kekkojoker90 12 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Radja nainggolan is superior to Rakitic imo and he had be a better value for money. I'm surprised how little recognition he recieves. He's been one of the best midfielders in Europe this season and a great shame he was left out of the belgium world cup squad for scrubs like Felliani and Chadli but why chelsea should need him? He is like matic and he never played in midfield with 2 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I like Marco Van Hinkel very much and we can use him. But i think he is a box to box CM. I would prefer someone with playmaker qualities next to Matic who is already a holding midfielder. Someone like Modric for example.Modric is the ideal choice but it's massively unlikely. Matic is a nailed-on starter going into next season so you're looking for the guy next to him and Rakitic is a possibility, but it looks like he could be set for Real Madrid. That's probably why we're been linked with Paulinho who is possibly a low-risk, high reward type of signing if the price is right.The issue with spending big in that position is that there's then a financial prerogative to use that player. Personally I'd like us to give a chance to the players we've got and look at cheaper players, like Paulinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matterz 67 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Not a bad shout. Fits the profile of what we need. Whether he's ready to be the number 1 midfielder at CFC alongside Matic though? I'm not very sure.If Holland are going to get anywhere this WC though he's going to need to put in some huge performances, especially now Strootman's out.He might not be ready to be the number 1 midfielder next to Matic, but he certainly has the potential and is the type of player we have been recruiting over the past few seasons. I think with Ramires, Luiz and if Lampard signs a new contract, there is a lot of experience who can play next to Matic while Van Ginkel and Clasie are bled in.Be a funny looking pair of DLP's though Clasie and Matic, one is like 6"5 and the other like 5"5 hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's available then we should try. Can't discount the LvG factor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't discount the LvG factor though.We should've just got him last summer tbh. He'll be expensive, especially with free spending United in the market for him.

Why have i never heard of that player? What a sharp, combative beast he is. He next to matic and we would probably never concede again. Anyway, conceding has not been the problem. The problem is rather we need a player who can slice through the opponent's midfield from deep, multiple times per match, as this is what we need to complete our team. I have not seen enough of this guy, to say he can. Rakitic might be a bit closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 How does he compare with Kroos? Haven't seen a lot of Seville to make a judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,720 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 How does he compare with Kroos? Haven't seen a lot of Seville to make a judgment.They are very different kind of players, you can't really compare them. Rakitic is an attacking midfielder, scores a lot of goals and creates many chances. Kroos is a central midfielder. Both Bayern and Sevilla play in 4-2-3-1, Rakitic usually plays behind the striker while Kroos is (in my opinion) better in the center of the midfield. He doesn't score too much goals but his passing accuracy is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Rakitic won't go for 40m.Yeah remembered he has just a year left...well he might go for 25/30 and I dont see point in Madrid having both Modric, Rakitic plus Isco and Di Maria etc...all playing for those two spots in 4:3:3. Surely they will sell someone if Rakitic comes IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
