It’s because 90% of this fan base ain’t got a clue about what this team needs. They would rather a flashy trickster that completes 9 dribbles but gets 0 goal contributions.
The facts about Raphinha are he has a great cross and is great at switching play. He’s the hardest working winger in the top 5 leagues I don’t think that’s debateable to be honest. He has been one of our main goal/assist contributors since joining the team especially in a lot of important games where he made the difference. And on top of all that he only cost 50mil not the ridiculous 150mil we paid for dembele/coutinho/griezman who achieved absolutely nothing with Barca.
The truth is this fan base doesn’t deserve a player with a work ethic like Raphinha, they will learn when we bring in a flashy dribbler like dembele again who contributes absolutely zero outside of his tricks.
Thank god we watch football with eyes
And what has that brought us? I like Raphinha and his passion but he is not a fit for us. We either change our philosophy or we sell him. A barca winger that cant best his man on a 1 vs 1 is useless to our style of play.
