Ivan Rakitić

[Potroh]

He is really light years ahead of Denis, Gomes and Rafinha! You have to be an idiot to bench him for those three!

Those three??? He was benched a lot because of Arda, before the great manager realized that the Turk is anything but a midfielder...

 

[JerseyAddict]

10 MINUTES and he proved he's light years ahead of the rest of our pseudo midfielders ( rafinha arda denis ) i suspect benching him is due to some personal stuff

think it is about the raise he wants. He so they say asked for 8m. They so they say offered 4.5m

Now they are showing him basicaly take it or leave (it).

Not the way to convince the player to renew. If anything they will make him go and in that price range we can't get anyone better.

 

[Horatio]

He won't leave.

this is the only possible explanation to play a fucking rafinha instead of rakitic in midfield.

i would let him go for Verratti

Verratti is much more expensive and he will request much bigger salary. And PSG won't sell.

and Barça is dry of cash to buy.

Verratti is earning like 6m before taxes in France. I don't think he'll want that massive of a jump from that and his agent is not Raiola or Mendes either.

And it would be above salary FFP.

 

[Barcaman]

In a perfect world players would get paid on how much they sacrifice and how much sweat they leave on the pitch. Guys like Suarez, Mascherano, Rakitic would be top tier here.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

Basicaly they fu with Paco and Gomes. Trashed money on buying and sallaries that could have been saved for ie Veratti.

42m pounds for Rakitic?

Ok lets say we sell him for 42m and who will we buy for that amount that is better than Rakitic? Even if we sell Rakitic and for example Rafinha it wont be enough for Verratti. Maybe if we sell Rakitic and then Turan to China...
