Rafinha Alcantara

[Yugi]

I never quite got the hype on him but that Espanyol match made me wonder if I had severely underrated him

if you watched him regularly you could always see he was bossing it, he was most consistent to say

 

[FCBarca]

I have him watched regularly, I now think it's been his teammates that have let him down

I honestly don't see Rafinha triumphing at barca. I actually don't see many barca youth players being good enough for Barca. Rafinha is a good player but only god knows how good he will be at his prime. At least barca could make some cash and sell him in 1 year if he does well at Celta.

He was one of the best players in Segunda last season. He'll have a great season with Celta.

The Celta move is ideal for him, especially considering who his coach will be. 1 season there and another in the top flight (Celta should probably bounce straight back up) will do him the world of good.

Excited to see a player who isn't out of favor go on loan to a club that makes sense for his development. He'll probably be playing pretty regularly in La Liga, and under Lucho? Almost too good to be true.

They're in Segunda. Still good though.

I'm pretty sure they are in La Liga.

Celta is in La Liga, they finished 17th.

My bad.

Officially moved to Celta on loan, great move for him and I hope Lucho can knock some of the Eusebio out of him

Will this thread be moved like the Deulofeu one?

Hopefully Luis Enrique will give him plenty of minutes, and he'll develop enough to be in Barça 1st team next season.

For a second I thought we sold him, it almost gave me a heart attack!

Flavia, it is kind of odd to move him to this second since technically he is still our player.
