I wish all this Pastore bumming would stop. Everyone is treating him like he is the new messiah. It's ridiculous. He has not even played in Europe for 2 years and has not exactly set the world on fire. And to suggest Kaka is not experienced is very naeve. He has spent 8 years playing at the top level against top teams at club and international level and he has only had a quiet year this year due to spending a lot of time injured.
Nah Not everyone. Just me :P I guess for me part of the beauty would be watching him try to go from a prospect into a superstar. I'd rather that than watch Kaka slowly deteriorate. Assuming that hasn't begun already.
He is 28, around the age when Brazilians start to decline drastically. He will be moving to a different league, wih a different style, on the heels of an injury and battered confidence from a poor WC showing, an injury and inability to get games in Madrid.
Sorry. Pass! Let him go back to Milan. That is where he is most likely to find his form and comfort again.
Kaka doesn't have experience playing in the Premiership. There is nothing naive about that. It is just a fact. He doesn't. Anyway all this will become clear in a few years. Hoep we are here to revisit. But just from a historical view, it is certain Kaka will decline, the only uncertainty is whether Pastore will rise to greatness. I am willing to take that risk. It is less risky than Kaka. Who's decline is a certainty!
