Two reasons Blues fans should be pleased to miss out on Raphinha – Talk Chelsea

I wish to begin by saying that if Chelsea signed Raphinha and he joined us this summer time, I’d be OK with that. I charge him as a participant, and naturally I’d have been happy if a top-quality participant joins our membership.

Nonetheless, I’ve additionally remained vocal in the truth that I didn’t wish to signal him the second it turned clear that he doesn’t solely have a dream to play for Barcelona, like a number of gamers do, he was/is actually determined to play for them and can just about do something to. So, that’s motive one which I’m happy that we didn’t signal him.

So as to add to this additional, if he DID find yourself becoming a member of Chelsea, you may virtually assure that in a single or two seasons time, he shall be placing in a switch request to affix Barcelona as soon as that they had raided one other piggy financial institution or shook one other cash tree, that solely appears to develop in Barcelona by the best way… Odd that.

I’m not silly sufficient to imagine that each participant ought to need Chelsea as their first selection, however I a minimum of need them to not be so overtly determined to affix one other membership over us and simply accept us as a backup choice.

The second motive is the price being quoted. £63m for Raphinha? Sure, he’s good, however he definitely isn’t that good. I’d have been dissatisfied if we spent that a lot on him, so another excuse to be happy.

This would possibly sound like a bitter article from an upset Blues fan, however all anybody has to do it scroll my tweets of current weeks and also you’ll see that I’m genuinely happy that Raphinha doesn’t appear like he’ll find yourself at our membership. Personally, I’d like them to a minimum of actually wish to come to Chelsea, and I’d very a lot need them to decide to the 5-year contract a minimum of that they’ll be getting. Raphinha wouldn’t.
