kaka is world class, no doubt about it and i agree with that he is the prince of milan if not before the man city saga, he is probably loved even more now!
By the way peterswellman, the reason im going to assume people are picking xavi or gerrard over kaka is because kaka really is not a central midfielder. He plays second striker position for milan even though earlier in his career he was an attacking midfielder.
By the way, i agree, kaka as an individual is better than gerrard...but i do think gerrard is a top footballer too...though scholes when he was a little younger, besides keano showed him up more than a few times.
Just on a side note...kinda brings me back onto your topic about world class again...If the term is only used for players of the highest quality who are in top form, then last season kaka would NOT have been a world class player but we both know he is a world class player
Oh and by me saying i prefer kaka over gerrard is not me going against you or anything vavavooom because you're a kool dude and i aint someone who thinks i know it all or anything, i'm just givin' my opinion ;-)
My team!
-----------------Cassilas---------------
Maicon ----- Rio------ Vidic ------ Evra
-----------------Xavi-------------------
-------------------------Iniesta-------
-------------Kaka---------------------
----Messi--------------------------Ronaldo
-------------------Eto'o----------------
Explanation!...
Only reason i chose maicon ahead of alves OR ramos was because he is better at the defensive part of his game and has just as good a engine as the other two so in a team where there is not ball winner in midfield, the defense even in the fullback positions need to know how to defend!
I cannot believe NOBODY picked iniesta...one of the best creative midfielders in the world right now.
I think my team is pretty strong and would get loads of goals with ronaldo, messi and eto'o even though the two wingers roam alot and hardly track back. lol.
OH and i was temped to possibly put david villa in the team just behind eto'o instead of picking Kaka but i'm sure my mind will change every once in a while!
pz!
