Ivan Rakitic

[sdrcfc 461]

amazing vid. 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.

Didn't get picked in Belgium's world cup squad, Defour got the nod.

If Real gets Rakitic for 40m, they might be ready to sell Modric, no?

40m? Umm... they'll get him for around 25m...

Rakitic won't go for 40m.

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.

You can't post in a forum and want/expect people not to reply to your posts. That's the point of forums, smh.

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.

This is what you call a pass and a half!

Can you imagine Paulinho making that pass? No? Me neither.

Nope, but that isn't his game.

We've never been ones to shout from the rooftops like others clubs.

All round Box to box Players like Paulinho or Khedira vidal or nainggolan are what Jose is looking for not physically weaker players like Rakitic or Kroos.

Fixed.

Very close to signing for Atletico Madrid apparently

Either they are using the Costa money to sign him to play up-front(which is unlikely) or Koke/Turan is leaving. I can see Koke to MU for 50m have some truth if this is the case.

Not official I believe, so it should stay open for now.
