Do people think we will try to sign another attacker in addition to Richarlison?
We have to sign Richarlison first ;)

But yes I'd really like to hope so, that or another LWB and Perisic becomes another attacking option.
Bergwijn will be sold and Lucas is no where near good enough, we will be fighting in 4 competitions and we have the 5 sub rule coming into play, we need minimum 6 good options.

Assuming Gil is sold or goes back on loan and Bergwijn is sold and we bring in Richarlison then we need to sign at least 1 more attacking option yes.

I wonder if we might sign a more creative attacker who could potentially also play as a CAM. An Eriksen, Paqueta type.

I feel like any more attackers will be done late in the window based on who is available and interesting opportunities in the market. In the short term we should be far more focused on CBs and RWB.
Yeah any players of that ilk have got "opportunistic buy towards the fag end of the window" written all over them. A "nice to have " rather than "essential to keep Conte happy"

Funny if you read the first few posts of the Everton forum they were moaning they were overspending paying 30m for him and he wasn't worth it now there moaning 60m is too cheap

Conte said in a presser at season end that he wanted a 10, didn’t he? Or have I misremembered?

I think this was alluded to previously but I’d wager if we are targeting a creative player then this will become apparent quite quickly after (hopefully) securing Richarlison because the alternative seemed to be Raphinha in lieu of say an Eriksen to then be paired with a physical ST which now looks redundant.

I wonder if we'd go back to the table for Eriksen if Richarlison is locked in. If he's wavering towards Brentford again the money they'd offer would be within our reach.
I sure hope so. Still a no brainer for me.

Obviously not really for this thread but it is a little odd there basically hasn't been an update on him for the last 2 weeks. Does make me wonder, could Fabio be working on it in the shadows?

Could be smart to look at a utility playmaker type to replace Lucas. Someone who could play CM, CAM and RW. Paqueta would fit that.

Without reading the article it’s hard to know what they want but it’s understandable if they need the cash.

Don’t need to cool off I have a fan going by the side of my hospital bed fella and I am far needing to to cool off when I was just making a very polite and truthful point and to be honest I’m pretty the the laid back person I know especially when I use the bed recliner ?
Hope you’re coming on well in hospital mate.

We're going to try and squeeze even more if their financial state is there to take advantage of...

But we don't want to take the piss either and fuck them off...

Sounds like we're testing the boundaries with the negotiating at the moment...

ValYid on Richarlison: 'It ain't far off ??'

responding to 'Will it be done this week?'
'I would think so, yep…players physical assessments start end of weekend/monday too'

responding to 'Man, I hope we have an LCB come out of nowhere. Rich makes sense as he can cover Kane too. I have a feeling he will do very well under Conte. Davies has no competition that I can think of and Sanchez is a calamity playing LCB
'We’re not done yet??'

the last bit about not being done! I’d hope so too! Still need rb & cb 100% and possibly a creative cm/am
