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.
Bergwijn has never scored more than 3 premier league goals for us in a season.
He went a full *calendar year* without a single goal in all competitions. For comparison, Lucas scored around 10 in that time.
I get he has some talent but at some point we need to really stop the Bergwijn love in. Richarlison scored more Premier League goals last season than Bergwijn has in his whole Spurs career.

Yes I believe so. Looking positive for us and seems like Cheslea are starting to distance themselves from it.
Love how split people are over this transfer, I’m not against it especially if it’s what Conte wants!

Looking like it’s a matter of time now. Hopefully we hear it’s agreed soon

Doubt it will work out at 60 mil cash, all things being factored in.
There'll be some creative accounting on this deal, with obvs the possibilities of other deals (players) being weighted in certain ways to look better on everyone's books, I would think.
Level-headed facts here.

How is it a minor change? Richarlison is a much better player than Bergjwin. He has more goals last season than Berg has in his Spurs career.
I have to say the over rating Bergjwin gets from some Spurs fans to be quite fascinating. A guy with an appalling goal and assists record. I don't quite get what Bergjwin has done to get so much backing. btw Richarlisons end product surprised me. double figures in 3 of the last 4 seasons. 13 goals is impressive.
I wasn’t meaning I’m against it, just at that fee seems high! I suppose it is the going rate and he is a good player that will suit us.
I’m also all for it if it is what Conte wants!

Dont give a fck what we are paying. Knowing Levy I know it wont be a sum that sees us broke anytime soon, so what do we care if its 40/50/60m.
We should just be happy if we have another option upfront that has the ability to add goals and assists on a regular basis.

I understand that it will split people's opinions because of his stats, but he is the exact type of player we need. I posted yesterday that stat-wise he is pretty much on par with Son at the same age. If you add in that Richarlison has 170+ PL games under his belt, can play anywhere across the front 3, and has the workrate of a fucking animal you can understand why it would be a £50m+ deal.
I honestly don't think we will regret this.

I agree in terms of natural talent.
Problem is Bergwijn clearly isn't cut out for it at Spurs. He's had so many chances to impress and can't play to the level he's capable of in a Spurs shirt for whatever psychological reason.
If there's one thing Richarlison doesn't lack it's self belief and he's consistently done well for a worse team in the Prem. For that reason alone he's a big upgrade on Bergwijn while he also looks a much more natural fit to cover Kane up top as half his goals are headers.

Obviously his versatility is an asset but still think we need another forward option. I’m not sure Kane/Son/Kulu/Richarlison/Lucas is enough. People have said about Perisic as a deputy in the wide forward positions which I suppose works but I still fancy a creative option like Raphinha or someone in that mould

It'll likely be on very favourable terms for us. Everton will want the headline figure as high as possible so they can declare it for FFP. That has no bearings on how the amount is actually paid. My guess is straight five year instalments and I imagine Winks will end up going there with a pumped up obligation fee to offset against from our perspective (which will be 1-2 years down the line for Everton's new owners to worry about).

One of my favourite things about this (potential) signing, is that the small handful of people apparently against it, who swear he's worth £40m but not £50m, are still floundering around for an explanation of why he's not worth the price tag, a month after we were linked.
The pros of Richarlison are numerous.
The cons are that he goes to ground too easily while playing for Everton, but not while playing for Brazil, who are a little bit better than Everton.
Still can't believe I was dead set against this link and now he's top of my wish list. Amazing what can happen when you actually embrace new information.
Bring it on.

Yep. Richarlison's goal record is about 1 in 3 for a poorer team. Bergjwin's goal product has been much worse whilst playing in a much better side.
Kulu has come in and shown what is possible in this team, and Son and Kane manage to do it just fine. Berg has nooone else to blame but himself, he just hasn't scored anywhere near enough.
