Even the vilest threat loses all its venom and bite when it's spoken in French.

Deal announced on BBC: https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/54364762

TF for that! Was starting to worry.

Looks like anymore potential transfer business will be domestic only.

Behind the smile and hollow interview words I read the tortured heartbreak of a boy sold like chattle against his will - in fact if you look reeeeally closely you can see the chafe marks of manacles against wrist - and the deadened eyes filled with sorrowful dread at being surrounded by deep fried potatoes and seafood for years on end.

Yes, fellow Leeds fans, we have our man but at what cost? At what cost...

He's quick, tricky & scores goals

His brother is Liverpool's new signing Thiago

Judging from the films, this guy is really good. Zero to top speed in about a step and a half. Tremendous ball skills, excellent passer.

Let's see what our fearless leader can make of him.

Welcome, Raphinha! We're thrilled you're here.

Never heard of him, looks good, sounds good and Bielsa likes him, hopefully a great signing.
