Raphinha

[A_G]

Yeah, so that's basically Deco feeding journos and saying "hurry up, Barça"

Clearly because everyone knows Laporta reads the Daily Mirror.

I mean, didn't a guy from Spain with a rating report it as well?

 

[drippin]

Pretty surprised with this one since you have saka. Or is saka switching to left? Or saka is joining man city?

Pepe replacement, and I think either Raphinha or Saka can play on the LW too.

Raphinha waiting for barca but these guys can't pay half the asking price so what the point of waiting.

Also 60M is too much money i don't understand these valuations anymore.

So determined to make this work

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Leeds won't wait until August to sell Raphinha if we willing to give them 50m. Raphinha also need to get clear message from barca hopefully these days.

Raphinha wouldn’t want to come to arsenal to sit on Pepe’s bench.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Let’s just hope that Frenkie De Jong to Man Utd deal drags on.

Barca just need to stay in their lane and get some Spanish b*m from Segunda or promote one of their 16 year olds from La Masia.

Saka needs a lot more rest than he has had, plus we are now in UEL.

Raphinha can also get past Martinelli & ESR on the left, or Saka there.

Probably better get that right footed if the purpose is to play on the left.

He's a 60 mil player. His age, his position, his numbers, borderline Brazilian international, Prem ready, length of contract, that's the way it goes.

We'd have to sign from ligue 1 or his homeland to pay half or less and you know how that's gonna go.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Media do love putting Sp**s name is whatever player we chasing. Jesus raphinha and Tielemans surprised the media not put thier name in Martinez chase.

It's common sense for him not to come here, but it's Arteta's world which means he's coming even if it doesn't make the most sense.

Yeah that right but valuation does look gone so crazy lately even Richarlison who Everton in deep financial crisis asking 60m or more.

Raphinha has okay right foot.

Where are you getting that Raphinha would be coming to bench here?

We need more experienced quality. ESR and Martinelli are both promising, but inconsistent. So they will likely play more cup games and come from the bench.

Why do you think we are rumoured so much to Raphinha if we don't see him a good option? Are you trying to enforce the idea that the club will sell Saka with 2 years left in contract, and not try to get to UCL to extend him?

If you're on the right side of 25 and a known international attacking player in a top 3 league that's more or less market price..

That's why Jesus is such a coup, if he had 2 or 3 years remaining off the back of another prem title he wouldn't have been worth it.

You are the one who said Raphinha to replace Pepe aka your bench warmer and you mentioned saka needs a rest as you have EL.

Raphinha will replace Pepe in the squad, both are left footed wingers, but Raphinha is more capable of playing on the LW too. How hard is this to understand?

Arteta hasn't rated Pepe and that's the only reason why he has played so little. He has had to play Saka all the time, more than is wise and it has affected his consistency in performances later in the season.

Raphinha is more proven than ESR and Martinelli, so he won't come here to "bench". Anyone should realize that even as an idea, for a player of his quality.
