Useless player that will soon be owed salary. I will come here to laugh when he flops.

Cannot be worse than Lakaka, can he?

brandon180:
I wish Laporta and co would just hijack this koulibaly to Chelsea deal..

Exactly what I was thinking. Then we add Kounde to the mix ( Nah, I know this is funny and outrightly wrong economically) but abeg, e go too hurt Chelsea ego. Lol.

1998-2012 was the best time that elite players had their best seasons, all playing to their bests.


Do you think the current crop of players can measure up?

WhoDeyHause:
You are happy over a very useless player when others are announcing haaland and Sterling. Loan that you collected you are already wasting it on flops that escape relegation by luck. Your dead club will soon stop existing. .

You are shameless. Your team gulped in money first but got chased away and yet, you still don't have shame.

Here we go!!!


WhoDeyHause... Now comman die

BlueMann:
Who is our best player?

You know that!!!

WhoDeyHause:
Where is the raphina your dead club signed? I want to know what he will do when your broke club of poverty is being disgraced by Leeds for deceiving them.
Broke ass club.

Well, after then.. We'll come for the only valuable player on your team and guess what, we'll pay in 10 installments across 15 years.


Funny enough, your best player would push for the move because he'll want to play for the CLUB OF HIS DREAMS



WHEN YOU ARE BIG, YOU ARE BIG

WhoDeyHause:
Barcelona: “wait for just a minute I’ll pay, I have the money”

Leeds: “well where is the money”

Barca: “ look at me , do I look like I don’t have the money”
Dead club.

Holy Booly has begged you guys to a big win signing.

WhoDeyHause:
Where will your dead club see 75 million to pay for player? Go and pay your debts and salary you are owing first
Dead club.

Barcelona HIJACKING Raphina must have pained you to the bones and now your tears are like the ocean.

If you are not careful, we might counter a bid for sterling and leave him to rot anywhere. We are poor but bigger than anything Chelshit.

This would have been sweeter if it were Abrahimovic on the wheels. It'd look like a contest to an extent, but this BOLE SHOPON that doesn't know his left from right!


See wetin your club day sign... Chai

jpmoriarti:
I love the part where it read that he participated in 36 league games out of 38 games just last season.

36 league games is what Dembele achieves in 3 years for us.

And he calls himself an elite footballer.

That's exactly what some of us don't see. This guy will get roasted so badly if he manages to have a poor match at the rarest and I cannot begin to imagine whose hate would be worse between Ferran and Raphina.

Kilishihunter:
Jp has already said it. Dembele signed just a two year deal which might most likely not be renewed, Is it that time we'll start looking for money to buy another RW when the market is more inflated than now? The fee brings back bartomeu memories according to some of our fanbase but let's not forget
1. The fee is not crossing 100m like the other flops including dembele (only this season will not excuse me from tackling him for not living up to his big money move) plus he's glass like you stated
2. He is not going to earn those nonsense astronomical salaries that we formerly dashed out like mugus, 230-250k weekly I think
3. Some players are definitely going to be moved, Trincao has left, Rey Manaj has gone, Lenglet off on loan, Umtiti, Puig, braithwaite, pjanic et al might follow suit
4. Looking at the situation of things we are even going to definitely overpay for lewandoski, so this Raphinha own na smalls
Calma guys, Laporta is freakin gambling and putting his balls on the loan for the club's future with this actions

I'm not even angry at the money spent. I know these things are mostly to re-anoounce to the world that we are back to our prowess and can wrestle out any player we want with anybody and not be hindered. It's a strategy and I love the gamble that Alemany and Laporta are putting up with.

Ibukzy:
As you can see here Dembele goal creation is in the 90% percentile , don't know where you are seeing the Stat of 34%

His chances of scoring is what I rated, Raphina was ranked 84 for chances creation for Leeds... So compare and contrast.

Kilishihunter:
Raphinha created 50+ chances last season but he's supposed to make a shit Leeds team who escaped relegation on the final day and missed their best striker Bamford for so long to pull Magic numbers, His fee is too much but he's not average, Reason why half of the PL's top 6 clubs were chasing him

Nah, they don't see that. They'd rather make comparisons with a glass feet player that showed flashes last season.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Raphinha didn't win sh!T. Stuart Dallas won the best player award in 2021. Diaz went for 40m with 20m in add-ons.

Leeds United narrowly escaped relegation by one point. I don't see any 25yr old attacker playing 4 Alaves, Cadiz, Granada or Levante who scored just abt 6/7 goals apart 4rm penalties & 3assist that will make barca or madrid to throway 75m 4 his signature.

Raphina was Leeds United player of the season last season

@Ibukzy


Set pieces that not one person could score in the whole of Barcelona throughout last season.

Raphina's chances of producing a goal that same last season is rated 84% percentile compared to Dembele's 34. Goals are what we are seeking and we need attackers that can score when the going gets rough for our number 9s and not balloon the ball with reckless abandon when he manages to stay fit.


Both are not guaranteed a start than the other, and that I am sure of.

