Mad 4 It said:Would rather spend the money it would take to get him on Sanchez and Subotic. A much better investment of funds for the future. TBH I don't think he would come to us especially after what happened with Robbi
Neither Kaka nor Pastore, can play the Barry role. If either is brought in, they will play the Yaya role, and Yaya will be dropped backwards to play the Barry role. The Barry role has a large defensive element to it. It is the Second DM role. Pretty much the Xabi Alonso role.

Nothing happened with Robinho, we bent over backwards for that fool and he just couldnt be arsed.
Kaka for me would be an excellent move, has proved over his career that he can play against British opposition and although his time at Madrid isnt working for him i'm convinced if he was deployed in Barry's position after a run of games could be fantastic for us
We need a forward thinking midfielder who is capable of finding pass after pass to the forwards and able to chip in with a few goals himself - Kaka for me is that man.
I think Mancini has earmarked Pastore for this role though, not that i'm complaining like!

Sahin, Assamoah, Auturo Vidal, Xavi Hernandez, Javier Martinez, Carlos Martins and Borja Valero.
This role requires a unique blend of the positioning of a DM with the skills of an AM.
Personally I think Sahin is absolute tops right now in that position.
But neither Kaka nor Pastore is a box to box midfielder. They are both Attacking Mids/Support Strikers. And both are adverse to that kind of defending fans appreciate in the Prem. Personally I don't give more reverence to getting "stuck in" players. I don't get stoked when Tevez runs from player to player to player, chasing after a ball being passed around by defenders.Blu KB said:Dax777 said:Neither Kaka nor Pastore, can play the Barry role.

To play in his position not his role.
We don't need Barry, De Jong & Yaya in the midfield together, no matter how advanced Yaya is at times. Kaka or Pastore can be our box to box midfielder we so desperately need.
Shame that Mancini doesnt seem to agree.
