11 - Raphinha

[Devils]

Even with careful planning of finances, we managed to splash 120m on Torres and this guy.

Barca really is a special club.

Xavi’s recruitment program.

This guy is so bad. If you took all of Di Maria’s skill and athleticism away, you would end up with this bum.

This guy and Torres are just atrocious.

Can anyone even say these two are upgrades over players like Munir or Cristian Tello who cost this club nothing in transfer fees? I don’t think you can.

How did he end up at Barca? werent there any other moderately young wingers who are not fast, can't dribble, can't score, can't pass and can only cross, for free? Did we have to pay for all that?

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

as a sub player useful, like last season for Dembouz but not the guy for starting a match

better than Antony though 🐿️

He would've had a low buyout clause had Leeds been relegated (think 30m). There was interest from our side during the period that Leeds were fighting to stay up. Very much thanks to Raphinha they stayed up.

For 30m he wouldn't have been bad. But for 60m you expect starter quality. Shame none of Ferran and Raphinha worked out for a total of 120m. Now we still need a LW and RW.

They're actually not many great rw anymore. And yeah, I prefer him to Anthony even though both aren't good enough

didnt you guys pays billions for tons of duds?

Yeah, but we got bailed out by La Masia golden generation. We had the core from the academy so we could buy bums without affecting the squad that much.

Ask Deco who played actively in that transfer back then.

Happy birthday big homie

Xavi needs to stop subbing him while he works like a mad man and gets into shooting positions. It's maddening. Guy almost scores and 2 mins after he is subbed. I just don't understand it.

OK, he missed a big chance because his shot was shit. But he still knows how to work the spaces and get into those positions. Don't fucking sub him, give him the full game to figure it out.

 

[Haraldinho]

Raphina sounds like piranha if you mix a bit the letters. Yes a piranha who can't bite.

I think he's not a real piranha because of the extra 'h' in his name.

 

[Horatio]

yeah the superfluous -h ruined everything. We otherwise wouldve had wc player on our hands.

 

[JohnN]

why not sub him? he didn't miss one chance. he lost many vlear cut chances with missed controls and bad passing. he presses well. perhaps a way to keep him in is to replace pedri with him and slot yamal on the right uf we need a goal. yamal even if too raw and too young creates 2-3 really good chances per game. raphinia doesn't

 

[te amo barca]

Worst winger I've ever seen play for Barca
