Rafinha Alcantara

[psychotsek]

I say, if they bring him back this season, then he gets playing time!

Left wing: Neymar, Pedro
CF: Messi (or sometimes neymar, pedro, alexis)
Right wing: Sanchez, Deulofeu

I wouldnt see a problem

I think it would be better like this :

Left wing:Neymar,Tello
CF:Messi,Alexis
Right wingedro,Deulofeu

I think Alexis is better utilized in the middle and Tata needs to rotate Messi more often so we can protect him from injuries.

 

[The Observer]

He will leave like his brother.

Iniesta got another 4 or 5 seasons in him, pretty much like Xavi is still going with 34. Cesc is only 26. He won't get the playing time his father will demand. In his first season he might accept rotation. In his second he will already demand a lot more. In his 3th he will still not be a starter and leave. Predictable, really. It will probably coincide with Pep succeeding Wenger at Arsenal so Rafa will be a Gooner. DAT Özil-Rafinha combination.

Don't say I didn't warn you. :thiago:

If that would in the end happen, I'd say we hire a hitman for Mazinho.

 

[FCBarca]

He may leave, there's no question about it...Not just because of Mazinho or Thiago or that he's not Catalan...He seems to have no problem going in a different direction from his brother as well so it's hard to say what his ambitions are...He seems a bit less ego centric than Thiago so perhaps he will flourish here & stay...But that's a conversation for another time, plenty of time for the circumstances to change dramatically

You need to give me tips on football betting man.

 

[Theconomist]

So apparently United wants Rafinha, please please don't let him go.

 

[linetty]

I doubt if he even takes Utd as an option for a possible move

 

[suckabov]

United is linked with every midfield player right now, so I wouldn't take that too seriously.

 

[DinhoR10]

I dont see how he can't get playing time at this point, Xavi is slowly being eased out and iniesta/cesc can't play everygame.

 

[dlx3]

He is having an awesome game again. Just scored few minutes ago.

[te amo barca]

those balance and strength

 

[DinhoR10]

Thiago who?

 

[DonAndres]

What a beast today, MOTM by far. Celta dominated Getafe who parked the bus completely. He has such a bright future.

 

[Sumlit]

I think I can say without any danger of exaggeration that Rafinha might just be more talented than his older brother. His growth and evolution at Celta has been nothing short of spectacular.

The way his game has evolved this year might just have saved Barcelona the need to purchase a CM. Rafinha is very much capable of playing CM for Barcelona next year.
