Iker Casillas believes that Real Madrid have made the right decision to splash the cash on Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Casillas is confident that the world class pair can have a similar impact on the club the way Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham had on the club.
Although Los Blancos have broken the bank to sign a couple of players to the tune of €161 million, the Spanish keeper is pleased that the club has brought in reinforcements after a disastrous season.
"I think it's fantastic to sign great players because the best should play for Real Madrid," the club's official website quote him as having said.
"Such an amount of money was paid in the past for men like Zidane, who was an amazing player and a great person. The same goes for [David] Beckham. I don't know Kaka, but I'm told he is a great guy and that's important."
Casillas may have won plenty of silverware with Real Madrid, but his focus is now on winning the Confederations Cup to go with the European Championships medal he won in 2008.
"I will always have the chance to win something every year with Real Madrid, but a Euro only comes every four years. Winning in Vienna was a childhood dream come true," he added.
"I didn't want to retire without winning a title with the national team. Great players like [Andoni] Zubizarreta, [Emilio] Butragueno, [Diego] Camacho and [Josep] Guardiola played for Spain in the past, but they had only won a silver medal in the Euros and an Olympic gold medal."
"The problem is we now want more. We are playing to win the Confederations Cup and the World Cup is around the corner. We are hungry for titles."
