So with winks seemingly going the other way, effectively it’s a 45+ winks deal I’d say.
Happy with that

I can't believe people are questioning the fee, £50m is a very fair fee for somebody proven in the Prem.

Let's not forget how much the scum paid for that clown Pepe.

I’m honestly in a bit of disbelief that we have signed both Bissouma and Richarlison. Two of the league’s best players, the best at their respected sides. Proper seismic change for us, doing business that we only tend to see the likes of City and once a upon time UTD conduct. Proper big club stuff.

wow looks like it is really happening. A very clever signing i think. The guy has a ton of energy, can play on the wing and as a striker and has some great skill. He'll be vital for all the games that will take place, he might not start every game but nobody will with how many there will be in a season that will be crammed.

No surprise WLB wakes up, comes on her then Romano announces it…

£85m for Richarlison and Bissouma is very good business, paying a slight premium on one player and getting a discount on the other.
£60m is not overpaying IMO. You have to remember the premium that you pay for a forward, not to mention a proven one. Just need to look at the below list to see he's one of the cheapest forward signings by an Top 6 PL team in the last few years:

Grealish - £106m
Lukaku - £102m
Nunez - £85m
Sancho - £77m
Pepe - £72m
Mahrez - £61m
Werner - £48m
Jota - £40m

106 million for Grealish is mental

You do realise we already sold Dele to them right?
The deal we made when 'selling' Dele to Everton means that we effectively get £500k every time he plays for them (in tranches of £10million, up to a maximum of £40million) - so anything which makes it more likely for him to get game time is beneficial to us.

Ones in bold didn't even have PL experience, Richarlison has played 5 full seasons in England.

£50m+10 is a fair price for all parties involved, without putting too much pressure on Richarlison himself. It's going to be worth the money to be able to finally rotate players and have competent replacements alone.
