I think that playing Bojan at CF in Italy with Niang as the winger is a waste of time.
Given Balo up front though it would be equally wasteful to not play Niang at all

Mediaset once again mentions Beckham as a possibility. At least we're trying/doing something.

Adriano Galliani confirmed Milan are in talks with Real Madrid to take Kaka on loan, but “it will be very difficult. We’ll try...”

The news emerged this morning from Milan Channel and Galliani met with agents Gaetano and Dario Paolillo today at the club’s Via Turati HQ.

“I have no news to give you today...” the Rossoneri Vice-President told Sky Sport Italia cameras.

“It’s true, I was very, very pleased with Kaka’s words. There is contact with Real Madrid, but at the moment I haven’t got any news for you.

“Will it be possible to sign Kaka? It will be difficult, very difficult. How hard will I try? We’ll see...”

Mario Balotelli’s agent Mino Raiola was also spotted at the Milan offices today, but Galliani assured it was “a normal thing that agents come by to visit.”

Meanwhile, Mediaset claim that a deal is practically done with Real Madrid to take Kaka on loan with the Brazilian taking a pay cut.

Simple logic: it's better to play against Barça with Kaká than without him, regardless of the outcome.

The problem against Barca will be our defence and our midfield, forget about the attack. The guys up front will barely get a sniff of the ball.

he's cup tied, no?

I think it's irrelevant. Yes, it's better. But better to what purpose? Cosmetics and sentiment. In the end, we will be eliminated.

agreed

I don't think Kaka will be successful with us again ... Maybe he will be there to support SES and other develop or give more to off-pitch issues and educate the younger players on Milan's traditions blah blah ... But on the field, he wont be effective as we last remembered him with us.

I honestly am opposed to this move for the sole purpose that Kaka will just turn the Milanfans that used to love him, into those that despise him because he is 30/31/32 and going (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

I seriously don't understand what it is with you and age. Like when we sold Silva constantly going on about how people here will bash him when he's 34 etc, etc, etc. And that you're happy we're selling him now bla bla bla

What does age have to do with anything? If he can still give his contribution to the team instead of become a liability then no one will care if he's 16 or 40. Did anyone heap anything other than parise on Nesta for example? No because he was still performing at a top level and was crucial to this team. Rino for example though, someone who I was/am a huge fan of, did turn into a liability with age, simply because he was a player that solely relied on his physical attributes rather than brains.

Kaka when I've seen him for Real is still a very good player. No not anywhere near what he used to be for us, but that has been the case from day 1 at Real. Mainly because of constant injuries, and we'd already seen a very slight decline with us in his final season because his knees had already been giving him trouble. That being said, Kaka was never just a mindless speedster. He's not a Walcott type player. He still has great technical footballing abilities that more than make up for the loss of the amazing acceleration and speed he had in his younger years.

If we were all simply pre-occupied with the age of the players the we wouldn't be happy about being linked to Beckham, we'd just be happy about allthe young names we're being linked with. But that's not the case. We all want balance. Something our management seem too incompetent to achieve

Well with age comes experience, but you never appreciated that. Kaka will be your new Seedorf (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

Well, that is if we sign him at all.

I/We never appreciated it?

Experiance can only do so much when your body won't cooperate anymore and for some of our older players their bodies gave in yet we still persisted on using them as if they were still in their early 20s.

Kaka becoming the new Seedorf? Seedorf had a love/hate relationship with the MAJORITY of milan fans (not just people here) because he was mostly lazy and showed up when he decided to do so (and in his last 2 seasons or so he wasn't even able to do that).

Big problem with Ricky quite simply is he was pretty poor between 2007-2009 - and even worse when he went to Spain.

If we get back pre-2008 Kaka or even half of him it's a good move.

If we're getting what he is now, it's a complete and total waste and will be as bad as the return of Sheva.
