    Ivan Rakitić

    fairly shite tonight, but that's not the issue. the real issue are those long/diagonal balls that are played so often at barca :wacko:

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    sure, it is fair not to judge someone before they show what they can do. but placing faith in a guy who clearly hasn't the same experience and quality as fabregas or xavi is mighty risky. if we should buy another mid along with rakitic i might be convinced.

    well 5m on average. and those other midfielders are nearer cesc's average than rakitic's.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    pass length is the key for me. just goes to show that rakitic is used to another style of play. we don't play long balls, because we hardly counter. unless we change something in the system, i don't see him retaining a starting spot at barcelona.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Dani Alves is the only starter(world class) player that we bought from Sevilla. Adriano and Keita were backups. Excelent backups but backups none the less. The only way I see it is that we buy Rakitic and someone else to control the tempo. Problem is that a CM to control the game is very hard to...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Well I'm not the one that started the Xavi comparisons. And I see Koke as a more box-to-box type than playmaker. Rakitic for 20m would be a steal.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    When was the last time that Xavi sat deep and bombed balls forward or charged into the box? "Bossing it" at Sevilla is not the same as "bossing it" at Barca in the Xavi role. Hell, even the best playmaker in the premier league didn't boss it here and he grew up at la masia. I'm not saying that...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I thought we were talking about someone to replace Xavi. Rakitic is more like Rafinha, which we already have. :icon_confused:

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Isn't his style more direct? Barcelona uses a slow build up, not counter attacks. Sure he may be more mobile than Cesc, but I see the same direct play that we blame Fabregas for.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Maybe I'm wrong but i don't see him rising to the level of Yaya, Fabregas, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets. And yes, we had worldclass quality in all three midfield slots.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I know Rakitic since he played for Schalke. Maybe you should stop questioning my football knowledge and accept that everybody has an opinion.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Well most top midfielders have something special from the start. If I understand correctly Barcelona is selling Fabregas and replacing him with Rakitic. So this guy must be first team ready, because Xavi will be benched more often next season. Xavi, Iniesta, Busquest and Fabregas were all...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I really don't see him performing at a top club(barca, real etc). An option as a sub maybe, but first team? If he was such a special talent he would have been snatched long before, when he was at Schalke.

    Andrés Iniesta

    probably he will score the winning goal in the UCL final against real madrid be strong andres!

    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    his celta team play some good football and are safe from relegation. the roma episode is debatable. you think that pep would have had the same success if his career started at that roma side? i'm am not expecting enrique to be the "next pep". i'm expecting an evolution. the only similarity...

    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    because in modern football staying at the top is very hard and a performance cycle usually lasts no more than 3 years. let's not forget that this barcelona has the best record in UCL in past years. not bayern, not chelsea, not real or man utd. i think the board missed an opportunity when they...
