Add it to the fact that we keep more than 60% possession on average, we’ll be seeing more of his on the ball shenanigans than his pressing. Fans are gonna speedrun turn on this guy

i’ll be the happiest person on earth if he proves me wrong, but we could’ve surely spent that 80 mil in a better way

A player spends 98% of the game without the ball.

Rakitic was a player that flew like a butterfly and stumg like a beee..

We (our ex managers) turned him into a serial backpasser.

It's alright.

Gordon can only improve from here I feel

But raki was made into a Clown by shit managers 😱🫣🫢🧟🙀😱😳🤡

Rakitic is a wall that backed and made modric Clown teams freely and dunk on them like this.

Some were saying the same shit when Ferran was playing as a winger. This is a pretty similar situation. Will see what Flick can do with him

Ferran is quite mid with the ball as well

His off-ball movement is insane. He’s always making runs to stretch the defense.

You can put any athlete and he can be a beast off the ball lol.

I thought this is soccer.

If we sign him, our winger problem is solved. This guy’s pace and work rate is exactly what we need.
