11 - Raphinha

[te amo barca]

For me, Raph has shown less at Barca than both Trincao and Malcom. The latter two could at least go past their fullbacks because they are better dribblers. They use feints, dummies, and nice little touches. Raphinha's dribbling is wide and sprawling, and his stepovers don't work even against average La Liga players.

We've also been linked to this Real Valladolid RB Ivan Fresneda. So have Real Madrid, Arsenal and Newcastle, but I don't know much about him and frankly worries me seeing the overall level of this Spanish generation as well as a weaker La Liga.

Are we? That is good news although first time I hear it.
He has long way to go, but he has that package where you can see if he develops rightfully, he will have it all.

Semedo's contract is expiring, bring him home.

This guy has a huuuuge monkey on his back... He wasn't a world beater to start with, but he looks amateurish out there...

Gavi perharps is a better LW

 

[Sooke]

Singing Raphinha was a big mistake by Xavi. After his disappointing performances in Barcelona it will be really hard to get rid of him this summer.

 

[Barcilliant]

Just send him on loan to an EPL side. He will probably regain form and we can recoup at least half the sum.
Another dud transfer. Something we specialise in even when we are broke lol

 

[Ustari]

Never like him the first time I saw him play

 

[Porque]

While we're at it Adama Traore also showed more than Raphinha and Trincao.

 

[Messi983]

Gavi perharps is a better LW

He is because Raphinha is not a LW.

 

[Barcaman]

We need to be more patient. He's a solid player and looks determined on the pitch.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

We need to be more patient. He's a solid player and looks determined on the pitch.

As long as we don't isolate him to a wing, he can be useful. He needs other players to connect with. Not Dembele caliber winger who can survive by himself and dribble out of trouble.

I will took L, he is not that good.

I didn't watch him at all, but scoring 10 goals plus some assists for Leeds in PL, I thought he can do same here with better team.
Also I thought he is much better dribbler, but he is really bad considering he is fast.

I would not waste time, and sold him really fast to Arsenal, they have cash, they offered 70+25mil for Mudryk, they can pay what we payed for him.

 

[Givenchy]

I had high hopes for Raphinha but he's looking like a Malcom. The moment Dembele made it clear he was renewing we should of switched target for a starting LW.

The main issue with him; hes too similar to Dembele. Both are high risk low iq wingers, you can get away with having 1 but two on the field at once will destroy us.

No loans, if Arsenal interest is real, try and make a small profit on him, the PL clubs are brainlessly blowing money.
