much better player isn't the argument here I agree Cesc is better but we don't need a better player we need a better fit for the team and thats where I like Rakitic over Cesc
He will be worse than Cesc at keeping the ball and wont create as many goals/chances without being on penalties and all set pieces.
Cescs stats will dwarf what Rakitic can do at Barca and his all round play will be poorer.
