People who called him a fake Brazilian are now shouting that he is irreplaceable.

He is a fake Brazilian, but Brazil is full of fakes now anyway. A Simeone type of player trough and trough.

Raphinha is Dunga's Brazilian type. Hard working and effective.

The last Brazilian is Neymar and the one that bears the most resemblance is Yamal (a Spaniard).

Yeah, but Dunga was a DM so he gets a pass. Raphinha isn't a silky player or genius. He isn't the kind of guy that gets you over the line in critical moments or a player you build a team around.
But he is the engine of this system and has a winner's mentality.

Vini is definitely a Brazilian type @iniestaGOAT

And Estevao exists. He's pretty Brazilian too.

With him in the team, the entire teams movement Is just that half step better in all phases of the game.

Rashford has been good for us, but I can't think of a winger that can do the things raphinha does.

That being said I would sell him if a crazy offer comes from Saudi

 

[DonAK]

We finally have a direct winger that's rapid and scores a lot of goals and provides a lot of assists. He also presses like a maniac and plays with fire and the belief that we can win every game even if we're down multiple goals.

Tell me who do you replace him with? The Saudis will pay maybe 100-120m for him, but then what?

 

[Temptation]

He has 2 to 3 more years in him at this level. He's extremely reliant on his physical attributes and won't last beyond that.

Only with his consent, if he is willing to leave for some reason

I think it would be very hard to replace him. There are more skilled players but this level of commitment and genuine love for the club we won't find everywhere

U never know.. Ruben kept 95% of his speed at 35 years old. But lot of players indeed get slower.. very relative
