11 - Raphinha

If we sell the player with most end product per minutes played this season in the squad we might as well proclaim 2nd place as the objective next season.

There are 3 players that should be sold for good money ahead of him if we want to take this option. Araujo, Kounde, and De Jong.

He did step up his game and has been our best winger these last games but for 100m I'll take him myself to the airport.

He is exactly the type of player we should be having in the team during the rebuilding phase. Has the hunger.

He us great concidering rest of squad.

We have a lot of worse players that we need to get rid.

Ferret, Lewa, Pedri, De Jong, Ter Stegen as our starters offer much less then him.

Agree he and Lamal are our best options on the wing and selling him and keeping Ferran makes no sense. I like the idea of signing Nico and even then I would keep Raphinha so that we can manage Yamal's minutes better, the kid is playing to much imo.

I think Xavi can get more out of Raphinha tbh. He should be playing 90 mins almost every game he's available. I can understand his frustration with subs involving him in moments during the game were he's very active and involved in the game.

Rafa beingnsubbed often, is all down to Lewa being undropable. it seems to have changed in the final games though.
We also need someone else on the left so rafa can play right so the teenager doesn't get burnt out. Someone not called felix or ferran.

He isn’t a teen he’s closer to retirement than a teenager

Not really, because nobody else in the squad can play the 9 position except Roque, whom the manager doesn't rate as good enough at the moment. Subbing Lamine more often and keeping Raphinha should be done though. Basically the sub at PSG away should have been done far more often in the league as well.

Raphinha is operating at one goal or assist per less than 90 mins played or something. You don't sub a player with so much direct impact on the game as often as Xavi does, so I can understand Raphinha's frustration.
