This is only his second season. It is too early to start comparing him with Boban or anybody. For now everybody is satisfied with his progress and setting in at a club the stature of Milan with high pressure for quick deliverance. He has done it extremely quickly. He is heading in the right direction towards greatness. He just needs to keep his head in its place and great things will come his way.
At this time he should be a starter. Rui can take over in emergencies or different situations but not for the entire season.
I think Kaka is deadly when played as a forward rather than in the hole as fantasista. The Kaka Sheva combo in my mind is pretty lethal but it may not be played for a while.

Presidente,
I think he is more efficient as a forward floating behind Shevchenko. I am not saying he can't improve as playmaker as the kid is improving. Kaka at this time is not a pure assist man as a playmaker should be. He is more of a goalscorer with his movement, pace and brilliant shot.
Put him as forward and he will score more. I am sure of that.

I think he can be as Haroon mentioned, better suited to be playing right behind Sheva. Not a real forward and not a real playmaker or # 10, a kind of a 9 and a 1/2 as were other illustrous champions like Platini or Zico or Baggio. Players who could take the ball, run at players, assist and score. He may not have the short range killer passing of a Baggio or the long range passing of a Platini yet or he may not have the raffined finishing of a Zico or his technical controls, but he has a bit of all 3. And with time, he can reach the level of these legends IMO. :stuckup: Also, physically, he is stronger than all these 3 legends combined and his margin of improvement is simply unlimited. Scary if you think about that he is only 22 years old!!!:dazed: :devil:

hehe, not comparing man. Dun worry. It somehow struck me that they both are lean and rather leggy. I was watching clips of Boban I dl-ed and I thought the likeness was a little apparent. Just trying to make a tongue-in-cheek comment. I was kinda bored at the time.Haroon said:
Love two things abt Kaka:
- strong on the ball and hard to shake off the ball even with his rather slim and slight figure
- elegant finishing
I would definately play Kaka over Rui Costa at the moment. It would be unfair to play him for a season, and then just cut him off at such a young age. He is the future, and Rui Costa's job should be to help him develop further. Rui Costa can do a job for us, but not as a starter. It's just my opinion of course.

Boban was more static and more of a midfielder than Kaká. Their only similarities is that they're both unbelievably talented.
BTW: Agree with Haroon here. Kaká is to me more a support striker than an offensive midfielder. That said, he probably should stay where he is now, as we have four capable forards.

Ricardo is more complete a player than anyone his age. I'm sure he's got bags of tricks up his sleeves, but he often prefers to let the ball do most of the work and can easily identify a teammate in a better attacking position ( he seems to have a nack for hooking up with Cafu for some of the best Milan plays I've seen in a generation :O ...).
Boban was a true verticalizatore... he is of the more 'direct' variety of a playmaker....a more-stylish Andreas Moller kind of fantasista... very subtle not very flashy...although it can be debated to what extent they can take over a game...the art of pulling strings....
Rui Costa is the opposite, almost. He roams around from side to side playing little one-two's and not often causing serious penetration. A joy to watch by all means, but not always as big a threat to our opponents as the more effcient type of playmaker I mentioned before....
Pirlo has decent mobility and ridiculous vision, he passes the ball like no other player I have seen. Out of all our midfielders, he and Rui are the biggest defensive liability but having a line-up with both raising our attacking options significantly.
Seedorf, hmmm, - he's just a machine. When there is no fuel the engine chokes. When the tank is full the V12 purrs. When the nitro switch is flicked on ..... guess it makes the Dutch Rossoneri fans start feeling nostalgic.
Back to Kaka, the boy who just flew over from a relatively "humbler" outfit into the fiery pits of San Siro and relegated other great, reputable players to the bench. To be able to handle such responsability at his age is dumbfounding. Even now that we're still in first gear and the results are nothing to smile about - I still can't allow myself to feel overwhelmed with disappointment.

I see, I see. Thanks guys. Just thought what you guys would say abt that. I follow Milan, but not really supporting them. I feel that they play the most balanced game in the curent Serie A, ncie blend between possesion, defence and attack.
Saw the Parma-Inter match the other day. Parma's passing was superb. I love to see those one-twos and lay-offs work in such a way. Pity they didn't win.

I think barring any injuries it is easy to come to the conclusions that Kaka will be much more succesful and recognised as a Milan great than Boban. That is partly due to him playing in a better Milan and even more because he joined at a younger age. He will most likely be better at his peak too.
Ooops, just checked it. He was in Milan already in 92/93, our best team and year ever IMO. It was just that he was not a factor for us then, when he got into the team we where steadily declining. as our decline was fast after Van Basten got injuried. But as said, I stand corrected as I believed he came in the 93/94 season.Cacìni said:
