    On his day, perhaps, but he hasn't had (m)any of those recently.

    Kaka was one of the best, far from it now, not even the 1st choice at his club.

    He should've moved from Milan, they are the ones who have caused his fitness problems from negligence.

    Milan knew it would happen, they have the best sport science academy in the world. They knew the toll they had took on his body through getting him to play unfit because he was the only touch of class they had.

    That's the reason they started asking for offers; no other reason.

    This season will be the first season he has a chance to get a full pre-season under his belt. If he gets through it successfully we will have the great player (not as much as he was I think) back on our hands.

    He has still being scoring, assisting whenever he plays but back to full fitness when he can trust his body he will be unstoppable again.

    I know people like to take the * out of Peaky95 in this thread because of his obsession and it's funny but he has a point; it's just his is rather exaggerated. If he gets back to at least 85% of his old self he is comfortably the third best player in the world.

    That's crap imo.

    Milan are well known for their fitness programs and prolonging players careers.

    See my last post. They knew what they were doing to him, they just couldn't afford to not play him.

    It worked out well for Milan in the end, got a few more good seasons out of him and sold him on for a large profit, they knew his body was breaking down.

    One word responses just make you look like a * whose childish obession with Kaka is manifesting itself through these boards. If you don't agree, explain why.

    If you'll read my post, and the post in which it was referring to, you'll see that I was not asking you to explain your point to me. I was saying that if you're looking to debate your point and are trying to convince others that Kaka is in fact world class, then answering people who have taken the time to write down their opinions (in at least one sentence) with one word responses is not the way to go about doing so.

    Secondly, I never called you a *. I said you were making yourself look like one, which I think is valid, given your one word answers.

    Good day to you:50:

    Didn't see that.

    Don't agree with it tbh. I really can't see Milan deliberately ruining such a great servant to the clubs career.

    Madrid no doubt have great sports science as well. They would have picked up on any possible future problems during the medical.

    such a verbose fellow i must say,

    if you would so like me to explain to you i shall

    i was only stating the fact that kaka is indeed first choice at Real Madrid as we all see at the end of the last season when he was being played in the first team ahead of player such as ozil :86:,

    good day to you to :50:

    I don't think he would be the third best player in the world mate. Xavi and Iniesta have improved greatly in the last three years.

    If I had thd choice of having Kaka at his best at Barca or Xavi at his best at Barca. I would chose Xavi everyday of the week. Same for Iniesta.

    I have a few mates who are big Milan fans and they all knew it, he was being gave injections, he was getting played half fit because at that point all Milan had was Kaka left. They were struggling without him and they needed the Champions League money due to their debt.

    They have got the best sports science centre in the world, they know how to prolong careers. It's one of the reasons they took on Ronaldo after Madrid, they were pretty sure they could prolonged his career, didn't work out that way but they know there players back to front.

    There's no chance they didn't know what they were doing and they knew he was breaking down, that's why they punted him at that point and not years before.

    Comfortably better than Iniesta when he was at his best, very comfortably and that's no slight on Iniesta. Just the way he played at his best at Milan he was unmatchable at that point. He was phenomenal.

    Xavi, well I don't want to argue with that one. I've never seen a player do quite what Xavi does to a game of football, he plays it like the wee guy with the sticks plays an orchestra. He is a master.

    Two completly different players but my heart rules Xavi over him rather than my head just because I have never seen such a master in midfield and I've seen others like Kaka before. His countrymate Rivaldo for one.
