    I think that even at 32, Kaká could still be a good player. Given the timeframe he's looking at and the possibility of a second NYC2, it could prove to be more fulfilling for the move to wait.

    Agree. Even if he gets here by the time he's 34, its still worth a look. His burst of acceleration was a large part of his success during the AC era, but anyone with technique of that level can adapt to a more immobile though more creative role. Hes still a game manager, and still a massive name for anyone thats followed soccer since the mid 2000s. Cant go wrong.

    From a marketing perspective, though, I think he's not the ideal, as I think he managed to miss the real explosion in European soccer exposure in the US. (Mostly by playing his peak years in Italy, which is a much less exposed league here, and then not playing so much or so memorably for Real.) I know it's just his agent negotiating through the press, but I personally find the concept of Kaka making twice what Henry does hysterical from a marketing perspective.

    You should mention which Higuain before people get excited.
