Leeds United Chat • Re: Raphinha
Yeah he generally is missing through injury a few times a season, then he does pile on the yellows and get the odd suspension too.I may be on my own here but I actually hope we sell KP, as long as we get a good price for him. Nothing to do with his ability etc but more down to his injury record. He is such an important player for us, as shown by our points per game when he plays compared to when he doesn't, but whilst he is at the club we aren't really in a position to have a player anywhere near as good as him to be his back-up. As such if he goes we will no doubt end up replacing him with a player not as good as him but if the replacement is say 75% as good but plays 5 to 10 more matches a season then we are in a better position than we are now where when KP is out we replace him with a player who is maybe 25% as good as him (and as such tend to lose).
Like Raph I think the money we pick up for him could be very well spent
