Richarlison at Spurs

[Blueclouds]

I don't know what the problem is. It's 100% true what he said. When was the last time the club showed any ambition? 80s probably

Erm have you been following us? Do you know much we have spent?

He was off the pace today, but to be fair so was most of the team the first 50-60 minutes. I'm hoping he starts our next game vs Arsenal as he looks made for playing derbys.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Apparently we lack ambition, that's why he joined spurs.

Can we stop the hero worship now

We didn't lack ambition, but we do now in the short run, and for cause.

I have a hard time viewing this one through anything other than the lens of: we had our fair shot at the relationship, we punted it and he moved on. Good person, we failed to hold up our end, and here we are.

I hope he does well. Always a first-rate servant of the club.

We have spent a lot of money, but look at the way the club has been run day to day. It's a mess. Do you think Kenwright cares about winning trophies? Moshiri was going on about expected losses. There's a culture of mediocrity running through the club from the top down

It’s utterly bizarre isn’t it. Don’t get people who feel one extreme or the other about him, he’s just a player that player for us for a few years, was mostly decent, sometimes poor and sometimes good, and then left and we made money on him. I can’t get into the headspace where I care about how he does at Spurs one way or the other.

As a fan base we have such a weird obsession with ex players. It’s only a matter of time before there’s a “SHUD WE BRING BACK RICHY” thread on the horizon. It happens with every half decent and up ex player.

So.

And what have Spurs won? If he wanted trophies then he gone to the wrong club.

Kenwright still has the paper from Wimbledon 94 on his office wall. That's his level of ambition.

Oh we all know it's true , it's the kick in the teeth we didn't deserve. We bent over backwards and dropped everything to keep him happy. He doesn't need to pick faults out against us after being treated like an emperor for four years.

I don’t really agree with this. We signed him, we paid him, he played fairly well, he got his step up. The way our fans treated him or looked up to him wasn’t his doing was it.

I guess it depends how you interpret.

They consistently play in the champions league, have one of the world's best managers, have world class players, etc

 

[Drico]

I've a feeling he's clearly pointing towards failing to keep hold of Ancelotti and spending 1.6 million the year before he left. We are trying to steady the ship right now and that's as much ambition as we have so he's right

He's worded it poorly or been poorly translated.

I'm no fan of Richarlison - he doesn't appear, let alone stand out, in any pantheon of Everton greats - but the loss of Ancelotti and the paltry warchest of 1.7m given to his successor would have any moderately ambitious player heading for the exit.

Evertonians need to direct their ire at any perception that we are not "ambitious" or at the same level anymore as Spurs, Arsenal, or even Newcastle to the board. But many of the same people, you'll find, will seal clap Bill Kenwright on a big screen, so they are what they are this is what it is.

Still won nothing

We allowed him to prioritise Brazil at the drop of a hat. Never dropped him , played him were he wanted, treated him like a sultan. I don't get why he has to come out and throw haymakers
