Just wondering if raphinia is not playing well due to the 25m clause in his contract that he can get transfered for if we go down, although it does not seem likely that he is doing it on purpose you got to ask yourself why would it be put in his contract he obviously did not object to it been put in the contract did he ?
It works in both way's Sniffer imo. If you play well, you can attract the attention of top clubs, but if you play badly, it could be said that you're unhappy at the club. If and when Raph's departs ER, his suitors have already made themselves known. Also, most sports stars have an underlying desire to win. Their competitive nature alone should kick in.
The effort from Raphinha was outstanding yesterday. It was a big match, watched all around the world and he obviously wanted to showcase his talents...make of that what you will.
True but if your wanting to leave a club and offers coming in are not going to be 75m but we'll below it then you won't be able to leave and not get them big wages and win trophies that you will if say man city or liverpool come in for you , but if your team gets relegated and you are then on the market for 25m plenty of clubs are going to come knocking , it makes you wonder why put this in a contract , when as owners you could demand that if leeds are relegated raphinha would get his release clause renegotiated at that time , if we got relegated then we would of been able to get a higher fee when selling him as 25m is nowhere near his worth.
Did he score like he did last season ? Leaving it upto useless Rodrigo bought as a striker then we are going to end up with zero goals as we did , why not have James on the wing and raphinha inside of James, then raphinha will get more chances in front of goal instead of Rodrigo receiving it and fluffing it , with Dallas now out injured for possibly rest of season , Rodrigo I know he is nowhere near Dallas Talent could move into his place giving raphinha more space in front of goal , joffy could also team up with raphinha then , with James and Harrison on the wings. The reason raphinia should be more of a striker role is because he would not fluff it like Rodrigo does , we have nothing to lose in trying raphinha as a striker.
Put raphinha as a striker he will then showcase his talents instead of him giving the ball to useless rodrigo
Leeds will be aware that his contract is winding down, and 60-70m is peanuts these days for a player of his talents
