Can he make the top/GOAT tier?
He would've if he'd maintained that level for another 3 / 4 seasons.Can he make the top/GOAT tier?
To be fair we were ravaged by injuries at that point, and running on fumes due to being in an extremely competitive title race against ChelseaWe were probably the best team in Europe in 2006/2007 and he tore us to shreds at OT
They don't make them like him anymore, that role seems to have died out. Maybe Coutinho at Liverpool but much more consistent?Which attacking player in today's game would you put him at roughly the same level as?
Kevin De BruyneWhich attacking player in today's game would you put him at roughly the same level as?
This never happened.Goal against Celtic was phenomenal
Jesus celebration
Mugged Evra and Vidic at Old Trafford
I don't think there's a player like him in today's game. His set of attributes were unique.Which attacking player in today's game would you put him at roughly the same level as?
The biggest difference between Coutinho and Kaka is athleticism.They don't make them like him anymore, that role seems to have died out. Maybe Coutinho at Liverpool but much more consistent?
Yeah had nothing to do with us having our first choice defenders injuredWe were probably the best team in Europe in 2006/2007 and he tore us to shreds at OT
I came in to simply post about this.Shouldn't have joined Real Madrid in my opinion. I will always remember him most for when he pretty much tore us apart in the CL that one season. As well as one of, if not the best through ball i've ever seen against Liverpool in the CL final, just absolutely unreal, it's perfect.
Isn't De Bruyne fairly similar?Which attacking player in today's game would you put him at roughly the same level as?
Kaka was a better dribbler I think.Isn't De Bruyne fairly similar?
It’s very rare to see a player with as much strength, speed and athleticism as Kaka playing as a creative midfielder nowadays.Maybe Pogba when he plays in the 10?
He wouldn’t have worked as a winger. Some are saying he’d do even better now, I disagree, he needed a position most teams don’t use any more. Top player, when at his best over two seasons or so. Nowhere near greatest Brazilian discussions so I don’t see much of a chance of him being in the top tier of all-time players, I’m not sure there were that many great attackers in that mid 00s period.It’s very rare to see a player with as much strength, speed and athleticism as Kaka playing as a creative midfielder nowadays.
Nowadays a player with those physical characteristics would be pushed out on the wing.
Pogba's a good shout. Maybe Oxlade-Chamberlain? Much lower level obviously, but similar profile.KDB is nothing like Kaka. I can’t think of a player in this era comparable.
Maybe Pogba when he plays in the 10?
Dont shoot me
The last Best in the world player before Messi/Ronaldo.
Not sure about that. I think our 06/07 team was very close. That Champions League knockout game between us was almost like the decider.We were probably the best team in Europe in 2006/2007 and he tore us to shreds at OT
Henry, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho, Inzaghi... there were a coupleHe wouldn’t have worked as a winger.

Did Liverpool that season have an argument to being the best side in the world because they made it to the final?Not sure about that. I think our 06/07 team was very close. That Champions League knockout game between us was almost like the decider.
Definitely not. But comparative to Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane..might I mention Zico here? Same tier. Or below?If by top tier you mean the likes of Pelé, Messi & Maradona then no, he didn't have it in him. If not for the injuries I guess he could've been around the likes of Zidane or Rivaldo, especially if he would've had a dominating World Cup performance under his belt.
