I don’t care about his age. He immediately makes us better in the middle of the park even if it is for just one season

He’s better than anyone else Spurs currently have in MF

What do we think?
Rakitic has started just 10 of Barcelona’s 27 La Liga games so far this season. Furthermore, the midfielder has earned an average overall rating of just 6.44 in La Liga this term according to WhoScored.com. 22 players have earned a higher average overall rating than that for the Catalan side this season according to the website.
With that in mind, it may come as a surprise that some Spurs fans have reacted positively to the reports linking their club with a move for the midfielder.
