He's spanish, he probably doesn't know anything about Mayweather except for the fact that he's a good boxer.

Floyd does not have a clue who Rafa is.

It's more like the other way around. Floyd probably has no clue who he is while Rafinha probably does. He is the richest athlete in the world.
Also Floyd is actually quite popular in Brazil.

And his brother is Spanish, apparently.
He's also brazilian. As is Diego Costa.

He's spanish by residency, he was born in brazil but has been living in spain the majority of his life and even if he lived mostly in brazil I don't expect him to know about mayweather's domestic violence history.

He's in Brazil whenever he can, has a lot of brazilian friends too. And there's this thing called the internet as well.

The internet has everything if you look for it, if you google Mayweather where I am right now (the U.S) nothing immediately comes up about his crimes you'd have to add to the search or go into his wiki and look for it. Rafinha probably doesn't give two shits about boxing but just happens to know mayweather cause he's the best boxer atm, same with how most people in the U.S don't give a damn about golf but know tiger woods.
Not saying its not impossible for him to know I just feel like he doesn't care about the man enough to research him and find that sort of thing out.

Whoeverdoubts him about possesing certain things should watch that compilation and find out that he is no ordinary player and worth keeping around. There are some things he can do that give me hope he can be a starter here someday to make up for the loss of Thiago.Him and Bartra should be kept at any price.

I hope we can keep this guy, at least give him 2 years. From his game I see the rare gift of constantly beating your marker while playing as a midfielder. It IS rare since most of the young midfielders now don't do that. That's exactly what we need since we play a pressing game.
I admit his lack of assists, but you can also see that his teammates seem to have no idea what he's going to do therefore cannot receive his ball nicely. And this could be improved by more playing time. So let's give him some time and see.
