Ivan Rakitić

[gasgas]

He's naturally a winger. I'd rather him start there than someone like Coutinho or Rafinha.

Why not buy a natural left winger

We have all these left footed players and none of them fits best at LW

Because this deal would make sense. We're getting rid of Rakitic and getting in decent cover for the wing.

What cover, we have no position for him,
We dont need a right winger AT ALL.

It's a total waste of money

 

[gasgas]

Shouldn't we like think what players we have, what players we need and where these players are gonna play before we go ahead and buy them?

The gross incompetence that is with this club knows no bounds

 

[mc_lovin]

There arent a lot of options now. I would rather start the season with 5 forwards, 4 of them left footed, than with 7 midfielders.

 

[Armchair Expert]

Bernadeschi is less of a forward than Coutinho and everyone here was calling him a midfielder after he flopped on the left

 

[Andresito]

Bernardeschi worked well as a cross merchant for Cristiano. Surprised they want to get rid of him.

 

[gregorrin10]

Agreed with the sentiment but I feel 50 would be too much. I'd sell for 25.


How much did Real sell Khedira for again? And he was much younger...

I was obviously being a little sarcastic and over the top...I'd take 30M for him in a heartbeat.

 

[mia7007]

If they want Raki, they can buy him. What a player like Bernardischi will add to the team, he does good crosses and we are not scoring this way

 

[Messi983]

He'll stay and be back in the lineup as soon as transfer window is closed.

 

[Gaudi]

To be honest he is being treated unfairly. Yes, I would like him out of first 11 as we talked a lot about tempo, speed so no need to repeat myself, but he was always a good guy, good worker, humble, never done anythnig bad.

What do you mean? He played season after season no matter what. He had a special treatment so far. He is no Messi to warrant this.

I agree. People should be blaming Retardo for the fact that he played non-stop under him until this season.

Well he didn't name himself in starting 11, he has flaws but personally he is model professional.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Well he didn't name himself in starting 11, he has flaws but personally he is model professional.

He practically did when he said his position was taken in the team when asked about Frenkie.

What he should have said is that the arrival of Frenkie means good competition for midfield spots and should make everyone improve, yet he believed that despite some of the worse midfield performances in our humiliating CL games his spot was still safe.
