Age is a factor too though, Coutinho was 25 when he went, Richarlinson is 21. I'd also say, Richarlinson has played most of his games in a wide position, as opposed to a striker (similar to where Coutinho played). What I'd say though, is if Richarlinson went to Liverpool he would absolute...

I thought he played down the right?

I agree with that broadly speaking mate. I suppose I was talking about in the PL. Mbappe is better than Richarlinson, but I would say he is close to Dembele currently.

This is a great point, see my post above, there are 3-4 bits of the game he can improve. I remember thinking Lukaku would get better at a similar age but it was more just he'd become more confident. With Richarlinson there's loads you can see he can (and probably will) do to get better. I think...

I agree with the sentiment of this. All I'd add is I don't think he's top draw yet (though fair enough if that's your view) but I think he can still get a lot better. He can still be much more clinical and still learn how to master the number 9 role. He will also fill out a bit over time. I also...

All the signings have done very well,albeit a bit of up and down. I actually think Digne has been the best signing, even before todays brace. Does his job very consistently.

Looked like he needed a break, sensible (and brave) for Silva to rest him. I also think he dovetails very well with DCL who can do a lot of the "dirty work" for him. That's probably the single biggest thing we didn't do for Lukaku- get a lad in up top with him who could occupy defenders and let...

You stopped your ride too early.

I think you should go for a run or something mate. The anger won't do you any good.

That was the league cup against a Southampton 2nd 11 if I remember.

We are in a really good position as a squad now, that most positions are well filled and that there is good back up in terms of young players. The name of the game is now really about adding quality. We clearly have a "type" we are going for in terms of age profile and type of player. It looks...

I don't ever remember Origi scoring a domestic brace never mind a domestic hatrick. Last seasons poor form coincides with Silva leaving and playing for a poor team. Under Silva his record is very good. That's just being honest mate.

The thing is mate, Origi scored hadn't scored as many (league) goals in his entire first season as what Richarlinson has scored in November. In all honesty most of our fans are too cautious in what Richarlinson has achieved thus far.

I agree with all of that, all I would say is I would put Lukaku in the bracket too, especially as a younger player. We always struggled to put quality around Lukaku though, whereas what is exciting now is there is an infrastructure around Richarlinson. None of our players around him are over 30...

Thats it. I think there's some bias towards the top teams but that is refracted through the poor standard of officials. For the most part I thought the ref handled it well yesterday. Richarlinson had to go. The fact Smith didn't role around on the floor is irrelevent. He took a good decision to...

For me a big part of the problems of last season were that we played a lot of the new players from the start and the team had no synergy. Sandro, Klaassen, Vlasic, Keane etc were all stuck in to fail. I wouldn't be shoe-horning anyone is. Moyes was always very good at this, he made people wait...

I'll add one final thing, he looks a cut above. The last signing who had the impact on me was Kanchelskis and possibly Gary Speed. Lukaku looked a top draw young player who would be brilliant but did take a bit longer to impress, you always knew he would be world class but the impact wasn't as...

Aside from his quality and skill what I love is his desire to score goals. He wants to get in to the dirty areas between the sticks and pick up easy goals. With his power, leap and size he will be very hard to handle. I felt if he get 10 league goals he'll have been a great investment, He has...

I think there's a bit of both. He has age on his side and can still improve his finishing. One caveat is many of his chances are headed chances which don't tell to show up well on Xg. The finish for the 2nd goal last week was not that of an erratic finisher though. It was an incredibly composed...

For a hefty profit if he is though mate. I think will be gone within 2 years, but we will get 100 million is for him.
