Breaking news...Benzema to Madrid for 35m euros!!!

Football Genius wrote:Kimbo, he quite clearly is worth the £55m+ because two clubs have offered that amount.

A player is only worth what somebody is willing to offer, and currently two clubs have offered £55m+ ergo, Kaka is a £55m+ footballer, whether you agree / like it or not.

People used to think £15m was insane money...

No.

There is just tons more money in football now then there was 15-20 years ago.

Nothing to do with inflation.

I agree there are better investment opportunities available for £55m+, such as land for example as a medium to long term investment.

However this is football, and then investment is looking to bring in instant reward, be it footballing.

Yes and they could do better for their money, for the money we're talking you could probably get Villa and Aguero, i rate the former higher than Kaka.


BUT i suppose Kaka is one of the more marketable players out there so that is probably a big factor.

Seems you do have a vendetta against him though.

Well he needs to step up then doesn't he.

I have no vendetta against him - he is a fantastic player, very dynamic but he can't be put at the same level as Kaka etc until he proves it at a big club.

It drives me nuts when people say he's better than Eto'o.

You rate David Villa higher than Kaka ?!?!?!?!

Kaka has been one of the Champions League's best players over the last 5 years - what the fuck has Villa ever done ?

If I was picking a world XI i'd have to go through more players to get to picking Villa than I would Kaka'.

Villa > Torres though
