Richarlison replacement

The Invisible Man.

It'll all be on DCL next season.

Dwight McNeil?

Any views on Solanke after couple of seasons at Bournemouth, or did he find his level in the Championship?

Not forgetting Ibe, or Brewster?

To be an Everton scout you just need to buy a skysports subscription and own a couch.

I don't think we have the budget for a Sky Sports subscription. I'll volunteer to sit in the local and watch it for a modest fee if I manage to unearth a real gem.

If Dennis is around the 14m it’s rumoured, and Harry Potter is also around 14m … get both

I think it's got to be Anthony Gordon, he has lots of similarities with Richarlison. He's aggressive, brave never gives less than 100%. The big question is, will he be able to get 10 goals this season? I'm not sure, but, he has as much chance of doing so as the options in the poll. The advantage with Gordon is that we don't have too spend money on him. Make no mistake, we will need every penny of the transfer budget just to have a squad that can stay in the league.

Now they know we've sold Richardson the fees have inflated.

Now they know we've sold Richardson the fees have inflated.

But they know we needed to sell to not be penalised so that money isn’t available.

So they can sniff it.

Depends if they have other suitors. Other than working with Lampard we don't have a lot to offer.

We lose our best player, a Brazilian striker, and we have those 3 no marks to pick from. I sincerely hope not.

Scary thing is, they may be the best 3.

Gordon is the correct answer. We already have him and Gray for Richy's position. Prioritise the other side where Townsend is first choice.

That sentence makes me sick in my mouth.

 

[MACCA75]

We need a player that absolutely walks into the team. A front line of Gordon, DCL and Gray is absolute next level garbage.

Exactly right - Gordon can provide some of the energy and desire that Richy provided. That's difficult to find in a player who can also contribute to goals. Gordon showed he can contribute to goals last season, plus he's got the former, so the open question is whether he can step it up.

Personally, I think it's too much to expect him to raise his goal contributions to Richy's level this year, so we need additional goals from somewhere. Could be a LW/ST like Richy or could be other positions. We absolutely need at least one to come in and immediately hit double figure goals this season.

FFS it finally just hit me: we have DCL as our only striker. A player who couldn't hit a cow on the arse with a banjo. How terrifying is that?

No, Dave, your man Rafael acquired Venezuela's greatest ever striker. Jimmy says he'll be banging them in this season.
