The KOP hero,
Fernando Torres.
Kaka, the 2007
FIFA Player Of The World.
Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is warning Kaka that a big
money move to Manchester City is no guarantee of winning
silverware.
City's lack of success in recent years should serve as a warning
to Kaka says the Spaniard.
"Manchester City is not the right team for Kaka," Torres told
the Daily Mail. "Seriously, how can they pay £100million
for Kaka?
"Big players want to win trophies and Manchester City is not
even in the race for trophies in England. They are fighting to stay
in the Premier League, or to get to the middle of the table.
"They have to build from there and then go against the biggest
clubs and after that, maybe, a top player will join them.
"Chelsea were high in the league before they started to sign
really big stars. Now everyone wants to play for Chelsea, but they
did not when (owner) Roman Abramovich first arrived. They built a
strong club and then it happened."
"For now, I cannot imagine Kaka playing for Manchester City," he
continued.
"It would be a fantastic contract, yes, but there are other
things more important than money. A player wants to be remembered
for what he has won.
"Imagine 10 years after you stop playing, you go back, you look
around, you are not in any picture, you have no medals, no
trophies; it is like you played for nothing.
"You may have a fantastic car, a fantastic home, but what does
it matter?
"You can have a contract that is better than your friends, but
no player looks back and says: 'I won more money'."
