Richarlison at Spurs

ForeverBlue92 said:
What great marketing have the other clubs done in the league who haven't had CL footie/trophies ?

You're talking the difference of maybe a few quid its a drop in the ocean to the reality of the top 6 who's revenues dwarf everyone because they are in the golden goose competition every season, win trophies and titles and have millions of glory hunters worldwide buying their tat mate.

Ya'll gonna be dissapointed when whoever takes over EFC isn't having our revenues up there with the likes of Spurs and Man Utd because it takes more than just "clever marketing".

Tell me more about these trophies and titles Spurs have been winning, I'm intrigued.

COYB!

Yes, however, FFP is effecting our situation - no FFP, no issue spending the last three windows. It doers not appear to hamper other clubs like it has us. I know they have bigger incomes etc but, we are the only club to have had spending caps it seems.

It's not just the spending though. It's the complete failure to bring in any return on numerous players. I know not every transfer works out at every club but I'd be interested where we stand in terms of having to let contracts run down or accepting huge losses to get players off the books.

You’re spot in mate
So many failures
 

Lucas Moura got on ahead of him today, Richy came on when 1 down and 5 mins to go. He needs to be playing every single game to eventually get the best out of him but that won't happen at Spurs.
 
Know a Spurs fan really well and he loves him, just not getting the time and chances that many of the fans wat him to get.

Tactics not helping him at all, or many of the otrher attackers.

Iwobi and Richarlison are the same level of player.

How much money would you rate Iwobi at?

Rice is the only top level player there and he will be going most probably this summer. I’ll be amazed if Maddison stays at Leicester as well. If Guimaraes maintains his levels he’ll be off as well unless Newcastle pay him a state fortune to stay. Zaha left Palace as soon as United came calling, the only reason he’s back there is because he wasn’t good enough for them. The rest of the players in your list are either bang average or not good enough for a top 6 team. There’s no point debating any of this work you thought because you’ve never been wrong about anything ever.

Guimaraes is better than rice.

The difference is that with a rich owner, and no P&S regulations, it wouldn’t matter if we were making losses each year as Moshiri was happy to fund it, he still would be except now he can’t.

City and Chelsea would all have been loss making in those first few seasons as you have to pay out for top players on top wages to get a squad of players who can then challenge for CL football. Then you get the revenues from that and you have a squad of playing assets that you can sell so all of a sudden you player trading and net spend becomes far better.

Those drawing comparisons between our historical losses under Moshiri and City or Cheslea being really good at selling players and having good net spends are completely missing the point and just doing it to take yet another pop at Everton whilst ignoring the systemic unfairness of the regs.

I don’t know how many times it needs to be pointed out, the two are not mutually exclusive. Yes Everton have spent their money poorly but the regs also make the system entirely unfair. Just because Everton wasted some money in the past doesn’t mean that the regulations allow a fair competition.

All that’s happened is the clubs with massive revenues and already with established top quality playing assets have healthy balance sheets and can maintain that level free from regulations. Any club wanting to break in either has to gamble everything on a rapid two year incursion whilst they destroy their profit and loss column, perform a complete miracle on a shoestring budget, or embark on a decade long slowly slowly process of inching up the league hit by not making no player trading mistakes and expertly improving every year despite selling your best players at exactly the right time.

Since the regs have come in no one has managed either of these. So it wasn’t just Everton that failed, every single other bottom 14 club has failed as well.

We did buy a £50m forward, Richarlison.

We did have two £40m attackers, Sigurdsson and Iwobi.

We did replace Gana, with Gbamin.

We bought £60m worth of CB’s, Mina and Keane. And then Godfrey to add to that.

City sold 3 first teamers last summer, Jesus, Zinchenko and Sterling.

LOL

£50-£60mil Richarlison
£40-45mil Gordon
£25-28mil Kean

Ignoring FFP if we could just use that on 3 new forward players we'd be a different proposition.

Who knows whats around the corner...
