Dembele is much better, but Raphinha has his positives as well, not a bad alternative to rotate with and cover for him when he's injured, though a more similar winger would be ideal.

Raph has 1 more G+A than Dembele in LL while having played 10 more games. The difference in quality is sizable, even without taking into account Dembele's 1v1 ability.

Raphinha has been an underwhelming signing. Did contribute to some important games... where Barca won 1-0. With Dembele those games are 4-0.
And underwhelming signing that has won he about 9 points directly in the league.

Okay then.

Haha no it doesnt work like that.

He gets the 3 points claim against Osasuna does he? When FDJ was MOTM by far when down to ten men and produces the pass of the season?

How many points has Gavi won?

Zero?

Well done to Ferran Torres for winning the 3 points for Barca today.

Thems the rules.

How many points has Gavi the attacking mid won the team?

More like 16 points :lol:

But there have to be some interesting decisions to be made in Summer.

Yep definitely more than 9, I low balled it deliberately lol.

If we get a crazy offer for him he'd sell because that's just business, said the same multiple times.

But yea lots of decisions to make, does Dembele renew, what do we do with Torres

Will be interesting.

His first season has shown that he can't be a starter. He's like the Barca equivalent of Asensio - scoring goals, adding assists, but not a top player and very frustrating. As a squad player, he's okay, but more was expected of him.


I just don't see him raising his level next year, happy to be proven wrong.

However, given that Ferran and Ansu are worse, the priority is two left wingers. Dembele may not renew and he is injury prone, so if we sell Raphinha another RW is needed anyway.

Maybe Yamal will become a first-team player at 16, who knows.

When Raphinha and Dembele both are available the choice on who to play is easy.

Dembele can do everything Raphinha can do, but is quicker/more explosive and can dribble past players with ease. Probably loses the ball a bit more, but that trade-off is worth it.

Dembele is simply a way more dangerous player.

Jammy taking things far too literal again :lol:

Not sure what's there to gain from downplaying Raphina's impact on our League campaign either. He's not an amazing player by any means, but has been vital. Kudos to him.

Ah so the rules are Raphinha gets the 3 pts when a tap in or end of a magnificent pass from another.

But when it is Raphinha getting the assist he is the one that gets credit for the 3 pts again.

Top stuff.

Been dog shite for weeks then good today is the reality.

Nah its all about the goalscorer is your rules.

Todays 3 points down to Ferran.
Nah you're just a grown ass man that loves to argue in the internet like like a little bitch or Karen.

But like I've said multiple times around this forum, raphinha has come up with many vital, goals & assist!! That won is very important points.

Nah 'too literal' is giving credt for the points to Raph when he scores then flip it when he assists.

Dont mind Raphinha.

Fairly sure I argued with you about him having more quality than you belive he has.
