I think they’ll sign Diop insteadAm I the only one who thinks 35 years old Thiago Silva will be a liabilty for Chelsea?
Agreed but still miles better than Winks and SissokoNo idea, but 32 year old Rakitic is certainly not the same player today as he was 18 months ago. Possibly 70% of the player he was when in his prime.
Absolutely
Absolutely
Probably wouldn't be my first option, but I wouldn't be against giving him a 2 year contract.
Nah
It's not as if I have never been wrong about a player before, but with my hand on my heart, I thought this guy was a car crash on the few occasions I took a look at him.Meh after hearing whatFive @Five said on him don't think he'll take them to the next level
Pretty low bar mind
Rakitic is supposedly on £230k a week at Barcelona. I can't see it.
And Suarez is on £406k a week.
About £207k.

I'm leaning towards your argument.I have basically no interest in Rakitic at this point, Barca have been desperate to get rid of him for over a year and I’m not even sure how Rakitic fills a need. It’s not like he’s a defensive MF or even this exceptionally creative one. He isn’t very mobile either, so how does he fit in a Mourinho team.
Pleeeeeeeease Daddy Daniel.

In all seriousness, let's say we got almost all our cash back for Ndombele... put it straight into Van de Beek?
Ndombele out and VDB in, does it make us better/does the midfield work?
From the podcasts I usually listen to, what I am hearing is Barcelona's lack of athleticism is killing them. So this one wouldn't make a great deal of sense to me.But I fear he is done. Certainly think the PL is too fast for him
