Player Watch: Richarlison

[Aphex]

Not for me.

 

[CrouchPotato]

I hate pigeons too much for this transfer

 

[ebzrascal]

No way. He's petulant, inconsistent and quite frankly not very good.

He is one of those hugely over hyped players who has a few decent performances a season. Nowhere the level, never mind the potential, of dejan.

perhaps look at his stats very decent in my view

 

[cider spurs]

Feck sake.

Weekend just about to start, and this thread sits top of the pile.

I really don’t rate Richarleson, technically he’s nowhere near our current three and I feel he’d really struggle to synch with them. Very overrated player IMO.

Forward is the one position where I find all the links of recent really uninspiring. Dybala and Lautaro where perfect but both seem unlikely or impossible now for different reason’s. Hopefully Paratici has something special up his sleeve.

I don't mind some of the linked players, the likes of Nunez, Isak and Osimhen are players a lot of teams are hoping could be their main striker, but none of them feel particularly close or indeed likely. It seems Inter will dig their heels in on Lautaro, which is a shame but ok if it earns us Bastoni.

I wonder if this is one where Paratici has something up his sleeve, but it's probably just that we are focusing on other areas and free transfers first.

With the exception of maybe Jesus to Arsenal, I imagine most of the selling clubs of our mooted targets will want to try and entice a bidding war for their prized assets.

Yeah I get the impression that we have identified certain areas that we want to get sorted first, with the forward being the last priority given our current front three (not to say that we don't need competition there!). I think it is probably something like:

1. LCB
2. Wing backs
3. CM
4. Forward

Agreed. I think it'd speed up when/if Bergwijn leaves.

If we managed to bag Perisic on a free he is someone that could cover the front line in a pinch too.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Please god no!!! Hate this guy so much. Rolls around like a baby. We already moved on one of those in Ndombele, don't bring in another in Richarlison. Don't even think he's that good either tbh. We do however need to strengthern in this position ideally 2 new attacking options as Bergwijn will likely leave and if Kulu or Son get injured, Lucas is a big step down. With 5 subs next season we need 3 quality attackers who can replace our front 3.

 

[SuperLuka]

No thanks

 

[Frank Blank]

I feel for the grass at the stadium. It's would be absolutely hammered and pillaged, given Richarlison would spend much of the season rolling around on it.

 

[ikky]

Not someone I would want especially at the fee Everton would want ( maybe do a deal regarding the Ali payment ). However if he’s someone Conte really wants I’m not going to argue against it.

 

[Tractorspur]

I don’t think he’s that good to be honest

 

[Mr Pink]

Streaky imo. .and his antics aren't exactly admirable lol

I'll back Conte whoever he goes with but he wouldn't be on my list.

 

[SpringHeeledJim]

He is a prat, but knows the league well, can play all across the front 3 positions and think he could blossom playing with better players.

Less of a risk than many of the players we're linked with from Europe

 

[Fredo]

If Conte wants him, I want him. Obviously he'd shape him into the mould we need.

 

[floydiohead]

It's a no from me.

 

[Wick3d]

It's a no from me.

I'll be sure to forward this message to Paratici.

 

[Johno1470]

The only way I can see this as a consideration is to do with the structure of the Alli deal to Everton. I can’t imagine we’d let them slide getting him for free and no doubt Levy has included some creative option where they owe us something.

We were previously linked with two others at Everton, so maybe it makes sense we’re trying to take one of theirs based on the Dele deal and there’s something owed to us.

My own opinion, I don't believe for one second that Conte, with his incredible knowledge and awareness of what players do and are capable of doing, sees this bloke as anything like good enough for what he wants.

I'd go further and without wanting to upset anyone, I don't believe there's much of anything behind all these rumours. Someone is desperate to get him sold and now it's been made public we have a wad of extra cash, it's easy but lazy journalism to tout his name around.

The guy is nowhere near good enough for us in my opinion, and if Conte really does want him I'd be absolutely staggered.
