I said something similar but I was a bit more diplomatic @davek. His injury will surely kick us into action in January and not necessarily a back up to DCL but a replacement. Same for Gordon and GrayHope he's out for the season and we sell him for what we can get next summer.
That way at least this chronic 'kin club will be forced in January to do what it should have done in the summer: FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR RICHARLISON.
