For someone that stopped playing after heart complications he had an amazing half season with Brentford (of all teams) and was involved in nearly all their goals.

WilliamPS Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 it would be a massive coup to get him - also feels unlikely as he walks into most CL teams and at his age he may not want to sign up to a longer term project. but if he can be brought in suddenly looking at challenging for 5th instead of 7th (which sounds minor until you look at the difference in points that requires) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Raphinha vs Diaby (last season) / Diaby was deadly last season; 13 goals and 12 assists beats Raphinha's 11 and 3 comfortably / Diaby scored those 13 from far fewer shots than Raphinha (53/85). This could be to do with the latter's efforts mostly coming from outside the box, unlike the former. / Diaby is a far more accurate passer, completing 74.6% compared to Raphinha's 63.8%. / Where Diaby's chance creation typically comes from in-game passes, Raphinha likes to create from dribbles. He also takes far more set pieces. / Raphinha is easily more comfortable with defensive actions; tackles are 54-19 and blocks are 59-12. He also has a lot more touches in that opposition penalty area (48-6). / Raphinha is competent in the air (40.3% of duels won), but it's not really Diaby's game (26.3%). Summary: Diaby is an out-and-out attacker with the returns to match, whereas Raphinha is a more traditional winger but who likes a dig from range.

SUPERTOON Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I’d go for Raphinia over Diaby, but what a conversation to be having as opposed to the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Is the Diaby rumour a non-starter? Thought we were quoted something silly like £50m-£60m plus the notion he has no interest in joining us?

PlymouthGeordie Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Given Barca, Arsenal and Spurs are in for Raphina it is likely a non starter. A front 3 of ASM, Wilson and Raphina would be some forward line though. Edited June 27, 2022 by PlymouthGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Not sure if we'll get him anyway but bit worried about those stats on him not doing defensive work. Already have that issue with ASM on other side not sure can deal with another on other side would impact any high press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calsk9 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Both Diaby & Raphina are going to cost North of 60 mil. Would take both in a heartbeat and that area is the most important to fill with quality, but can't see either of them coming, especially with the others that are in for them and they will be starters at those clubs. Any other players of interest who are of the like? Asensio has been mentioned, T Hazard too, rodrygo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Richarlison off to Chelsea by the sounds of it, was never sure about him and his attitude. I'd certainly have Raphina here though, I don't like his over the top play acting and all that stuff (similar to Richarlison) but I actually think he has more footballing ability.

gbandit Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 He might scowl a lot and spend a ton of time rolling about but his attitude on the pitch is excellent, he gives a lot for his team and was one of their very few good players from last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
