Needs a Picture!!![edit]

Rafaels profile needs a pictureee would look real good, he is a real hot prospect!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkman1 (talk • contribs) 17:12, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree as many other wonderkids around have a picture such as Manco, Sulejmani etc. I also think that if rafael has one then Possebon needs one Spiderone (talk) 10:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You people need to understand that we can't just use any photo on this page. Any images used on Wikipedia have to be free, or at least covered by a Fair Use rationale. Unfortunately we don't have any free images of Rafael available to us, so that's why there isn't one on this page at this time. – Pee Jay 10:47, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's true but if someone was to take a picture of him themselves or if someone had permission to upload a photo then it would be appreciated, why can't the pictures off the Man United website be used?Spiderone (talk) 12:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because the pictures on the Man Utd website are not free. – Pee Jay 13:06, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter, he's got one now Spiderone (talk) 16:16, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lyon[edit]

Please join this discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football regarding his transfer to Lyon. It has not yet been completed and all sources say will sign. Qed237 (talk) 22:37, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Transfer[edit]

HE transfered to lyon 2 days ago and got number 20 i tried to may time to change it but they dot allow me why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.85.193.176 (talk) 14:36, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because the transfer isn't complete yet. The news on the Lyon website says he will sign in the next few days. Until then, he's still technically a Manchester United player. – Pee Jay 14:54, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then why he is not listed on the squad in Manchester United F.C.#Players? Vincent525 (talk) 11:51, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because some overzealous editor chose to delete him prematurely and no one has got around to restoring him yet? – Pee Jay 11:52, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
