If Real offered Kaka for Modric would you take it? Kaka's 29 now, so wouldn't really be part of our long term plans, but I reckon he could do a good job for a season, no denying he's still a good/great player, whilst we find a good Modric replacement.
Would you accept Kaka in Modric deal?

"............Kaka could find old magic back at Milan

The former World Player of the Year has been told to find another clubRivaldo peered down over Barcelona from the 18th floor of the Princess Sofia hotel close to Camp Nou. It was a decade ago and the world's player of the moment was asked about any up-and-coming Brazilians.
"There's a young guy who plays for Sao Paulo called Kaka who plays just behind the front two. You don't know anything about him in Europe, but watch him if he is chosen for the World Cup."
Rivaldo's 2002 recommendation came as a surprise. Kaka was in many ways his antithesis and Rivaldo had just spoken passionately about discrimination in Brazil and the gulf in living standards between his impoverished upbringing in the north-east of the country and the luxury enjoyed by the metropolitan set of Sao Paulo.
Rivaldo was from a background so poor that he walked a 15-mile round trip to training as a youngster. In contrast Kaka, the son of an engineer father and a mother who taught maths, was raised in Sao Paulo among the opulent Paulista villas of the middle classes. And Kaka was a potential rival, playing in the same position. Indeed, when Kaka made his World Cup debut it was at Rivaldo's expense for the final 18 minutes of a 2002 group game against Costa Rica.
Kaka would be as good as Rivaldo said. Better, even. Just a year later he had replaced Rivaldo for his country - and would do the same for his club. Unselfishly, Rivaldo had also recommended that his then club, Milan, buy Kaka. Though Chelsea also made a bid, Kaka moved to the San Siro for £6 million, after three seasons in Sao Paulo's first team. The slight 6'1 newcomer would elbow both Rivaldo and the sublime Rui Costa to the sidelines.
"He is simply extraordinary," shrugged Costa.
By 2004, Kaka came joint 10th with Wayne Rooney for the FIFA World Player of the Year award, a position which improved every year until he won a clean sweep of the Ballon d'Or, FIFA World Player of the Year and several other individual awards in 2007. Kaka was an integral part of a great Milan side of the mid-noughties.
"Brazilians said that Kaka played like greats such as Rai, Zico or Rivaldo," said Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, "but Kaka reminds me of Platini." Pele opined that Kaka was the new Johan Cruyff while Zico said he reminded him of Socrates."

That Merry go round makes sense.
Moutinho might be good in the long term but in the short term we will struggle.

It's true, before Ron and Messi established themselves Kaka was probably, if not, the best player out there. In 2007 he won the balon d'or and Fifa world player

"One of his major strengths was his physical attributes. The fact that Real want rid tells u hes not the player he was."
Another VDV for them.
Expect Levy to get him on deadline day dirt cheap.

Just the assumption that Kaka would join Tottenham, let alone him knowing what the hell 'Tottenham' is amusing.
But keep up the delusion kids.
Kaka join you for a season, and then you'd dump him, eh?
He'd be the best player that ever joined.
Stick to signing the likes of Adebayor and the Bentley's of this world.

At least we're making a few purchases. Wtf are you guys doing except for throwing yourselves at Modric's feet begging him not to leave.
At least RVP turns up for training sessions.
