Raphina

[WTF11]

Am I the only one who is fed.up to the back teeth reading the constant claims that he has told Leeds who he wants to play for next season? If the stories have ANY truth, and the team he names isn't Leeds, then he can f00k off now and let players who actually want to play for the club help keep us up.

Wait until we hear it from the man himself or Leeds.

Maybe, but take Philips, equally subject of rumour but today comes out and says he's at Leeds until the end of his contract (2024). Ok, so saying and doing aren't always the same thing, but what's stopping Raphina saying the same?

Two different people. One has heart in club and cares.

Got that right, just can't understand how a player with his ability is prepared to switch off, with a likely reduction in his own transfer value, self-destructive (And that's not rumour, we've all seen him head down and no running).

Money and success in that order.

Saw a ridiculous article the other day talking about the 49's and all they are going to do..........if we stay up. LIke beating Arsenal, Chelski and in form Brighton and Brentford are foregone conclusion.

F them. can't help but feel they triggered the coach change. we needed the change but not sure we needed Ted Lasso.

we'll end up selling raph for 25 million (well below market) along with KP and Meslier. some talk some other players want out. we'll end up with Costa and some other has beens. No 49's money and Radz will be stretched tight money wise.

The worst part is that if we ridden the season out with MB and been relegated we might have gotten Carlos who appears to be a super star coach in the making.

I'm not bitter.

All sorts of sh1te been printed about who's going where and for how much but it does feel like we are going to get a dry bumming regarding our golden nuggets when we go down.

Wonder what side we will have in the championship next season..Tyler Roberts starts upfront perhaps perhaps

Can't wait

I guess that's why I asked the question/started the thread. We might be going down, but if we do, I'd rather see a team playing who are, to a man, determined to do everything they can to help us keep a place in the PL. Raphina isn't, his demeanour and silence (unlike Philips) make his presence in the team unacceptable, no matter how gifted and skilled he is. If he isn't going to use the gifts that god gave him in the service of LUFC, then for me he can sit out the rest of the season in the stands, and if by some miracle we preserve our position in the PL he can f00k off somewhere else and we will (hopefully) learn our lessons for the next season

Just wish we get the 50 or 60 million he’s worth. The tough part of this is how bad we are going to get humped on this.
