Player Watch Player Watch: Richarlison

[Phil_2.0]

I thought Richarlison was excellent a couple seasons ago, I just wonder if he's kind of peaked as a player. Playing at an emotionally charged club that's been struggling has dragged him down and hurt his confidence.

For 30m yes but 60m no. 40m maybe but more than that and we've had our pants pulled down.

Jesus is actually a pretty good comparison. I don’t think either have elite clinical edge about their games, but are huge positives in build up and link play, both press like crazy, and both step up in the big moments for the most part. On top of that, Richarlison is a major threat aerially too. Put it this way, if Richarlison played for city and Jesus for Everton, I don’t think the fee would seem that crazy, and I think Richarlison would be putting up at least what Jesus is at city, and city apparently want a similar amount of money.

Really can see the virtue in this signing like others have mentioned.

Covers the forward line, offers physicality and an outlet to draw cheap fouls, PL experience and on the edge much like Lamela was.

Him in a Conte side is such a good fit and another big 'un added to the fold it would seem.

They don’t owe anything for Dele

So how does Ali’s transfer work? I’m confused about it.

Would people prefer him or Jesus? Both sound like they will be a similar price.

Not that I think one walks on water or anything but personally Richarlison probably suits Conte’s style of play more.

I do question is Jesus could make a big impact on our team. Feel the same with Richarlison though. So ?‍?‍

 

[Robbiepope]

Everton fans think his worth more than 50 million , I’m surprised .

Initial fee of zero, instalments to be paid after certain numbers of appearances I believe

 

[Spursberg]

No doubt Evertons bests player, but man i hate players rolling around like Neymar. Man up, and i am all for Richarlison.

 

[felmani26]

He basically kept them up so i'm not surprised.

 

[Whoami?]

Would be a fantastic signing and ticks all the boxes!

Anywhere up top in a 3.
Up front as a targetman
Prem Proven, don't need time to adapt.
Has a competitive/nasty side that Conte wants to add to this team.

I see Richarlison as fitting into our team better.

Jesus is a good player but in my view he'd go from being a squad player at City getting a reasonable amount of playing time to getting the same at us. I'm not sure he'd be into the move. More likely he'll go to an elite side like Real Madrid or go to a very good team and be a first team starter.

Richarlison would be moving up to move to us. He'd be first choice behind Kane, Son and Kulu.

 

[Tucker]

Everyone seems to hate him, but it’s not because he’s shit is it. People hate him because he’s a complete pain in the arse to come up against. Proper shithouser and has decent talent and work rate to back that up. He could be exactly what we need.

 

[For the love of Spurs]

If this happens and we have Kane, Son, Kulusevski and Richarlison we will have proper quality attack with depth as well.

 

[AJW]

Think some are forgetting they paid 35 million for him in the first place and he has two years left on his contract. Part of me would be surprised if they agree to sell him at all

 

[Led Revolver]

I take it this is the striker that would ‘come out of nowhere’, @Hercules?

If so, very well played again sir!

Exactly we don’t fear Gabriel Jesus like that.

I believe and I might be wrong but Everton are in a world of FFP trouble and have to sell at least 1 player.

 

[Tucker]

Exactly we don’t fear Gabriel Jesus like that.

I’d pick Richarlison over Jesus every single time.

He had his best season yet last season! Basically dragged them to safety and only 25
