toontownman Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Not convinced about berbatov. Who's ever mentioned getting rid of Mbemba? Don't think anyone wants rid. Just naming players that will likely have suitors and have been linked away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Think Rafa rates Mbemba pretty highly, and no one will offer that much for him which i'm very happy about because he's very talented and has a great future ahead of him, especially under Rafa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Have to admit that I'd love Berba here, even though I highly doubt he'd be very useful for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Theses new signings are Graham Carr. Gayle & Ritchie the goalie, I just don't believe Raffa could have seen enough of Gayle or Ritchie to know anything more than even the average football fan. I'm not saying they are bad signings, we will have to wait and see, but I don't think they're Raffa identified, and I'm still thinking Raffa is not 100% in total control. Time will tell.

SEMTEX Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I don't think it's a given that Rafa hasn't seen them, but Carr is still here for a reason, so I'd agree that there's little chance Rafa is "100%" in control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 In one of the many stories we've read about Rafa one said he has a database of 17,000+ players and a lot of football contacts. He also watches a lot of football. I'm certain he'll know a lot about the players we've signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 No way would rafa be signing players he doesn't know about imo. It's just not him. He joined us with 10 games left of a Season? Before that he had been off managing abroad, what could he have actually seen of either Ritchie or Gayle, Ritchie only recently playing Prem footy, Gayle hardly playing any Prem footy this season. You think he scouted Ritchie in the championship? Behave cause Carr's behind the pair, maybe the scouted evidence is enough though to justify Raffa agreeing they will work in the championship. You can't be that naive. Sorry if that sounds cuntish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comfortably the worst post I've seen on here recently and there's been some competition. You really think Rafa (one f, by the way), hasn't seen two premier league players and a keeper (who has a name *Sels*), play before? This bloke does his homework. He's not Pardew.

Guest reefatoon Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Absolute madness and giving Rafa a huge disservice. He lives, breathes as studies the game constantly, of course he knows who they are of course they are his signings. f***ing hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Rafa has a bigger database of players than EA Sports, these players do not smack of Carr to me. Two are British for a start and the other a 'keeper... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
