Apparently sometimes Richarlison doesn’t dive…

If we get Eriksen, would love Gil to just shadow him for the whole pre-season even if we end up loaning him out. There were some moments with Gil where he had touches of Modric in his game but so few and far between in such a sporadic run with us.Reason I think we can get Richarlison and Eriksen plus keep bergwijn and Lucas, with all getting enough minutes next season
However it appears bergwijn definitely wants out, so even if we get Richarlison and Eriksen, we may need another up front player as well as those 2.
One injury away from him being a starter.
So it's better to have a 51mill benchwarmer than a scrub who Conte doesn't trust to rotate in.
Yep. The schedule up until the world cup is a disgrace. Its essentially 2 games a week.To be fair, you could also say 51mio is cheap for a premier league proven player who can cover the top 3. He would be the perfect player for us.
With the amount of games next season, the 5 subs rule and our lack of forward depth, he won't probably actually be warming the bench that much
I’m having brain fade today, but I can’t remember the last time we bought someone off them. Nor the last we sold them bar Dele.Spurs & Everton have a good transfer history
Lennon was the last sale I believe.I’m having brain fade today, but I can’t remember the last time we bought someone off them. Nor the last we sold them bar Dele.

If we buy him, it's clearly not going to be as a bench warmer.£51 million Richarlison for a bench warmer????

Was Pienaar the last purchase?
That sounds about right. ??Aaron Lennon
Steven Pienaar

I think me and @dontcallme are probably in agreement on this, but to compete next season we need much more than a strong starting XI. We’ll need a strong core of 18-20 that the manager trusts. They’ll all get plenty of minutes with only a handful (Kane, Son, Romero, Dier and Lloris) automatic starters when fit. If Conte sees someone as one of those core 18 then we should expect to pay big money for them, even if they’re not an automatic starter.If we buy him, it's clearly not going to be as a bench warmer.
Can this post be at the beginning of every transfer thread please! Absolutely spot on!Man City had five attackers (Jesus, Sterling, Foden, Mahrez, Grealish) and four midfielders (De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva, Gundogan) who all played over 2500 minutes last season. There’s plenty of playing time to go around, you can’t just have a quality XI and a handful of backups anymore and expect to truly compete without running out of gas.
There just aren’t many options out there.I think he’s good but I would prefer someone with better close control dribbling. Quite similar in dribbling style to Sonny but a skilful dribbler would really help in tight quarters against a low block.
All about demand for certain players.Why is Bergwijn only going to be sold for 25m and Richarlison for 50m?
Because of the teams buying them.Why is Bergwijn only going to be sold for 25m and Richarlison for 50m?
Because Richarlison is a much better goalscorer than Bergwijn is, and goals win matches and save jobs.Why is Bergwijn only going to be sold for 25m and Richarlison for 50m?
