Rafinha Alcantara

He really isn't that talented. Most of our midfielders aren't right now tbh but I appreciate it when they try giving their all. Rafinha wasn't good but he was running around and trying so much. Incredible work rate from him. Same goes for rakitic.

I have a soft spot for him because he chose to play for Brasil but I have to agree with this. I didn't want to face it and even tried to argue he was a better talent than Thiago but I finally see the light on him.

Can Rafinha play well as a Right-back, guys? If not, does he have the potential to become a good right-back? Cuz m impressed with his work rate and stamina , which I think very important for a RB at Barca who has to run back-forth between two corners on the flank all the time! Also it seems to me that he s quite confident with the ball as well! If that's so, what do u guys think about this formation?

Neymar - Suarez - Messi
---- Iniesta. - Rakitic
-------- Busquet
Alba - Umtiti - Pique - Rafinha

:( seem like Barca hav to play with 3-4-3 until having a real RB then, I don't hav a good feeling about this formation or 4-3-3 with Roberto as RB who doesn't seem to defend very well nor hav enough pace or stamina!

Honestly I think if we get Thiago this summer he stays, if we don't then hes gone together with Turan. Because we have too many midfielders and someone will definitely go. Also it looks like we will buy even more, maybe Veratti or Silva.

The Sport article also states he has been thinking about it for awhile now and with Lucho, leaving it pushed the idea even further to leave.

We can't let this happen.

I get your point, it's sad to see one of our guys go, especially since he's been working very hard... However, he's not going to become a starter anytime soon, so if we can fetch something north of 35 million I would give it a long hard thought...

Need to sell Gomes and Arda, not Rafinha.

Ideally we sell both as well as Rafinha and Paco for the type of money Real get for their castoffs. We could get 100+ for all if our board wasn't an incompetent disgrace. Then we stock up the midfield with talented players. Won't happen though.
