2018/2019 Midfielders Rumours Thread

[El Matador]

Dude, if Isco has a 35M price tag he won't be joining us , thats for sure. He's more like 80M which we can't afford.

Read what I said. use the 35 to pay like 20 Million for the loan and like have a 50 Million option to buy in the summer since thats when we can spend.

Aside from Isco, I’m just nervous on our upcoming signing. We obviously will replace perisic this window.. It better be someone good, I dont want De Paul or Carrasco

Now that Frenkie Dejong has gone to Barca, Rakitic might leave this summer.
Would be an interesting player for Inter.

I don't think it is wise to sign someone like him. Aside from his wages, he won't have any motivation to work hard, let alone to listen to a retard like Spalletti.

God I wish Spaletti was a user here, so I can give you an infraction for the uncalled for insult.

Loan swapping object Ozil led the way as captain in his last game vs Cardiff. Local pub pundits assume this was a farewell gift

So he's going to China, I assume

Fuck Rakitic! Already 31y. Hopefully it's media bullshit!

His agent has already dismissed the rumour.

In fairness, someone will leave Barca. I guess Coutunho, Arthur and Vidal might be available, not Rakitic if Valverde stays. If it was Arthur though, I would be highly interested.

 

[Wallace]

I would bring both Rakitic and Vidal to play with Nainggolan.

Hopefully that would add more competition in the dressing room and also experience to deal with the pressure.

Arthur won't be available. He and de Jong are the future of Barca.

Fuck them all!

According to Elmundodeportivo we are after Rakitic https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/te...-oferton-encima-mesa-para-dejar-barca-7280047

He is not old, but he is too old for what he can use him. I'd rather trust in players like Dalbert, Lautaro etc.. next year Barella, and see how we can develop them.

Maybe I jumped the gun there, but with Arthur, Vidal, Coutinho, Rakitic, Busquets, De Jong him leaving is not so unlikely IMO, as long as Buqets is in shape.

Regarding Rakitic. I love how everyone loves Modric here but no one wants Rakitic where the age difference is clearly on Ivans side. Anyways, I said before, from all the 6 MFs they are going to have next season, I think hes least likely to leave as long as Valverdes there.

 

[wera]

Don't want either Modrić or Rakitić. We need to get a player we can have for 10 years, not a player we can have for 3 years

Yes, we don't need another Nainggolan.

 

[Wallace]

We probably have to look for a replacement for Nainggolan already.

He's not getting younger, and even if he becomes good for the rest of the season, there's no telling what he will do next season.

There's an old saying, old habits die hard.

We can of course take more short cuts again and get Modric or Rakitic or Vidal. Which is probably the route we will take, old habits die hard applies even for the club.

Of course but I think the goal is to have Barella here anyway who would be very close replacement. I still hope we could do some sort of a swap dea with Cagliari since Radja said few years ago he would like to come back. The only issue is wages...

Anyway, Rakitic is playing nearly everything and he is in a great shape even after the WC. Therefore, I wouldnt be against this signing, it would also obviously be good to pair him up with Brozo.

 

[A.l.i]

I would love Barella and Rakitic both this summer. Future + experience.

 

[Alex de Large]

Rakitic-Barella-Brozovic midfield has quality but it would work together? aren't they too similar in a way. I mean, none of them are super fast or can play as AM


Edited:
Actually Madrid were quite good with Kroos-Modric-Casemiro.

So i would accept Rakitic-Barella-Brozo if we have wingers like Karamoh-Keita in one side, and other winger who can actually score a lot of goals and doesn't have to defend a lot. So definitely a 4-3-3.
