He doesn't have to go if we don't receive a top offer. But he needs to be downgraded to a squad player. He'd struggle to catch consistent minutes at Bayern, Madrid or even Juventus.

I loved this guy but honestly it's time to go. we need entire new midfield. He was great in first two years but now he is just awful. Only Busi can stay all other midfielders have to go! Literally all of them!

We will sign Deulofeu and Cancelo and call it a window. This board can't negotiate for shit. Expect more unproven mediocre players and prospects pouring in this summer from the likes of Valencia, Sevilla and Villareal. We will still spend 120m this summer, but instead of buying one or two proven superstars, we will opt for 5-6 overrated, overpaid commodities.

Lets sell this guy to Man United and make some good money. . .
I am certain they will pay for him.
Lets do it while we still can.

I wouldn't mind, don't watch Barcelona with as much scrutiny but he looks in decent shape still to me.

Am absolutely baffled as to what his role was tonight, it wasn't as a midfielder or forward. Tactically you guys were a shambles.

Rakitic is one of the players that suffers from lack of motivation. I don't think we can afford better donkey who is also decent on the ball as Rakitic but if this is how it's gonna be then he needs to be sold. We could cash in nicely on him.

I don't understand what fuking lack of motivation? Why is he such a wuss? I hate his feminine appearance. Suck it up, you are being paid to play for Barca, grow some balls, be a leader or go back home to your princess to play a wally ball under the rainbow.

He is such a type. From his interviews you could read he just wants to take it easy.

I've seen more fight in Messi tonight.

Not sure we should cash in on him when we have to get rid of Gomes, Arda, Denis and possibly Rafinha first.

Perhaps keep him for depth and competition, but then again his wages......if they are too high then we're in trouble

If there is a possibility to take in 35-40m. for him, do it!

We need to sell Rakitic, Gomes, Denis Suarez, Arda Turan, and Rafinha. Keep Busquets, Iniesta, Roberto, Alena + 2 new midfielders.

Rakitic is still a decent backup. You can't sell over 50% of your midfield in 1 season, specially when you plan to keep an Iniesta who you'd be lucky if he gives you 50% worth of games in a season.
I'd be happy with Arda, Rafinha and Gomes being replaced with 2 WC starting CMs. Rest I'm ok keeping for depth.

The problem here is not Rakitic, it is the people who bought Rakitic and thought they were getting anything more than a rotational midfielder. This was always what he was, and the fact he has had good periods that might have belied his status doesn't change what he is. Rakitic was, is and will be a rotational midfielder for this team. He needs to be played like one.

It would be good to have Iniesta and Rakitic for depth and competition. We would actually have good depth for once and experience.

Two midfielders needed. One AM and one CM.
