    I’d almost trust myself more at CB than that fraud Mustafi.

    Even then, Rakitic is still arguably better than every midfielder we have.

    Yeah, he was a regular RB for Germany circa euro 2012 when they made it to the semis. He was also a RB during his failed stint at City. He was only decent at best there though and only truly became a great player when he moved to Bayern and converted to full-time CB.

    Yeah, he declined drastically after a number of injuries and became almost a shell of himself. However, based on pre-season and his performances in early games, he seems to be regaining some good form which is perhaps why he’s been monitored by the club as a potential temp fix. 1567359931 Lol...

    Was just about to post this 1566340266 And keep Khedira & Matuidi? Talk about self destruct. Would take a while to fix this mess if the club keeps going like this.

    I take it you're exaggerating with the "miles ahead" and "way better" but i still I disagree with this. You're seriously underrating Rakitic or you've only seen him in doses. There's a reason he has been a starter for Barca for the last 5 years. Rabiot and Pjanic aren't "way" better than him at...

    Rakitic isn’t at his best anymore so I guess this sort of levels the playing field more (although he’s still better). But you’re correct regarding not getting much sell on value with him due to his age and him being able to drop off completely at any point. It would be a risky investment...

    Ra Rakitic is a class above Can. His football IQ is elite even though he has declined a bit. I’d swap them instantly.

    Imagine the club extended Khedira's contract last year and even gave him a €2M wage increase only to realise what everyone else already knew: he's absolute trash and now less than a year later, struggling to offload him:ratcafe:

    Danilo can also play LB. Some his better games came from that position..particularly at Madrid.

    How’s it a good deal when we only got half his value and a player that is far far worse.

    I think at a point near the end of his Madrid career, many fans exclusively referred to him as “DaniLOL” as so much did he resemble a clown on the field of play.

    So if Juve were gonna give him more than what dybala was earning, doesn’t that invalidate the whole theory that the swap was being done to somehow balance the books?

    Hazard had only 1 year left on his contract and was willing to run it down. Chelsea had to sell otherwise risked losing him for free. Pogba has a contract till 2021 which united can unilaterally extend for an extra year to 2022. They don’t have to sell if they don’t want to which is why he...

    Pogba is better than Pjanic no doubt but his recent attitude at United kinda rubbed me the wrong way which evened it out more. Maybe back here he would be different.

    That’s stepping sideways if no other midfielder is brought in.

    SMS wouldn't take Juve to the next level. He isn't anything special in my books.
