What? We can certainly get him. He is dead set on leaving Liverpool. You just have to watch how he celebrates after almost everytime he scores. The question is, should we spunk 130-150 millions on him? If we bid that sum, he is our player no doubt. In the summer most likely. It's not the same...

He is not up to Barca's standards. As simple as that. Saying he's shit is unfair, on the other hand saying that he's a complete midfielder or that he's adding some valuable quality to our mid is also a gross exaggeration. He is mediocre for our standards. He's being used as a jack of all trades...

Not giving Liverpool "a billion" is not incompetence. Just common sense. Incompetence is waiting until August to put in a bid for him. Or anyone else for that matter. It was obvious to anyone with a brain that Neymar was gone as soon as he could squeeze Barca for every "fidelity" penny. In turn...

LMAO So basically Xavi+Iniesta+Busquet+Kante+Gerrard = Rakitic. Seems legit. :crbust:

Pretty much. He is getting as many starts as Messi and Stegen ffs. If that doesn't say Rakitic is glued to Barca, nothing will.

Rakitic is going nowhere. Where did the idea come from?

I think we did fine last night. I'm among Valverede s detractors and believe that he is a wrong fit, however last night the team consisted of bench warmers for the most part and I think they did ok. IMO, we played better than in the first game against Sporting and we fielded the first 11 there.

Don t know why Digne is always listed on not good enough players lists. What now, we should buy Alex Sandro and the likes to warm the bench? Yeah, good luck convincing players of that calibre to come here for that. Should also fork 50 big ones on them. Digne is fine as a sub to Alba.

Yeah, he can get way higher than that, but for his height he loses too many aerial duels. Not because he can t jump higher but because he often goes into them half heartedly like he s scared or something. At least that s my impression.

I'm one of the guys who likes Denis and wanted him to get more chances on the left wing but last night he was avarage at best. Too many misplaced passes, often dribbled into no mans land, kept the ball too much when opportunities for counters arose. Did good for the goals with the assists but...

You d want way more from a superstar getting paid like he is and treated like one by Valverde. Improvement is getting close to his 2014-2015 self rathar than 1 or 2 moments of decency per game. This is just sad.

He does have a shit ton of longevity on Lewa though. What makes me wary of putting him on a different tier is that his performances in CL have been good but nothing to brag about. At least compared to Suarez, Henry or Eto o. There is also that year with us where he showed that he can t optimally...

Zlatan a bit too high there imo. He s not a tier better than Lewa.

Nobody suggested that just because he is ignored he is not good in attack. The suggestion was that he can't show if he s good or not. Might be as shit as douglas for all we know. Fact is, tonight, he made some runs and the players who had the ball decided to play it safe with a pass bacwards...

I actually thought Acuna dived on most of them. Sure he has to dial back a bit on some of them but tbf Alves was pretty similar. In time I m sure he ll learn when to go for it or when to back down. Overall he was great on the defensive side imo.

He was pretty good tonight and aside from a poor cross he didn t put a foot wrong. I mean, not even Alves was recieving a pass on every run but being ignored for 90 minutes is something else. Valverde still thinks Rakitic or Luis Suarez add something positive for the team. Do I have to not...

Didn t know this. If true, here's to many more years at Barca! God forbid something happens to Stegen, at least we have someone like Jasper. I trust him against any team out there.

Too good to warm our bench. He deserves to start for another team. Though really glad that we have him.

Of course he does little he is fucking ignored most of the time. How do you want to see what he is capable off if when a 1-2 arises and he makes a run behind the defendres the recieving player does a 2 meter pass back instead of playing the 1-2 with Semedo. I swear, people expect him to take on...

Put a defensive shift also. Good goal.
