Why are we even considering playing him again where is the moral in that if I was the player I do not want to be with this club, Why would I play now as I'm not interested and his form has shown that?
F Me he would not play for a decent man shows his true character f him off no matter how good he is.
I have a degree of sympathy with Rapha - he is one of the two best players - the coach he looked up to has gone, the chances of us playing in Europe in the next few years and at best slim, the club has supposedly agreed a fee with Barca, we are going to play a thin squad for the foreseeable, he is becoming an international star, Barca has a particular draw for Brazilian flair players and his agent will have been in his ear.
