Hope this is true. He isn't exactly young, but we would be a different team with Fernandes and Rakitic in midfield than we are with Mttic and Pereira
Barça news accounts on Twitter quoting Cadena Ser as a source for this as well. Probably where Dawson got it from.

I just don't know what I would make of Rakitic. £20m is nothing really for a player of his experience and talent, even for 2 seasons maximum....but he's a dick and I'd rather we moved away from this type of signing.

You would think a move to Italy would be his preference.

But I suppose Joao Moutinho made the move to the PL at a similar age and has done alright.

The fee is relatively small, but I expect the wages would be exorbitant. It would also contradict our recent policy of signing players who are still on the up slope of their careers and hungry to succeed.

Rakitic would be our best midfield signing since Roy Keene bar none.Get him in.

Why is Rakitic an idiot? What have i missed?
Rakitic said:
I respect gays but do not want them in the same dressing room. I would not exit a team because of that, for I respect gays just like I respect dwarves, fat people and black people, but if possible I'd rather not have gay people in my life

We all love United
Not sure what he actually said wrong there but he’s entitled to his opinion. I get that perhaps he should keep that opinion to himself but he was probably asked about it, wasn’t he?

Really? He has a problem with peoples sexual preference to the point he doesn't want them in his life? Nothing wrong with that?

I would take Rakitic in a heart beat. Short term solution yes, but it would be a very sweet short term solution. Sign him up Ole!

Hard to know where to start there. Even allowing for the possibility that you might not be fat, gay, black or a dwarf, you can't find anything to be concerned about in that statement?

Its big of him to confirm he tolerates black people and dwarves isn't it.

Well you're a freaking idiot then aren't you? He's basically saying, since you seem to need it spelling out. That he thinks gays should't be around him , the same as black people. Which infers he thinks that people of different colours or sexual orientation to him are sub human and he shouldn't have to associate with them, given the choice.

Bizarre to get another young keeper in really.
Dean Henderson has said he’s not all that interested in staying as a number 2. He’d probably fetch £30m in the summer so maybe we sell him and keep the De Gea/Romero duo.
