That pass for Depay was nice, definitely still has his vision

He's got a wicked left foot and is great at setpiece (that freekick was spot on), but isn't great at dribbling.

wtf :lol:

His shooting has been on point so far this pre-season, I suspect he has worked on it. Tends to take low shots nowadays, but would like to see how he performs when the season starts.

He's now adding finishing to his game, this would be an interesting season for him if he can stay fit.

What of his goals against Sevilla (pre-season and Copa del ray), and his goal against Villareal and Tottenham. He actually scores incredible solo goals

Mehn, the competition that Raphinha has brought is really nice. We'll get to see the best of him and Dembele this season.

You could check online. Different news, but what's consistent is that his base net salary is 6m (hence the wage cut) and it rises to 10m/11m net if he can achieve some objectives. It's also believable cause he was a free agent, and signed a 2 year contract that can be terminated from barca. His...

I don't think he would since it's already in his contract. He might just defer it again. And for Dembele it's rumored that he was earning 12m gross before but now earns 10-11m net if he meets some objectives, and reports says that the objectives aren't that steep though we don't know what's...

And what happens if he doesnt accept the paycut? From my understanding of how Paycut has being with our players so far, it's just deferred wages, and that's why we're owing Pique so much right now and also owing De Jong 17m. So are we asking De Jong to defer

If Barca signs Kounde, then La Liga would be theirs to lose. The attack is really wild and stacked with different flavors to spice things up in difficult games

He'll still start for Holland at world cup if we keep him on the bench. There must be some reason as to why he's being stubborn and we can't really kick him out

It's still same salary, his contract was to end in 2023 but he agreed to extend it so we could spread his remaining salary till 2026

Very true, most players in his position would do the same thing. They'll either stay and collect their money or leave if the club find someone to loan him and share their wage burden.

It's not just with Raphinha, many of our wingers make runs and the midfield doesn't spot it. i guess it happens in other teams too

I wouldn't call this a super performance, he scored a high-quality goal, created one chance for Lewa, pressed well, and had good positioning. Besides that, he didn't complete any dribbles and many of his crosses didn't hit their targets. It's not like our other attackers performed superbly...

All checks apart from the 1V1, he's okay but not super in that.

True, Courtois made many saves in the 2nd half.

He has definitely worked on his finishing, not shooting to the stars again, and now making many runs to get to a shooting position.

His finishing is superb
