Rafinha Alcantara

[Stric]

Horrible news. I feel so bad for Rafinha, these few months until January were going to be the most important for his future.

Also, I don't mean this as an insult to Rafinha, but when things like this happen, I can't help but think - that very easily could have been Messi.

Both Brothers are quite unlucky with injuries

Both unlucky, yes, but IIRC, unlike Thiago's, Rafinha's injury was the result of a tackle. So far, I haven't noticed that Rafinha shares his brother's proneness to injuries. I might be mistaken, though.

I know. This fucking berserk shouldn't be allowed to play football.

Ouch, that pic hurts to watch.

Poor guy Get well soon, Rafa!

Chill the fuck out. You're really behaving like children. He is an aggressive, careless, dirty player, but that doesn't mean he has the intention of hurting another human being. The people who are to blame for this and who you should be screaming at are those who don't punish him and ban him for his reckless behavior. The reason he does this is because he's allowed to, without consequences.

He's a strong lad and his family will help him a lot during the next 6 months, just like they did with Thiago.
He'll come back stronger.

True, but he is what he is, I bet he knows the consequences of his actions on players. If he doesn't, he is a retard.

Anyway, is this the same injury that has plagued Thiago?

Nainggolan should be banned for the rest of the season, if was the first time was okay, but he already injured others two badly, rafinha is the third victim, too much for a guy only

 

[Stric]

Him maybe being a retard is another point. He's made more than enough horrible tackles to be banned or at least warned in some way. The fact that he continues to do those, and without consequences, means that the authorities don't care about protecting players' health, and they should be blamed.

Devastated for the boy ,really beginning to show his ability and bring his own character to the team. Hope he comes back good.

I fucking hate players like De Jong and Nainggolan who go for ankles and knees trying to hack players down. If you're not good enough to look for the ball, at least pull his god damn shirt or push him or smth, don't scissor his knees.

People are way over the line about Nainggolan. "banned for the season", "should never play again"... I've seen way worse tackles than this and it's never got a punishment as you wish for Nainggolan. Such dirty players have always been in the game. Curse all you like, but your wish will never be granted.

How would you react if that was Messi instead of Rafinha?

Can some posters stop behaving like children? Those posts will be deleted asap.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Horrible news. Get well Rafa!

I will say Nainggolan deserves a ban, not over the top things like "ban for the rest of the season" or "should never play again"!
