You can't play Raph at RW, he plays on LW. And he was injured often, because he played almost 4700 minutes last season. Not 3000 like Anthony Gordon.

The difference is Newcastle have the buying power of 3-4 Raphinha level players, while we usually end up with just one.

Barca have better depth at both left and right wing than Newcastle.

Depth includes starters and yes Barca would most likely play Raph RW if Yamal was out and put Rash LW.

Yet they dont have better wide players than Barca as a whole.

Their best is Anthony Gordon.. by far and he wouldnt start for Barca.

Newcastle spending big on likes of Elanga, Wissa, Woltemade and Barnes is not them getting players even close to Barca starters.

No, they don't. That's up to their SD and politics.

 

[Windhook]

But the thing is the disbalance in our squad. You have somebody elite and then a Barca B quality as replacement. Squad depth.

More to do with who they can attract.

And this led to overplaying the main players. And seasons aren't just reset. 4700 minutes played last season is gonna be felt next season. Playing 20 more games than a normal EPL winger does is gonna be felt in your legs.

Depth includes starters.

What area do Newcastle have more depth than Barca?

Lies again.

No one has been overplayed bar could argue Yamal.

 

[DonAK]

Players don't want to go to Newcastle.

Could you imagine what we could do with those funds though.....damn.

50% chance we burn it on shit players and end up in a sorry situation though.

Depth includes starters.

You tell me, since you know better. How much of Newcastle's squad is academy/Saudi money?

What relevance does that have to anything being discussed?

Anyone claiming Newcastle has better squad can attempt to back that up if they like.

We're talking depth.

 

[JamDav1982]

We're talking depth.

Indeed.

Barca has better depth and depth includes quality of starters.
