Not bad.

Interesting to see how he goes. Wanted him before he went to Fulham, which given they were doomed for relegation looks to have been a bad move that’s stunted his career somewhat.

Hope he does well

InB4 “Barcelona can’t register Raphinha” reports.

They’ve probably already asked him to defer some salary.

 

[joop]

Reports that Barca still owe some players tens of millions and that they haven’t fully repaid Pool for Coutinho, yet his manager still advised Barca ahead of Chelsea

Kinda feel like we just tell him to go to Chelsea or he sticks around for another 6/12 months when Barca can afford him.

Be a fair drop in value in 12 months. Some say wait til Jan window but is it worth it to have up until mid Nov. If he and Barca know he’s taking off in Jan he won’t play after WC

Wonder how Chelsea feel about Raphinha given he isn't their first choice?

TBH it doesn't bother me. I dont expect us to be a players first choice over teams like Barca, Real, Bayern etc. We've signed heaps of players who we weren't first choice for.

Hes a good footballer and I'm sure he'd give his all for us so I hope Leeds hold their nerve. I think he'll end up at Barca anyway.

Is it still considered “Spursy” if a player looks absolutely thrilled to be moving to Spurs from Barcelona?

I think he is just happy to either have his wages paid on time or not have to wait 3 years to be paid one years salary.

Buying a player you previously sold works well...

Knocking back £20m for a guy in final year of contract? Risky

They’ll sell him in January once they’re out of playoff contention.
