11 - Raphinha

[jamrock]

Numbers wise, Robben or Ribery never put up anything like this in their whole career, and Raphinha plays defense on top of all that.

Want to hear something truly ridiculous though?

Messi averaged 70 G+A a season from 2010 to 2019, over 10 straight seasons

Yikes

Messi was an animal. I guess still is.

Esta es la millonaria oferta de Arabia Saudí a Raphinha y al Barça

Saudi plans to offer him a $200m contract over 4 years and put in a $100m bid.

Those are the kind of numbers for him personally and the club that you seriously have to think about.

Especially in a situation where Madrid can pull a $100m lever in rodrygo or a $200m vini lever.

 

[JamDav1982]

Raphinha wouldnt go most likely but they would definitely consider it.

The options would be a new big contract at almost 29 or selling him for big fee and club would opt for latter.

But they wont push him out after what he has done this season.

The compromise is renew and sell after World Cup.

If you sell Raphinha our attack becomes mediocre. He not only scores a lot, but he assists a lot as well. There's no guarantees you can replace his offensive numbers even with 100m to spend.

He adds things for this team no other player can from what we have.

If we win the treble this season it is tempting though for 120-130m. He might also feel his mission and legacy at Barca is set and could take the money. Up to him basically. No way Barca can push out its best player this season.

 

[JamDav1982]

Which is why it would have to be a lot of money.

Part of the theory/risk would be the numbers also being down to Flicks system and what could get out of others.

Cant see it anyway this summer at least as he will want to stay until WC would think.

Best player this season remains to be seen but he is up there... but he is definitely not more 'unsellable' than likes of Pedri/Yamal.

 

[serghei]

I think we should talk replacements, not money. Cam we get Isak and Nico by selling him and adding some cash?

As you saw with Neymar, money doesn't always translate to top class confirmed signings.

Best player?

 

[serghei]

Best player?

100%

 

[JamDav1982]

He hasnt been 100% the best player.

It is between him Pedri and Yamal.

The other issue if he wants more than they are prepared to give him to renew which was reported.

What do they do then?

 

[MonteCuler]

Fantastic season but I think Pedri and Lamine are both ahead this season

It only speaks of the team quality this season considering his numbers

 

[serghei]

Nah. Raphinha is clear so far. Guy barely scores any tapins btw.

Some clutch solo goals also.

 

[jamrock]

it's between one of the 3 this season.

But regardless 100m for him at 28, he will be 29 in December, is something any serious club would consider.

The athletic YouTube video I posted made a good point about mixing in players in their physical prime like him with youngsters so there is that aspect of it.

But if either part says I'm taking a the money, I couldn't be mad at it.

Question is who would replace him, in a world where there is no raph, a player like lookman makes more sense, than in a situation where we have both, similar profile player for half the money and you still have 50m+ to spend elsewhere.

 

[JamDav1982]

Nah. Raphinha is clear so far. Guy barely scores any tapins btw.

Dont agree he is clear but the number def are a big thing for those that may vote and dont watch a lot.

Any of them be deserving if Barca win regardless.

His numbers are sensational but a factor would be how much do the club believe that can be repeated with another player.

For example I am sure the goals/assists per minutes of Ferran and Raphinha are fairly similar this season could others come into the system and get good numbers whil also maybe improving other areas of squad.

A lot for them to consider if he wanted the move and/or is asking too much to renew.
