It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

Same guy also says Barca have offered us Rafinha as part of the Garcia deal.

I have to say, if we could shift Garcia and Zinchenko and get a left back plus a decent central midfielder, that wouldn't be bad at all.

Rafinha is a good player tbh. He would be the closest profile to David Silva in our side, but...

Rafinha - Injury history

This is the injury history of Rafinha from Al-Arabi SC. On this page injuries as well as suspensions.

Has been unlucky with some, but unless we can get Klopp's medical staff to give him some PEDs like they give their first team, we will likely stay well clear.

That said, I would low-key not mind him.

Translation: Zinchenko could join Barça on loan before end of window.

A tier 1 source, as if they're spot on 100% of the time lol.

I've seen the word 'tier' more times on this thread than I have anywhere else in my entire life.

Rafinha is more injury prone than any of our players. He wouldn’t improve us at all. Even as a squad player

Hes decent when fit but thats the question. IF he stayed fit somehow he would improve our depth.. but its too big of risk.

how has firpo been at Barcelona? We were linked heavily with him before he moved there ?!

This is one of Barça's most reliable journo, Rafinha has indeed been offered to us in exchange for Eric Garcia, sparing the translation.

 

[David Silva]

There is a reason Barca are desperately trying to offload all of these players. We shouldn't be touching any of them with a bargepole. Take the cash and leave it at that.

They want wages off the books. They are financially fucked. Thats why they got rid of Semedo too.

Hes decent when fit, but injury prone obviously.

Hasn't been able to get any gametime because of the starter cartel at Barça, Alba one of them. He also had an ACL injury right when we were interested, same happened to Ghoulam when we were interested, he tore his ACL at Napoli. Firpo is young so obviously has recovered well, and he was great under Setien at Betis as a wingback, but i can't say how his numbers or stats fare, just an eye test. Got plenty of pace. Let's see if we are maybe interested, because he has told Barcelona he will not move unless he sees a project better than theirs. Barça do want him gone.

Rafinha played decent for Celta Vigo last season played 29 games as well

Maybe a possibility then? Looked great at betis but was unlikely to dislodge Alba when he first joined?
