What is Barça DNA? Player with high technical ability and high football IQ. Rakitic fall definitely is this catagory.

I get that he’s obviously a real nice guy ...


He’s far too sluggish especially as the game is all about speed nowadays.. he’s far too negative given his default pass is backwards or sideways .
He also shows ZERO desire to get back when the opposition are breaking away ..

There is another option.

Any hot player coming through Sevilla?

We could keep Rakitic for next season or two then trade him for a Sevilla player. Rakitic has always said he would like to retire at Sevilla.

That way we get to blend de Jong and Arthur (Alena too) into the first team for the next season or two with Rakitic still around for quality and depth.

You are mad if you think FDJ and Arthur will both start a game together. It will continue the same, Arthur or FDJ + Busquets and A defensive workhorse. Hell, EV would prefer Raki and Vidal together rather than FDJ/Arthur combo.

Valverde has to leave even if we win the UCL.

No, get fucking rid and make a cheeky bid for Isco.

Isco could be another Fabregas/Coutinho in making, he doesn't have the mental strength, nor the fighting spirit. Even Real Madrid fans say the same.

I could be wrong, but he is not a sure shot like many think, he may very well struggle here as well. Add to that, the amount of money and effort it will take to get him here. I'd only get him if we could get him for cheap.

Your right, atleast for the 19/20 season if Busquets and Rakitic are still around. But well, it is nice to dream, and have logical dreams. Dreams that any manager bar Mou-Lite and Mourinho would make reality.

Did he do something bad to someone close to you or something? Your hate is outrageous. I mean, we all agree when he plays like shit(some fanboys see something else) but right now isnt the time to shit on him. Yesterday in those last 10 mins he did more impact then almost everybody else on the team. Against real he was pretty damn good, like top three performer in our team. Comparing to the previous period of the season when he played like shit( he really did) this period he plays like a barca player, responsible, fearless. What do you exactly want or expect from him? Whats your line up without rakitic, and have in mind that we played our best games last couple of years with him in team.. Speak reasonably, please

There are quite a few here like that. It is what it is.

Regardless of whether Rakitic stays or goes in the summer, buying Isco would be one of the dumbest moves I can think of. Clogs up the middle where Messi works, doesn't play defense, and doesn't have the canon Coutinho has-- that we thought would help us more than it has turned out to.

Do you actually read these posts or understand context ?

The guy commented he’d had another good game - yet he only played 9 minutes ..
