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

The most important thing is the team he plays for...Leeds, relegation strugglers and he still managed to make the Brazilian team consisting of Vinicius of Real Madrid, Rodrygo of Real Madrid, Antony of Ajax, Neymar of PSG...etc this guy is no fluke

Ibukzy:
Gnabry, Diaby, Raphinha but for not more than €50m , and that is even valuing him higher

Leverkusen are quoting at least 100m for Diaby, the reason why clubs are not going there

Ibukzy:
I am not labeling them flops

All I am saying is we are spending way too much above their market value
Look at Chelsea getting Sterling for €45m
But we are buying players inferior to him wayyyy above that amount.

Bro, so you're rating Sterling make season start sha

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.

You see. Plus the fact he's scored 3 goals in 9 appearances and if fit looks likely to be Brazil's first choice winger at the World cup
What some of us are not understanding is that Barça is not Betis or West ham, We have to get good players either homegrown or bought to stay competitive and fight for every trophy available, The club does not have a billionaire owner or consortium backing them financially so how will the money come? Through revenue, Huge revenues either through stadium tickets, sponsorships ,competitions prices, merchandise sales, tv rights and player sales, You're never going to get that with a weak and non-competitive squad

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.

Bruh, Sterling is by far better than Ferran and Raphinha

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.

Ibukzy:
Bruh, Sterling is by far better than Ferran and Raphinha

Even if he's better than them both nko bro
Is he comfortable playing as a RW which we chased Raphinha for?

Naim make Foden dey bench am

Do Raphinha worth over €50m because he play as a RW

Is Ferran or Raphinha better than Sterling as a Forward/winger?

No but if dembele had gone finally, we've have had an experienced RW in place, Chelsea dropped almost £65m for him not euros ooh pounds Sterling, So there was only one choice left for us, Either pay up or walk away, Btw reports are already coming out Barca have already sent €50m fixed for lewandoski, There's something they know we don't know so chill

It was better we walked away,at least that would have given Abde chance to improve on his performance of last season

At least with Lewandoswki we are getting someone capable of starting for the club and giving elite productivity

Yh... there's a feeling the deal will be completed this week.

He arrived Munich alone and left his family in Spain

Can't wait bro
But we desperately need a Solid CB to partner Araujo alongside all these attacking reinforcements, One of Kounde/koulibaly should come to camp nou abeg

Kounde would be the last deal Barca would like to get done. After that, we are set!

Wait ó.. Is it not the same Raphinha I know from leeds. Abi it's another one. He beat dembele in every aspects
Let's drop sentiment. That's bullshit from you.

I would have wholeheartedly supported Barça paying 70+ million for Antony than Raphinha.

Ibukzy:

Nope. Sterling trumps both.

BlaqFaze:

Why shouldn't he rate sterling..

Abi what are you saying.
Let's be frank, Chelsea won big by getting sterling for that amount.
I consider this Raphinha deal a loss for us.

BlaqFaze:

And that's where the Second economic lever comes in

Yet Chelsea is signing him for £45m pound while we are overpaying for inferior players

You didn't even answer my earlier question Bros?
Is Raheem Sterling a RW?

FirstbornWds:

Some of our so-called fans are just unbelievable.

Already started hate on a player we have not even confirmed. Praying and wishing he fails so they can say they were right all along. This is shocking.

I can never wish any Barca player or potential player to fail no matter how I hate them. This is so disgusting. In so far that I havent been impressed with Dembele, if he renews, I will start giving him all my best wishes, because if he does well, it means Barca is doing well.

Some of our so-called fans are no better than trolls. Shekpites trolls. To slander Raphinha just because of his price tag is detestable. Give the lad a freaking chance to show what he can do.

I don't understand the purpose of ur question

Is Right Wingers/Forward more costly that Left Wingers/Forward?

swrz bro... Lewandowski, Raphinha, Kounde dey inside that 200m transfer budget and change go still remain

That's because of the way you've been hammering on this Sterling, Sterling since afternoon when he's neither a RW nor we interested in him
I asked you to name how many Quality RWs you can see right now and you mentioned only Gnabry and moussa diaby, No dey do like those pained Vardridians and shekpites wailing on Twitter especially when the former bought TooMuchMoney for 100m , Raphinha hasn't even kicked a ball yet for us and you want to crucify him cause of Sterling

We neva even talk Sterling salary... Raphinha will collect €6m per year

We no get money buy player, Complaints like rival fans
We see money buy player, Still complaints
How many times will it be stated here that the reason 75m was paid for Raphinha was because we were engulfed in a bidding war with 4 rich PL teams and also partly due to Dembele's greed
I even like him more cause he decided to wait for us when Chelsea paid his fee out of nowhere

This your comment just dey vex me. Kai
How can you consider something a loss when the boy has not even kicked a ball or even confirmed a Barca player? This is how you build up hate for someone without even giving them a chance to fail or succeed.

You're angry just because we overpaid for the player? Would you consider Tchouameni 100m euro signing a loss too for Madrid just because no one knew him last season ?

jpmoriarti:
I can't even believe there would be Barca fans still trying to make a case for Dembele after a frustrating 5 years and the unsavory drama that followed his renewal.

Left for me, I will say we let Dembele go. He didn't boast of a single good moment on pitch for the club after we splashed the cash to get him 5 years ago.

Now, they're trying to drag Raphinha that we haven't even confirmed as Barca player.

Simply shocking!

No one is dragging Raphinha. And please, many of us wanted dembele ungrateful ass gone, including me.

What is painful is the money we're splashing on Raphinha.

70 million+ is a sum for proven world class players.

If Vinicius is bought by city for that amount, who's gonna complain? Few. He's earned that price value, to some extent. Same with mbappe(who's worth more).
Even mahrez may or may not qualify for that price tag. But Raphinha?

Anyway I pray he doesn't flop. I pray...
