Torres warns Kaka over Man City move
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'."

corey on sun how old are you 10?
I do think Kaka will come and he`s just the start,like it or not it`s just something you will have to live with. I can, CTID
kaka should indeed stay at milan, torres should have stayed in spain, do you of double standards find this insulting and offensive - i hope so. there's more to life than the football circus. Ctid.
torres is far better than any man s h i t t y player and is right man city is and always will be a bottom table club hope you fags get relegated so we dont have to watch yr bunch of chumps play the shittest football in europe....no way kaka would join your bunch of little girls to fight to stay up every season....man city suck and everyone knows it thats why they cant even sign bellamy lol....
