Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[SwiftGuyver]

most of the people moaning probably haven't even seen Rakitić play very often or at all...

he just isn't a 'big name' so not good enough in their eyes...

makes me question how long they have followed Barca, there was a period of about 3-4 years between Van Gaal & Rijkaard when we didn't win anything and there was like a 12 year gap between the end of the Cruyff era and the start of the Guardiola era (our two most successful periods) when things weren't so 'perfect', we have always gone through bad times and we haven't always just relied on big, superstar names to get us back to winning ways...

Rivaldo, Deco, Eto'o, Yaya etc etc were not 'big superstar names' when they joined us either...

read other team's forums (Man Utd) for example and you'll see that most of their fans are jealous about us potentially signing Rakitić...

Nah it's not about that, it's the fact we get rid of an am to buy another am which seems strange. I know the importance of buying second level players and possibly developing them.

 

[SwiftGuyver]

another AM who can also play CM, who suits our system better and adds attributes we've been seriously lacking the last 2 seasons, attributes that Cesc doesn't have...

 

[Hamzah]

Yeah he's tactically better suited. Not a specialist game controller though which is vital for our system. I would still buy one more cm.

 

[Galning]

For some people though, it is about that. Which is ridiculous.

I'm all for Rakitic but the lack of a CB worries me, the window doesn't open till July but I'm still shitting it

Looks like we might get Laporte, that would be tasty. The fartomeu would have made three good signings, and his statement might become true.

rakitic - fail if zubi wanna replace xavi with this guy

he has to be a xavi replacement in their minds because we have rafinha as a substitute

buy koke or vidal as well

rakitic is not barça class. maybe it's barça class if the europa league trophy is our new goal

Rakitic is coming to replace Cesc not Xavi.

That's because United's midfield is trash, while we want to sell Fabregas to buy an inferior player

 

[DonAK]

Haters gonna hate.

 

[José Mourinho]

vidal - firepower from the distance, ball-winning ability ,...

8mio salary if this is true XD

it's more xavi, iniesta I think

rakitic, this have to be a nightmare.

hopefully one more year xaviesta.
or iniesta & rafinha

 

[José Mourinho]

Rakitic is coming to replace Cesc not Xavi.

and cesc would replace xavi this season as a regular probably.
don't think they pay him 8mio as a sub.
we already have rafinha as a sub

Marquinhos (20) had a conference call with club and agent today. He asked to leave. PSG willing to sell if Barcelona make a good bid. [cope]
