There would be a huge gap between the valuations of the two players, but doubt many Leeds fans disagreeing with that one.

There will no doubt be many suitors, again, if true, would it be down to the player who decides where he wants to go, maybe PSG this time, maybe liverpool !!
One things for sure, he knows the fans appreciate what he's done at Leeds, but, with Sinisterra, Sommerville, Gnonto, possibly Rutter and still Harrison, is there room for him back !

If he wanted to play for us it would be amazing but I think he has burned his bridges...

Chelsea will get their man and we will feel ripped off as we could have sold him to them for more than we got from Barcelona.

Also the addons we negotiated (£5M) will not be seen..

What’s the deal with him at Barca. He looked pretty good at the WC I thought.

Raph back would be amazing.. If the Niners want to fund that at a touch less then Barca paid. We'd need something for letting them borrow and trial him

In fact they probably still owe us a large amount

Interesting that Emery chirps up that he wants a winger this window.

Please no

Exactly Ian, player power though.

Sky Sports are reporting Arsenal are set to bid for him, if not in this window then in the summer.

Much as I’d hate to see him playing for the opposition at ER, it would be great to see him playing in the flesh again.

Raph isn't going to give up on his dream that easily.

He turned down Arsenal before for Barcelona.

Can't see him changing his mind 12months later.

He made it clear this was his dream move since childhood.

Can’t really work it out. He’s only been there 5 minutes. He hasn’t turned in to a s**t player overnight. Bit of patience needed. He looked pretty good at the WC

Jeez he'd do well with Arteta, he's really looking like the real deal is Arteta, early days i know, but the whole managerial skills seem to be present with him, great to see how he handled that kaffuffle yesterday dragging his players to their end to celebrate hammering Spurs.

I'm absolutely glued to them, i have a v good friend abroad that supports them and i told him pre season they could just do it with some luck with not too many injuries and disruption to his squad, coz he's got just enough cover to win the Prem with a little bit of luck his way.

My mate said not a chance, i can't wait to see him in March.

Ah the old one moment of magic that blinds the fans to all the games he did nothing. Then on the other wing Harrison gets pelted fo near identical stats.

I mean that simply is false.

Harrison in the Premier League had a goal or assist every 223 minutes
Raph was 182.

Raph was in the top 10 of Premier League big chances created both his Premier league seasons, Harrison hasn't been in it once.

Raph was top 10 for overall chances created both seasons.

Harrison isn't in it once.

Raphinha is playing for one of the biggest clubs in Europe and Brazil.

Harrison nearly went to Leicester . . . . .

They aren't comparable.

Take Raphinha's 4 penalties away and who would have the better goal contribution record?
