?

kemo, this must stand amongst your most ridiculous statements. <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />
Why dont we sign this little number from Sao Paulo instead?
kaka is a gun just the type of player we need but i think we should try to target ronaldinho again
Kaka should go to United only to play in his natural position, as an Offensive Midfilder with two fowards in front of him.
If so, I'm pretty sure he would change the team's pace and make History for Manchester.
