Sorry - where are the idiots who wondered if Kaka was ever worth £60m and maybe they should get their collective heads out of their collective arses if they're not even going to bother watching the domestic league (and seemingly the Champions League) in which he was so devastating for years - more so than Cristiano Ronaldo whose price doesn't even get discussed by said people.
Yes his form at Real was dire but at the time he was signed, he was worth MORE than Real paid for him on the basis of what Manchester City offered just six months earlier. They'd inflated his value but not by £40-48m.
It seems some people are also oblivious to the fact that the Italian, Spanish and English leagues are all significantly different to one another meaning that in many cases, a player will not excel in all of them or even two of them. That gets tied into the first point I'm making. There was no guarantee Ronaldo would suit Real and Kaka wouldn't, it could have gone the other way around.
