11 - Raphinha

[FCBarca]

Indeed, a joy on the pitch on the night - deserved a goal in the end, even if only a pk

His pressure and closing down of passing lanes was instrumental in many situations where Barca ended up winning the ball.…even tracking back to prevent goal scoring chances for the Basque side

I was mixed on Raphinha after his 1st season here and while I would prefer him continuing, his FFP impact might be the sort of austerity measure needed to facilitate squad building around Lamine. Else it is someone like Araujo

If we sell the player with most end product per minutes played this season in the squad we might as well proclaim 2nd place as the objective next season.

There are 3 players that should be sold for good money ahead of him if we want to take this option. Araujo, Kounde, and De Jong.

He did step up his game and has been our best winger these last games but for 100m I'll take him myself to the airport.

I like his attitude, unless it's an offer too good to refuse, se queda.

.....35/40m is enough, for a bbrainless one that he is

 

[draconifire]

He is exactly the type of player we should be having in the team during the rebuilding phase. Has the hunger.

Lol....hunger and brainless play, surely, are what Barca need.

 

[vuji_31]

He us great concidering rest of squad.

We have a lot of worse players that we need to get rid.

Ferret, Lewa, Pedri, De Jong, Ter Stegen as our starters offer much less then him.

 

[El Barcelona]

Agree he and Lamal are our best options on the wing and selling him and keeping Ferran makes no sense. I like the idea of signing Nico and even then I would keep Raphinha so that we can manage Yamal's minutes better, the kid is playing to much imo.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Raphi has been one of our best men, selling him is no option

Gerard Romero: ‘The dispute between Raphinha and Xavi dates back to the Valencia match, where after Raphinha was substituted, he insulted Oscar Hernandez, and then the coach told him, “Calm down, you will not play against Girona.” That is why he did not play.’

Good on Xavi if true. Raphinha needs to undergo anger therapy.

 

[Windhook]

Reminds me of Pedri's role, without the cocky attitude ofc.

 

[serghei]

I think Xavi can get more out of Raphinha tbh. He should be playing 90 mins almost every game he's available. I can understand his frustration with subs involving him in moments during the game were he's very active and involved in the game.

Rafa beingnsubbed often, is all down to Lewa being undropable. it seems to have changed in the final games though.
We also need someone else on the left so rafa can play right so the teenager doesn't get burnt out. Someone not called felix or ferran.
