True. We have Torres already.

If Dembele leaves, I want another speed demon.


Torres is incredibly good when it comes to movement without the ball in the attacking line. He is a very smart footballer.

But I agree that after the departure of Dembele we need an explosive, real winger. Raphinha is the best option.

Crazy technique, good shot, pass. But he reminds me of a futsal player. Looks like Marez. It seems to me that he lacks the strength and high speed to become an elite winger.

Said this a few months ago.

If Dembele leaves, we must take Raзinha.

He's got Deco's agent. In addition, his transfer fee will not be high.

I'd take a motivated Salah for three years. Salah brings goals and unpredictability. Raphinia is nowhere near a finished product and I'm not sure about his ceiling either.
Fati Auba Salah or Torres Auba Salah looks like a damn good forward line to me.
Imagine if we get Lewandowski and Salah. Depth would be insane.

Strongly linked to Liverpool. Apparently the recruitment department is current analysing and evaluating his behaviour patterns and psychometric aspects.

Looks like he might be the Salah replacement.

The board has also had talks with Nkunku.

Can see LFC going for both and more to appease Klopp.

Raphinha loses a lot of balls whereas Antony is far more reliable in terms of possession and advancing the attack from wide

There are many influencing factors in a pursuit for the player since Dembele's situation is still in the air and how much money will be available to spend if Haaland is not signed - I would make Antony the priority attacking signing

I checked and Raphinha and Antony's dispossession numbers are roughly the same? Acc to Whoscored and Squawka there's barely a difference.

And Antony plays in Eredivisie for the best team in the league.

Besides we need to replace Dembele with a player that can inject some of that pace and Raphinha is a lot quicker than Antony whose technique is unquestionably better, but makes him a more questionable fit for us.

Someone already mentioned, we have Ferran as that type of winger on the other side. I think we need a player of Raphinha's profile more, if we're looking to get as close as possible to replacing Dembele like for like. But I'd be fine with either of them honestly.

I knew it. I knew Liverpool was gonna be in for him as soon as the news about Salah's extension stalling came out. I think Klopp sees him as the perfect Salah replacement, just like Diaz will become for Mane. That's why I do wish we get him asap before they nab him and he inevitably becomes a beast for them.

The man who says that Rafinha is less technical than Anthony is an idiot.

Rafinha is one of the strongest wingers-playmakers.

It's just that Anthony has a rather futsal style of play. I can't call him a natural winger. He doesn't have the speed of Raphinha. Raphinha is as fast as Dembele.

But he surpasses Dembele in ball control and shooting accuracy.


Then someone else wrote Raphinha is not such a strong dribbler as Anthony. This is absolute nonsense. Raphinha is stronger than Anthony in dribbling.

How is Raphinha as fast Dembele, he has better ball control but Dembele is surely faster
