Confirmed Signing Richarlison

[n01efc]

I’m shocked, 50m for a player who only scored a handful of goals last season. At least we can have faith that Silva knows him so it isn’t a complete gamble.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He may turn out to be pretty damned good for us if it happens- but what the hell does this mean for us financially? Do we plan on sending half the squad on loan because we aren’t going to get much in terms of income from sales. Selling Lookman would also be counterproductive if we lose him for the prices being touted. I am more confused than I’ve ever been about EFC right now.

 

[Walter Ego]

Paying at least double what he's worth. Ridiculous.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Spend a ton of money clearing out staff to employ a renowned director of football then go and buy some tosh from Watford because Silva used to manage him. Oh and pay way over the odds for him. Sounds fantastic, we'll be self funding this stadium of ours in no time with this business acumen.

 

[carolinablue232]

Could we be after both Brazilian players...Richarlison is right footed playing on the left...Malcolm is left footed playing on the right...

My hope was this is just a smokescreen to move things along with someone like Malcom. That price for Richardson is madness.

 

[thorney33]

Pretty clear it must include Silva compo.

State of some of you.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

...blend and buying players who compliment each other. Perhaps we have a playing strategy.

Has worked with him before so fee aside, it isn’t a risk, he knows what he is getting.

 

[nsno-chris]

Just be grateful he hasn’t gone back for Troy deeney

 

[longers]

Pretty clear it must include Silva compo.

State of some of you.

In what way is it pretty clear ? It’s not clear at all.

 

[Kev The Rat]

ordinary player

 

[fandjango]

Sold: Lukaku - 90 million
Replaced with: Sigurdsson - 45 million, Richarlison 50 million.

What is this club.

Thats the most ridiculous comment you ever made and you made some belters

Every price is madness these days though

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Ok, so let's just get something right here...

It's a big fee, no question, but to those calling him 'average', 'ordinary', 'tosh' etc. do me a favor and have a word with yourselves...

 

[Connor]

Quietly pleased by this.

..I just pointed out that Sky are showing an interview with Silva from last year and it’s clear he thinks Richarlison is very, very special. It’s worth a listen to.
