11 - Raphinha

[FinBarcelonafan]

True true. Walmart Haaland incoming!

 

[Raketa10]

I fear that he is just an average player and nothing more.

it's lottery these days

Boy, I'd like everyone who sniffs at almost every signing to give me a list of 10 non-made players who are the real deal to come back to it 3-4 years later and take the piss.

Too bad these guys just moan and offer no solutions whatsoever. But then, that's basically the usual occupation of a football fan forumist in bad times. Professional moaner.

25mil is great price.

Even if he fails, he can go back for more to PL.

 

[Andresito]

For 25m can't get anyone better.

 

[malvolio]

Don't know shit about him. But at 25M we can get our money back quickly. Not like 18M Braithwaite.

For me a top CB would be the main priority this summer, as I've realised we won't be getting a good enough squad to win anything major next season.

 

[Givenchy]

The type of player we should take the risk on imo. Chelsea are interested but he's Brazilian, so Madrid and Barca have a huge advantage

Well you rated Rakitic highly so this guy is positively genius in comparison

 

[Porque]

Everything aligns for this being a sensible signing. Especially if Leeds go down for 25m.

40 goals and assists in Portugal
28 goals and assists in England
11 goals and assists in France

Turns 26 in December, so the right age to hit the ground running and make the next step up in a better club with better teammates.

Yes he won't be a tier 1 player (and probably never so), but a team of 11 Raphinha level players wins you the League and CL- for perspective.

 

[serghei]

If it goes down to 25m, I doubt Barca is the best team that will be in for him.

The lack of footballing awareness in some of you is truly staggering

 

[Andresito]

If it goes down to 25m, I doubt Barca is the best team that will be in for him.

Who else can offer him a starting spot? He likes Barca and his agent is Deco.

 

[Porque]

Just have to hope personal terms are airtight. Liverpool were interested but opted to advance the Diaz option. And I think Raphinha will be resolved before Salah contract situation is.

If Leeds go down tomorrow they should be making that 25m offer to trigger his release clause by Monday evening.
