Ivan Rakitić

Frodo was the one who said "Typical RM fan." Behrox had nothing to do with that.

Well, that's a bit embarrassing....

My apologies to you, Behrox. Although to be fair my argument about your response being completely out of context still stands.

Fits Barca like a glove.

 

[CatalinR10]

great game

 

[Height18]

great

 

[linetty]

Should be MOTM instead of Messi.

 

[Antimadridista1]

Rakitic 18m and James 81m.

 

[gatsu]

100% starter, passing ability, positioning, game reading, defensive work, the perfect player for any squad, and just for 18M.

He's been really impressive.

I'm sorry to offend any Xavi fans in this board, but I would easily pick Raki over him right now. Raki has enough physical strength, height, and great through-ball ability. Neymar and Suarez will benefit far more with a midfielder like Raki.

what a monster. shooting ahh. no offense to xavi or cesc, but rakitic's shooting is something missing from our midfield. immense rockets from him

akitic: "Luis Enrique asks me to shoot from outside the area? Well, yes... (smiles) He knows my game and that's part of it."

Imo, I wont call him rakitic anymore, to me he's Ivan RAKETA!

Played a really good match, with lots of pressing and beautiful passes. Imo right now he's easily our best CM
