Raphinha

[mil1lion]

Barca might struggle to register him until they sell a couple.

Lenglet is gone now but yeah 3 signings now to come in (Kessie, Raphina and Christensen)
I would love to go for Gavi but I'm not sure we could pull that off. I can definitely see the Dutch players sold soon though.

Had to chuckle when this tweet made it onto the BBC Gossip page today.

I’m not getting too excited about this until it’s a Wraph

Seems more like Barca are just trying to sell him to anyone that can afford his wages. They are up shit creek right now and need to sell players off, but we aren't going to bite at that price. Especially as there are probably better players available for that price.

Forbes have clearly forgotten who DL is!

Highly doubt we’d spent that much on Raphinia but he is an absolutely quality player and would seriously upgrade our RW spot, I’d be all for it.

 

[dontcallme]

My view on squad building is we need to get our squad with the strength in depth required before we start spending big. It looks like we'll have CL or EL next season so we'll need several reinforcements to have the depth required.

I think we have depth required in centre back and wing backs and possibly centre midfield depending on how ready the late January signing we made is to play.

If we can get that, then we should start looking to £70m signings.

Sounds like another media fairy tale trying to get Barca some money in to balance their books.

PS Seems like there will be two transfer deadline days in the summer window, first one will be June 30th with a load of clubs like Barca/Chelsea trying to balance their books.

 

[GutBucket]

Creative, he can dribble, score, assist, knows how to press and proven in the league. For the right price he would be great here. Has some injury issues this season but never before really (0 hamstring injuries).

 

[Misfit]

Our interest I can believe. £70M I can't.

 

[Hercules]

There is interest, but that’s it. We have spoken to various on the list, that is a huge one.

Forbes is an absolute rag, I wouldn’t believe them if they reported the sun had risen.

The source isn’t Forbes, it’s a Catalan outlet SPORT - though that might actually be worse…

 

[Spriggan]

Seems like the Catalan outlet is trying to save Barca's blushes after they lost Bergwill to us!

I personally think we need competition at fullback. I'd personally move on Royal if there was a good move for both of us.

I see Udogie and Porro as essentially wing backs, so I agree with you. I like Royal but I think it's time to move on for him and we need full backs/wing backs that fit Ange's system better to compete or be backup for Udogie and Porro.

 

[pedrodelawasp]

I think Raphinha would be a good signing, but not at that price. I can imagine Barcelona would accept a substantially lower offer if their financial condition is as bad as reports say they are.
