Love Rafael

I've seen quite a bit of slagging-off for Rafael recently so I thought it time I gave my support.

I think he's been one of our best players this season, he's been defending well and providing good width on the right; linking up well with others and providing some assists. He's often the one providing the last gasp header just as you thinks it's going to fall onto a striker's head at the far post.

He gets noticed for being hot-headed and sometimes rash but if he were a beloved household name they'd be saying he showed commitment and passion. (hate that word).

So there you go, it's out there, I'm loving his work!

Cracking player, Zabaleta is better though.

Rafael should be the second name on the team sheet

He is brilliant, even when we lost to lpool despite his handball I felt he was our best player. I know that is not saying much. But he seems very easy target for the media and 4ktard pundits.

A new right back is essential this summer. Not to replace Rafael, who I do want to stick with, but as cover for him. His injuries have made it a massive problem area for us this season.

Not necessarily, Vermijl is on loan at NEC and doing fairly well. Would be good cover and probably be happy on the bench for the most part.
Although this is an issue:

Tough choice.................

Think TRS said he had just signed a new 3 year contract with us too

OP

Rafael should be our RB for a decade hopefully if he can get over the constant niggles that seem to plague a few of our players

P.s. If that's true about him and Moyes, it's absolutely ridiculous and we should get shot. I'm no Moyes fan, but refusing to play under him? We don't need players like that.

Who and Moyes?

I just clicked the link and read the article

Some quotes from his agent there that imply he's off in the Summer by the look of it.

Doen't look like he signed a new contract so I think it might have been another player that TRS said had extended

----------------------------

really?

I have seen far too many ignoramii actually fawn over such an inept defender. that's the real issue that needs addressing.

nothing on these forums for the mildly silly really surprises me however.

Seems that rumour control has it on the radar that Moyes can see right through him. If he does, then he will move up in my estimation from being a capable MUFC manager to a very insightful one.

All he needs to do now is get rid of Coco De Gea and he will become godlike to me.
