Fair question. Probably better in raw numbers I'd imagine. Raphinha's Barcelona career has basically involved looking a bit naff but picking up a few assists and goals even so

(I think my Chris/Edin impression is fading now so I can't be @rsed digging out the stats)

27 yrs old, cost Barca £50m. 14 G+A last season and 8 so far this season from 15 league games. Had two injuries this season as well.

Not sure about him. Someone who is at least 3 years younger would be more ideal.

Didn’t realise he was that old tbf.

Neto is my preferred but he’s a good alternative.

Think Neto is a much better player

Injury history

Season Injury Days

23/24 Hamstring injury 58 days
22/23 Ankle injury 127 days
20/21 Knee injury 297 days
19/20 Muscle injury 3 days

To play at the level he is with the above is great. His passes the eye test and backs it up with stats. 2 goals and 8 assists this season.

Could he handle Ange ball?

Played 14 times this season.

I'm still holding a candle for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (copy and paste blatantly). 22 G+A last season. Dropped off this season with 9 so far from 20 games but Napoli have dropped as well. It could be good for us as his price would have dropped as well.

They only paid €10m for him. Missed 17 days through injury this season. Think he could handle Ange ball.

Think he's too big a name tbh. Reckon he'll go somewhere like Bayern or PSG

I'd say City but they don't need him with Doku and Grealish, Real getting Mbappe, and Barca/Inter/Juve couldn't afford him

Hopefully he has dreams of playing in the Barclays.

Also a phone call from Ange might perk him up.

NICO WILLIAMS!

Signed a new contract last December but only a three year deal which is short...

Read people theorising that it was to help his value when he gets sold in the summer. I think you have to have a release clause in Spain?

thats the Tifo pick

Leao at AC would be a dream too but I dont think we could get him

Nico Williams
Neto
Leao
Olise

Just give me one of them and Im happy

Great list.

I love Olise but his injury record is getting ridiculous now

I don't get the fuss about a winger unless we don't take Werner. 4 for 2 positions seems pretty healthy with Son nailed on to start

I remain to be convinced Werner is anywhere near good enough unfortunately

Think I’ve just banned Edin from the transfer thread, deleted a comment by mistake.

have the numbers but way off the quality especially of the level of those teams above us

dont rate Son out wide these days

Try and post and let me know and I’ll tell Adnin.

Fair points tbf. Aside from City and Salah I don't see that we're far behind tho really. Maybe Son starts as a striker more and swap Werner for someone that can unlock a defence.. ok I'm on the bandwagon

does seem to be a lot of focus on the forward line when we are scoring plenty

need to sure up the midfield with a bit more control and cover down the channels. hopefully Bissouma can come back in form
