To be honest mate, a PL proven striker/winger who can guarantee a dozen goals and high quality attacking contributions will not come cheap.

Son or Kane go down holding their knee, we would immediately be up shit's creek without a paddle. Richarlison provides genuine quality insurance against that happening.

I'm all for it.

That's because you haven't seen him play as a center forward (something Bergwijn cannot do) yet.

not onlt that, theyll be looking over their shoulder with richarlison trying to take their place.

One thing that separates him from Jesus is his desire to get into goal scoring situations, he's not afraid to miss so he doesn't stop trying. Also, he throws himself at the ball so you won't see him not moving towards crosses.

I actually think his finishing is underrated, it's so much better than I ever gave him credit for.

Take a look at goals #1, #8 and #9 here. The composure and skill in tight spaces with no time to think is outstanding,



Ok, I take that back about his finishing. I just remember when watching him that he misses some good chances, but we are spoilt with and and son. Watching those I think his finishing is actually more of a striker than a cut in and shoot wide player a la son, salah etc.

I want him now. All types of goals in there.

Love the fact we are recruiting talented and tough players. Romero, Richarlison, Bentancur….these are players who aren’t going to take shit off of anyone and we have are going to roll over softer sides.

Really hope Romero and Richarlison keep a truce in training.
Can see the media team making a song a dance about that. Maybe some staged video of them two of them boxing or some shit followed by then hugging and making up.

Yeah seems they are deep in negotiations for multiple City players right now and the Richarlison deal is clearly one that needs to be resolved quickly.
there been no bid from thfc , everything that's here is spun by the Sun click bate
personaly we get Richalison we get him if we don't then we don't, but AC & FP have an agenda, regardless of fans and the noise their following that agenda; whether that includes a bid for Richarlison it remains to be seen

It's actually his mental attributes that make this such an interesting signing for me. I think Conte will actually love him.

I think that's what makes him a much better option for us than Bergwijn or Gabiel Jesus. He seems to have a real competitive spirit.

This is the kind of signing where I could see what Conte was getting at where players need to be both mentally and physically ready to play in the PL and for a big club. We've got that wrong in recent windows with the likes of Lo Celso, Ndombele and to a lesser extent Bergwijn (I cut him slack as I think Jose killed his confidence and he's wanted out ever since).

This has the sniff of the Villa/Grealish deal. We’re biding our time to force the sale at our price as they have no other choice. Until another big investor comes along.

I think we are well beyond this being a smokescreen now personally.

Although I love the idea of Levy inviting Kenwright down to Scott's just to keep the ruse going while Paratici ties up the Joao Felix deal...

Yeah he's clearly very determined and confident - the Everton fans are hugely complimentary about his work-rate and commitment to the cause. Whether he proves to be a success at Spurs or not, having a player who will run through brick walls for the team is never a bad thing and there's no chance of him being an Ndombele-style flop as he will leave everything out there on the pitch.

I think they need a big sale this week for FFP regardless. If anything it will give the prospective new owners more scope to do future business over the next 2 seasons.
