Ivan Rakitić

Thank you for echoing my sentiments in post 9237. Really tired of the fanboyism and certain users trying to make it sound like renewing with a 31 year old and declining Rakitic, while giving him a wage increase in the process, is a great idea given how stacked our midfield will be from this summer onwards. Notwithstanding the likes of Aleñá and Puig or the fact that the board could buy a direct replacement for Rakitic should he leave to make it even "worse" in terms of having a stacked midfield.

Hypothetically speaking, if real madrid offered 120m for Rakitic would you guys accept the offer if you were in charge?

Idk if you're trolling, but who wouldn't?

Yes, for a few different reasons.

1) With €120M for Rakitic + our initial transfer budget of €60M + whatever we get from selling Gomes, Denis, Cillessen, Malcom/Coutinho etc. we could basically rebuild our entire squad.

2) It is €120M less they can spend on other players

3) It would increase the average age of their squad.

Might give them a goal scorer. Sell elsewhere

Should sell him and buy Dusan Tadic.

Tadic will be the experienced sub midfielder to rotate with FDJ, Arthur and Alena.

Tadic at 30 yo will come cheap.

Yeah, replace a DM with a winger, great idea.

As I already said after El Clasico: this RM side is very very weak. Even 21 yo kid FDJ had a masterclass against them. And I enjoyed watching Frenkie dominate RM midfield.

he performed against two teams that don't park the bus and are having a bad season. sevilla and real are shite when you compare them with previous seasons. they merely showed some fight just because they played us. and those games would have been won far far more comfortably if we had a real goalscorer upfront and not donkey suarez.
just imagine suarez not bottling or slowing down all those attacking plays we had against both sevilla and real.

You're a true fucking clown actually. And a sensitive 'fanboy' btw. Here's what I wrote March 2nd at 8:40 (during El Clasico HT).



You may have not seen it but then STFU and don't claim false stuff. I came to the forum that day simply to say that I really enjoyed his first half, which was world class indeed. His second half wasn't world class. Funny how you did notice it in FDJ's yesterday game but you don't apply the same methods for Rakitic.

I call a great game when I see one. Clasico was one. That was also only his second or third at most great game this season.

Btw, I don't give a shit about what Mourinho says. Mourinho also thought KDB and Salah are frauds. Mourinho was also sucking Lukaku's dick for months. Mourinho watched El Clasico and saw Rakitic having his best performance of the season. Of course he was impressed, as we all were.

You might cry so don't read any further but: Rakitic is a crumb compared to Busquets in both football's and Barca's history. That's the reason why I'll always be more tolerant with Busquets. And Busquets still is by far the better player today between these 2.



LMAO this part shows how weak your football knowledge is. So now that's all what we ask from our RCM now ? 'To cover Messi, help Roberto and score goals'? You know who did that job ? Paulinho. Let's send an €60m bid to Guangzhou.



Ronaldo doesn't play world class week in week out since about 2014 but it's all good mate. I see you're a true football specialist. That explains your Rakitic crush.

Since 2015-2016, all the following players were better than Rakitic, on a regular basis and had far more world class performances than your hero...: Pjanic, Verratti, Thiago, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro, Busquets, Isco, David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Eriksen. And there might be more than this.

Thiago? Isco? Veratti? hahahahahahahaah?! Dude Verratti disappeared in every important game, Thiago was injured half of that time and Isco wasn't even a regular starter LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. You are shitting on him every time like he is on the level of Gomes and yet you found ONLY 11 "better" midfielders in the world. This is hilarious! My football knowledge? And you don't understand that our RCM today needs to run and cover Messi because he doesn't run at all without the ball? Dude you know nothing about football if you are comparing Paulinho with Rakitic. Go and play FIFA you clown.
Of course you don't give a shit about what Mourinho says since you understand football much better by watching it on TV over and over again.

Regarding De Jong, I was among people who wanted him here from the first day since this kid is special. I compared him to Modric many times but you wouldn't know that since you are spending 99% of time in this thread.

Should sell him and buy Dusan Tadic.

Some people don't even know that Tadic is a winger.

 

[Leo_Messi]

Encouraging news.

Bartomeu said nothing else about Rakitic than him having a contract until 2021 with an optional year when asked about the contract situation of Rakitic while being a guest for SER Catalunya. That could hopefully be a message to Rakitic and his entourage that the club is not thinking about a renewal. Said "we will see" as well and that the sporting element is more important than the economic one. Could be another direct message to Rakitic and his continuous public begging for a new contract.

Here is hoping.

Our DM is Busquets, the double pivot will only work in 4-4-2 not 4-3-3, hence Raki is playing as a CM in case you missed the majority of games this season.

So Tadic is a logical solution.

I am out of this thread for good. After Neymar left this thread became the worst by far in this forum.

The solution is Frankie de Fucking Jong! We don't need Mourinho double pivot in this team nor slow ass turtle players. Puke on this defensive slow football that we are playing. Such a stupid reply!

So why did you write this than?!?! Tadic will rotate with FDJ and Arthur? Winger will rotate with CM and DM players? Tadic will be a sub midfielder!? Makes A LOT of sense!

Tadic has played CAM most of his career.. noticed he's been playing wide and through the middle with Ajax. He's deffo nowhere near CM or DM though.

Tadic best position is in the midfield, although advanced, as he can influence and assist players. He himself said that when he was in Southhampton. “I’m happy as I think this is the best position for me, where I can have a lot of influence and I think everyone can see that, We need to play for each other and to make the right decision in the final third."
