Raphinha

[Batman]

Worth mentioning that Saka played 20 plus games on the left side in his break through season. Could he played predominantly on the right this season because Pepe simply wasn't trusted.

Personally i don't see it as a problem. Having quality players is a good thing not a bad thing.

For me, he's equally effective on both flanks. Maybe there's a bit more goal output with him cutting in onto his strong foot from the right but he probably gets a few more assists whipping the ball in from the left. I think the overall goal contributions end up working out about even and it's not like Raphinha and Jesus haven't also each occupied every position in a 3 at times. What I think this signing would do is make it much much harder to key on in Saka like teams were doing in the 2nd half of the season because it would be a truly fluid front 3 that would force a team to upset its defensive structure to follow him around since any of the 3 could occupy any of the forward positions at a given time.

Love watching him play so really hope we get him. I felt sure someone someone like Liverpool would nab him so it would be a really pleasant surprise if we got this done. Him and Saka constantly switching wings would be great to watch.

Would be a great signing, but the reality of it is...

We are either being used by his agent to get a better deal elsewhere, or we somehow do sign him but Arteta makes him crap.

No point getting excited about this, time to lock.

Good jinx. You should have said he should join Sp**s

Now all we need on top of this confirmation... is Saka to sign an extension.

Plus, it just came to me now...Sp**s would be a better fit for him too.

Those figures being talked about Barca can’t get near though and I’m glad we are pushing this making Leeds and the player make a decision

Another Brazilian coming to The Carpet, nice!

Arsenal's starting line-up next season be looking like...

At least Raime junior has a career in the film industry with Raime Senior to fall back on when it all goes to **** for him in football

Conte never liked Brazilians tbh. That should make him wary

Twitter admin won't announce Vieira yet as they want to relaunch #madness with 3 announcements at once

How do you know so much about what Raphinha wants?

And why are you not on Redcafe, sharing your "wisdom" there?

My last post before Friday was on 10th June as I was on red cafe all week. But @A__G tagged me on Friday, as like he tried to tell me that he wanted me to come back here and be more involved in the arsenal mania community.

I tagged you in the United thread, not in the transfer section.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time believing this. It's quite an outlay if Vieira, Jesus and Martinez are true, and I think they are. Have a feeling this is just Raphinha's camp trying to wake up Barca.

But maybe Edu heard there was an opportunity here and jumped on it. If he comes in seriously, maybe Raphinha just loses patience with Barca.

Does it matter?

Yes, I wasn’t inviting you to a discussion about Arsenal I was trolling you about United.

But I’m only here for football discussion though, I’m a grown man, I don’t like troll.

Martinez, Tielemans, Gabriel Jesus and Raphinha all in the same window? Arteta is voodoo master

Barca can’t even sign lewandowski and they are desperate to sell de Jong to United. For once I hood United show some sense and don’t overpay