Ibukzy:
So with this ur stat who has a higher goal and assist ratio

Go back and read completely. I mistakenly hit the enter button before I published that.

Ibukzy:
In this chart you can see that Raphinha is average in all the attribute that would qualify him as a World class winger

While Dembouz is hitting high percentile in every attribute that qualify a world class winger except Goal Scoring which might be due to him having a bad season scoring wise (Heck, even Messi was poor at Goal scoring last season )
Dembele scored 11 goals in 20/21 and had the same amount of goals Raphinha scored in the League

Even the last season Raphinha only score 7 goals apart from penalties, which is just pure Average for a €72m player, so I don't understand ur hype on his goal Scoring as he is not even great at it

Dembele has played 212 games for both country and club, totaling 12722 minutes in which he has been able to score 47 goals and provide 53 assists in total.

Raphina on the other hand, has been able to play 199 games, averaging 14751 minutes where he has scored 49 goals and provided 29 assists.

Now, if you compare the leveler of players that both has played with, you'd see that Raphina has been less fortunate overall but could still closely average what Demboiz has been all about..

So, how on earth is he overly better than the Brazilian winger overly.

More so, we can trust one to stay fit and play the whole season but the same cannot be said for the piece of glass that Dembele has been over the years.

So unless the narratives change, you can't in any way conclude that Barca made a worse buy in Raphina than the 130m feeble legs that we signed from Dortmund.

Kilishihunter:
Na your trick?
If you guys didn't drive out of nowhere to inflate his price, Small Leeds wouldn't be using us to form militant, Well it is what it is

You day answer person way him team carry 100m go buy Oily Lakaka Elephant.

You sef

Ibukzy:
don't worry by the end of the season you would join me in begging clubs to sign him for free

Lol. I'll be here to counter you when you gobble up fake stats to prove him worse like you did this concluded season.

Ibukzy:
Whenever Dembele is fit , Raphinha can never bench him

This again is another huge misconception, Dembele fit or not isn't a thoroughly better player than Raphina. C'mon. Don't allow the last season's wonder of Dembele to fool you, he hasn't proven anything yet. He still has a lot to do to get to that world-class rating that we are classifying him to be among right now. Raphina is a better goalscorer, and shooter and more confidence in the final third than Dembele is, or ever was.

I don't get the hype honestly. This guy is good but not so good. I'd rather have a player that can combine a simple pass, cross, or dribble into the box to decimate defenses than one that relies on only cross and nod football.

joviegghead:
Are you saying he's better than dembele?

Let's get one thing straight:
Dembele is finally finding his rhythm in Barça. It started with koeman gradually and now with xavi, he's turning to a beast.

This is someone who turned boos into applause more than once at the camp nou. Shows you how special he is.

Dembele creates more goals. He was more of a creator last season and I'm sure with good guidance, he'll improve. I can't say same with Raphinha. Dembele has proven to be 'quality' enough.. Let that sink in.

That last part of your statement is an exagerration... Dembele beats Raphinha in all aspects of footballing abilities for attackers/footballers.

This is the exaggeration in the statement you made. He doesn't beat Raphina hands down in ANY aspect. Raphina is a better inverted winger than Dembele whose strongest attribute is crossing into the box and Insha Allah. Raphina doesn't always have to cross.

Talk about speed, taking on defenders and et cetera, Dembele has a little bit of an edge and that majorly because we've watched him more... There's a reason Raphina makes the Brazilian national team and is more of a starter than Ajax's Antony in recent times, despite playing for a lesser team like LEEDS.

Now, talk about shooting well and not hesitant on which feet to use, Raphina is god over Dembele in that aspect.

More so, staying fit is another criterion for measuring an elite footballer, and Dembele is way down in that pecking order.

Don't come to sell Dembele like we've not seen the stuff he's made of and how shattered he can switch to, within split minutes.

Ibukzy:
Make dem send this boy go Granada on loan

He'll play for Barca first team, and there's nothing you can do about it!!

Eric looks ripped and more mature. I almost couldn't recognize him.

Ibukzy:
Signing Raphinha for that amount is a bad decision and calamity waiting to happen
We are suffering financially and still signing a bench player for over €70m

I don't just understand this club Management

What guarantees you that Raphina would be a bench player? Cos of Dembele? Lol.

Premier League will never reach this level!!

Kilishihunter:
Folks who called us broke must know how "broke" we really are
Visca El Barça

A real case of when you are big, you are big!!

joviegghead:
Our 2nd all-time goal scorer is who you're comparing to eto'o.

This disrespect is just too much. Y'all bring UCL as if it's the only competition in football. Ffs, judge both players all round.. Suarez is way better.

Suarez singlehandedly guided Liverpool to compete for things in England. Suarez at barca should have been top 3 in Ballon dor ranking. Popularity got CR7 there that year.

The level of disrespect is massive. Suarez to Eto is a big slap to football, Barcelona football espcaully.

Somebody is roasting Ansu Fati on Twitter space.
