If it was up to me, Raphinha would be ahead of Richarlison and certainly Paqueta.

Outstanding player capable of explosions of flair that no one else in our squad, maybe barring Son, is capable of. I really hope he is top of our list (even just to stop Arsenal getting him!)

I don't know why we're not looking at Luka Jovic.

He's on stupid wages at RM.

Even so, wouldn't hurt to test the water. We were having a sniff round Gabriel Jesus and he's not on peanuts, and supposedly Raheem Sterling before him.

Were we? Not convinced it was anything more than a "what about Gabriel Jesus?" tbh.

I have to say, I'm decidely non-plussed we're being linked with Richarlison. I really don't rate him. Poor man's Chadli.

Raphina is different gravy, though.

Yeah, same here. I am very skeptical Richarlison is good enough and would be a bit worried if he is our big marquee signing.

Sorry but i can't shake the feeling he is like the Brazilian Rickie Lambert - a good workhorse for a lower half team, but that's it.

The Raphinha/Richarlison situation reminds me a bit of Diaz/Kulusevski, Diaz/Raphinha being the better players but Kulusevski and possibly Richarlison being a much better fit for what we actually need.

Only difference is Richarlison is actually shite. The only role I see him fulfilling in the squad is that of Winks replacement as scapegoat.

He's not one of my favorite players either but I wouldn't say he's shite. He could be very effective in a better team and he'd certainly press a lot more effectively than Kane does these days. I'd personally prefer us to go for someone like Martin Terrier, but what do I know?
