Does this make a business sense??? shelling out such money for one player?? I definitely don't believe so and here are my reasons:
- Football(soccer) is a team game and no one player dominates the opposite team. I agree that he can inspire his teammates to raise their game to a certain extent. We have seen what Roy Keane was for Manchester United (a great captain who brought out 150% from his team).
Kaka is a fantastic midfielder, versatile, comfortable with both his feet, good passer-plamaker, chips in with the goals consistently, big-game player, no nonsense guy...etc... But if strikers like Benjani, Darius Vassel cannot take advantage of Kaka's vision, what is the point? - What about the ROI?
Mancity is not a HUGE club and does not have a fan following like ManUtd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid or Barcelona. So, they sure will not be able to get sufficient returns from club mercandise. Remember what happened when Beckham moved to Madrid? Real Madrid claimed a return on their investment in their first season itself after their pre-season tours to Asia, where Beckham is hugely popular and has a tremedous fan following. Now thats a business decision! Although Kaka is popular, he is unlike beckham in a global scene. - He is 26 and is at the peak of his career. He has around 4-5 seasons left in him to be realistic. 243m for 5 seasons?? Is it worth it? And in a game like football, players are bound to get injured. What happens then?
I think Mancity can use this money in buying a quality GK, one defender, two midfielders and two strikers. Someone like Riquelme, david villa, Juninho, benzema etc. Now wouldn't this make a better business sense?
