    He looked ideal to take over Xavi at the time when he was already declining. Rakitic was a great buy actually, Sergi Roberto's development will be interesting assuming he stays in the midfield...

    Where do you Barca fans think will be Coutinho's impact on the team?

    Coutinho is a versatile player but he's at his best when he controls the ball and pushes it up the field so he will be in the midfield with Busquets and Rakitić. I really hope we win the treble this year. Coutinho to fill for Iniesta or even Rakitić in La Liga and Copa Del Rey and keep those guys fresh for the UCL. We are freshing up the squad with some young players so that's good.

    yeah and I want Sergi Roberto to play in the champions league more in the midfield,his contribution will be key to progress all the way in that competition I hope Valverde sees that. I love that guy.

    4 years later, exact same f---ing thing happens to his brother Rafinha.
    Not necessarily.
    That would leave Semedo with no cover. So unfortunately no.

    I swear this Uefa league of nations competition is completely useless, just another tournament that will exhaust players

    Rafinha is known to be better going forward though less good overall (passing, tackling), but he's on loan.
    Rakitic has a good argument. 2015 Rakitic definitely. He's regressed over the last few years but this season he's been returning to form. And at his best this season he's been untouchable.
    Coutinho is practically a forward player so it's hard to compare.

    Rakitić hasn't been regressing anything. He didn't perform well last season because Barcelona didn't have a right back and he had to cover that side along with providing attack and keeping the midfield.Last season was terrible but it looks like we have been finally making some right moves in the transfer window,filling the holes in our team and we got a better coach than Luis Enrique.

    Kovacic has been linked to Manchester United. He should go there at once.He is ruining his career by staying at Real Madrid. Mourinho would make him a beast player.

    I think this will be the most surprising signing of the season

    Pellegrino should play a 442 with Carillo and Gabbiadini up front it would improve Southampton a lot

    And that's pretty much the nail in the coffin for Madrid's Depth. They can't afford to let him leave.
    I doubt it, i think he'd be better at liverpool (and liverpool would be f---ing unstappable with a solid CDM)

    Lmao who cares what Real Madrid thinks? I'm saying, Real Madrid are supposed to be a big club, a big club has proper player management and planning.Now if Real Madrid had that, they would have had a better backup for Modric than Kovacic. Kovacic was brought in Real Madrid to be Modric's heir. That's perfect,but you cannot have him on the f---ing bench.You are ruining him! A young player has to gain experience,he has to play to make progress,he is regressing on the bench. If he has any brain whatsoever he will leave Madrid because like I said , they have no proper planning for future they never had.


    I agree with you.Klopp is a phenomenal coach and he would be even better at Liverpool,but I would rather see him in Chelsea because I'm a Chelsea supporter or Manchester United rather than Liverpool since Manchester United is a bigger club and Mourinho is my favorite coach of all time and I want him to win trophies.
