We have signed Alves and Keita from Sevilla in the past. Hope Rakitic can succeed as well.
To be fair the deal is not that great if the salary is 8 mil. That's ridiculously high for a player like him!
Stats-wise, Cesc beats Iniesta, and I doubt anyone on their right mind would prefer cesc ahead of Iniesta. Cesc never fit the team, never played really well as he should. He was surplus, never should had come back in the 1st place.
I remember everyone saying cheap the Neymar deal was when it first broke too. That turned out well.
To be fair this deal doesn't have any 3rd party ownership bullshit with it. And Luka Rakitic, Ivan's father, seems to be a decent chap.
Isnt Ivan Modric his uncle?
Cesc is not as good as Iniesta - not claiming that but he is more likely to score or assist than Iniesta is.
Cesc never fit the team? He never fitted playing alongside Xavi and Iniesta but alongside one or the other he was the most productive midfielder in the team and he is a lot better than Rakitic.
Barcelona midfielder Xavi (34) is considering to accept a 3-year offer he got from a Qatari team. [catradio]
Barca legend leaving for a Qatari team?

Filling a team with stars is often not the answer.
