That’s certainly a fair point. I think in this case it’s probably more to do with what our style of play isn’t. Kean appears to be the type of striker who comes alive in the box, and relies on people teeing him up. From what I’ve seen his all round game isn’t great but he’s got good movement in the box and can finish. We have very little creativity in the team, our midfielders can’t pick out strikers with good through balls, we rely on getting wide and putting crosses in and our front players have to work hard chasing balls and being a nuisance because we can’t keep hold of the ball and dictate games. Silva was only ever going to play one up front and kean just wasn’t cut out to do that job. As I’ve said, you can say we shouldn’t have hired silva, you can say we should have sacked him after the first year to bring in a different style, but what you can’t really say is that kean suited the way the manager he was bought for wanted to play. It was painfully obvious from his first couple of appearances.

Yeah that's all fair, I just struggle with criticizing not bringing in players for our style when I have no Earthly idea what that is meant to be even now with Carlo in charge. Honestly that is one thing I thought Brands was going to sort out but he doesn't really look like doing it.

I don't mean he will be like for like, I mean if Richarlison goes, we have a young, pacey and now more experienced forward to fight for this position.

If we get £90m for Richarlison, we might go out and strengthen defence or midfield and we have saved using that money because of Kean.

We can't judge a player on a handful of games otherwise DCL won't be our star striker today.

Kean is a work in progress but if clubs like Juventus and PSG want him surely that's a good thing.

But Kean doesn't play like Richarlison, he's closer to DCL. He can strike a ball well and has good strength and pace but like DCL he doesn't fashion many chances out like Richy does.

I know but if you sign say a fast attacking winger and right back from the Richarlison transfer fee then we have 2 strikers to play Carlo's favourite formation 4-4-2
 

'Everton supporters in another attempt to sell Evertons best players'. Were has it been reported that Richarlison wants to leave at the end of the season? Or anyone else for that matter?
 
Another goal for him tonight.

It was awfully generous of us to loan PSG our third and only backup striker to play alongside Neymar and Mbappe while we knew that we'd be done for if either of our other two strikers got injured or suspended.

To think people actually get paid to make these decisions at Everton. Beyond baffling.
