Do you think Rakitic will be a better fit for Barça than Cesc?

[Hamzah]

How do you think it's gone so far? Don't see any upgrade on Cesc to be honest with you.

I see a lot of potential once we define the system.

 

[Kasperroed]

As a part of a double-pivot he would be amazing.

He doesn't fit IMO, our midfield has (or had I should say) qualities to pass in tight spaces until scoring opportunity presents itself, Rakitic has different range of strengths - taking set pecies, long passes, long rage shooting, defensive contribution, these are very good qualities, but it's not what we really need.

 

[Ini8]

I think he will flourish as soon as we get back to playing with a midfield. Given Lucho's stubbornness, I don't think it'll be this season or under him, in fact.

 

[linetty]

Not an upgrade, yet, but we were better as a team back then with Pep still in charge.

I think he'll be a better fit once the team plays like a team.

 

[serghei]

He is a better fit in some positions, worse in others. As a playmaker, Cesc is a lot better no matter how you put it. As a defensive player, Rakitic is better and has better workrate.

So is Cesc.

After this I shouldn't judge a player without considering the manager he's playing for. Mourinho or Guardiola could probably make Van Bommel look better as a ball playing central midfielder than Luis Enrique with Rakitic or prime Xavi.

Aye, hate it when they do that.

Rakitic's just fits Lucho's Barca more that Cesc would.

Dont worry about it. FCBarca specialises in cheap shots.

But he is also the one who complained about the Suarez and Neymar signings being a 'galactico' policy Barca should be ashamed to go anywhere near.
