If you have a spare minute, can you send me your definition of terrible? You see, the Oxford Dictionary's definition must be out of date if that's the case.

I like Richarlison and I think he's already a good talent with even more potential; however, to say his true worth is anywhere near £100m is for me fanciful.

Earlier in the season, I remember seeing a statistic that he hadn't scored a goal in England below a certain temperature - think it was along the lines of 7ºC. Now I'm certain he's now broken that so I may be clutching at straws, but I have an inkling he may improve as the weather improves.

The issue for me is that he's not finding a healthy balance of using snideness (theatrics etc.) and looking like a player who simply dives and is soft in challenges. The latter will induce a reputation with referees and he'll end up not getting decisions regardless of whether he deserves them...

More importantly, I wonder if there's some people on here who think he is a better player.

Exactly. It's almost as if it is a requirement to have competition over 'who has the most valued player'.

Like I said in my previous post, I definitely wouldn't want him sold and certainly not for £70m; yet, that doesn't automatically mean that he's actually worth that. It is based purely on the fact that we 'may' have a great player in us and if we were to sell him, I think we'd struggle - in the...

If I'm honest, I would blankly refuse to sell him, which ultimatly people will say he's priceless or worth huge amounts. I'd refuse to sell him as it's only early days. Looking at it objectively, I like Richarlison and he's had a fantastic start here, with what looks like a lot of potential to...

He's not worth £70m, let alone potentially higher. Don' get me wrong, I am delighted with the start he's had here and his form for Brazil, but it's only early days.

Sorry, I mistyped 59 in 99 as Real in the original post when that was actually his time at Inter; 104 in 177 game was rightly Real as I had mentioned later on. At AC, his record was still a very, very respectable 9 goals in 20 appearances (0.45gpg) and then he finally finished off with 35 in 69...

Wow. Now, I am a big fan of Richarlison but comparing him to the original Ronaldo is either fantastic fishing or you've been self-medicating for far,far too long. As @Tel001 alluded to, Ronaldo wasn't just on a different level entirely, but sat right at the top of the pyramid; until his...

We've also still got Tosun who in my opinion isn't a bad option in himself. Obviously, I wouldn't say no to further options up front but it isn't as simple as that. Like you say, we should take stock of our situation come May and bring in the right player, at the right place as per our...

Going on the previous logic as well, Ian Wright couldn't even get a professional contract until he was twenty-two.

Spot on. In reality, any success isn't going to happen over night and along the way we've had a number of false dawns - Martinez season one comes to mind. There'll undoubtedly be a fair few peaks and troughs, yet if Silva is given time and the money to develop the squad then we should hope to...

Perhaps for the first time since the latter years of Moyes, or stages of Martinez MKI, have we looked like a team who can play fluid football based on anticipation. It is only early, however the players seem to know where each other are and this is improving the tempo and how fluid we are; we...

That's the crux of it: football is about being entertained through being enjoyable and this group of players are able to do that through their footballing ability.

We spoke about this in the pub afterwards. The first was a lovely instinctive finish - ten keepers wouldn't save it - but the second oozed real class. Lovely to see!

Although he didn't play poorly, I don't think it was his best game yesterday. However, you could say that about a lot of players yesterday: not bad but not great.

Jags is 6ft or thereabouts.
