Gutted for Raphinha!
And gutted for Leeds Utd missing out on a considerable Uefa CL Barcelona add on of millions of Euros.

For me Raphinha is on par with Eric Cantona as the two best modern day players to play for Leeds.
However speculation over how much Leeds Utd would receive in bonuses clauses, if those clauses even exist at all, is completely unknown. There is no factual information on these details if they exist or not.
What is factual is that if Raphinha is sold for example to Saudi (very unlikely) then Leeds Utd would receive nothing.

Cantona was good but both Kewell amd Viduka had just as much talent IMO and definitely demonstrated it far more for Super Leeds .
AIMO of course.
07 May 2025 06:59:27
And Yeboah scored spectacular goals of every kind . that Cantona could only dream of!

For once I agree with Baz. Kewell was the best "modern" player I have seen playing for Leeds. (Nearly, for me, as good as Eddie Gray)
07 May 2025 07:00:57
Agree about viduka but not sure about kwelle, talented but never quite backed it up
For me our best modern day player has to be rio, that World Cup leeds had the best defender maybe best player on the planet and not often that can be said. Gary Mac also up there for me and of course sir John lukic but it’s not fair to compare other men to a god.

I also loved Dukes, and he was a great player for us. Kewell not fit to to lace his boots, and dukes not in the same league as Eric, I'm afraid. This tho, all just my opinion too.
07 May 2025 08:38:55
That amount of cash would have come in very handy.
07 May 2025 10:25:07
Feath or anyone else, if you can find any "official" Leeds Utd info on add on clauses for Raphinha I’d be interested to know, i'm not being flippant just can’t find anything that actually states that.
07 May 2025 10:35:05
Reporting we misssed out on 10 mill Barcelona not winning cl.
07 May 2025 10:38:58
Kewel as good as cantona and raph. Vids not in same standing. McAllister a good shout.
07 May 2025 11:31:25
Gary Mac and Yeboah for me. Imagine if we could find two gems on a par with those two this summer - would transform us. The smoothness of Gary Mac in the middle of the park, and the outrageous finishing of Yeboah - yes please:)

Ani; agreed re Kewell close to Eddie Gray
BB ; utterly laughable re your dismissal of uber talented Kewell.
07 May 2025 14:41:01
One of my astounded moments was becks selling for 50 and kewell for 5. Outrageous. Kewell maybe not as good as becks but on his day very close indeed.
07 May 2025 17:28:37
Insult to Eddie that, I'm afraid!
07 May 2025 18:14:33
Regardless of what he did on the pitch, as far as the Leeds fans are concerned Kewel will always be despised due to him joining Galatasaray, the murders of two of our fans was still very fresh when he joined even if it was after Liverpool, his legacy will always be tarnished.
08 May 2025 08:01:00
Don't forget the way he stitched up the club who gave him his career, forcing his move to Liverpool, OP!
08 May 2025 10:59:24
I personally don’t care he went to Liverpool things like that never bother me, it’s the fact he was useless there that makes me laughing gb at the Eddie grey comment.
08 May 2025 17:16:13
It was the fine detail of the deal that grates Bermo, bud. The club got next to nowt at a time when every penny was crucial, while he and his agent shared a sum in the region of 7m squiddlies!
08 May 2025 22:22:45
Yes I don’t forget that detail Bright, it just didn’t feel right in any way, felt like he was having a big dump on the club when things were getting bad for us.
On a playing side it was said by some pro’s at the time, including Michael Ballack that he lacked consistency, that plus his injuries which I believe curbed a fair amount of his playing time at Liverpool.
