Get this guy. NOW.

[lucio 5,418]

world class. sign him up

[mediator 2,026]

He should be the first name on our shopping list this summer

Get this guy to fill Mata, Kevin's place and for 20m+? Get real guys unless we are selling Oscar in which case yes he will be a good replacement, but I prefer Gritzemann more.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He is great but he is CAM and not CM...

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Got MOTM.

[mediator 2,026]

He is a CM, but playing as CAM these days.

Yeah, definitely looks like a #8 to me not an attacking mid.

He's done all he can do at Sevilla. Time to move on to bigger and better things. They usually sell for reasonable fees, too, so we should give it a shot.

We could also give them Marin to sweeten the deal.

Oh wait, they could actually ask for more money if we threatened to send Marin their way.

You see that ultra embarrassed look on his face today when he was subbed out after being a sub himself?

Felt bad for him.

Picture of Rakitic kissing his teammate Coké on the lips during the celebration doing the rounds on twitter.

Spanish journalists are so impressed by his season/stats and they are labeling him as a "todocampista" (a player capable of playing anywhere in midfield).

He got a lot of praise throughout the season from the Madrid based newspapers.

He is a good player, but I just have a feeling he will choose Madrid over every other team if they really want him. He knows the league, he has settled well in Spain, he has media kissing his arse every day, Modric is already there etc. you know.

And the funniest thing is that Sevilla won't be in the position of asking for a ridiculous amount of money as he is in the last year of his contract. I'd say €23-25m will be the amount Sevilla will get for him this summer.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

He's very much like a Modric.

This may make me sound like a terrible person, but signing a gay player could actually help our image.

[The Mak 4,459]

Now that is what you call passion. Totally committed. Maybe even some tongue as well. No messing about with this guy!

Is he though, or is it just a funnily timed photo?
