Confirmed Signing Richarlison

[The binman chronicles]

The Everton medical machine in full swing, he has to run 7 marathons across different climates (including desert and polar) and has to scale mount Everest. All in the allotted time of 15 hours or until his hamstrings snap and it is deal off.

I think he’ll prove a lot of people wrong and be an superb signing.

I agree with this article. Decent enough player who is highly rated due to a bit of luck* with his finishing

*he scored twice as many goals as would be expected with the chances he had. Richarlison scored half as many. Normally these revert to average apart from for the elite finishers.

Like Sandro you mean?

The selling club wants 50m.
The buying club isnt willing to pay 50m.
So to appease both clubs they stick on add ons to make it to 50m.
The selling club is happy cos if the player is a success they get their 50m.
The buying club is happy cos if the player FLOPS, they only pay 35m.

Honestly ive had this attitude for a long time, people just really want to ignore add ons, now whilst some add ons will never be achieved, IMO most are at least targets that clubs think can be reached.

I mean take Martials transfer to United :

The document says the initial fee of 50m Euros (£38.5m) for the player is to be paid in two instalments - €20m (£15.4m) within three days of his transfer, and €30m (£23.1m) on July 1.

There are then three further potential payments - €10m (£7.7m) if the player scores 25 first-team goals for Manchester United, €10m (£7.7m) if Martial makes 25 appearances for the French national team and €10m (£7.7m) more if the player is ever nominated for the Ballon d'Or award.

There is also a sell-on clause inserted in the deal, with Monaco due to be paid 50 per cent of any transfer fee between €60m and €100m United receive for the player.

2 very achieveable add ons and 1 stab in the dark.

Add'ons keep in mind that nobody is bothered by paying 50 million for an 80 million player. So that case with Martial perfectly illustrates my point, saying ALL of the add-ons should be included is as unfair as saying NONE of the add-ons should be. Some will be likely to be earned, some wont, and every deal will be different. Probably the only way we would pay 35 million is if Richarlison flops. And probably the only way we would pay 50 million is if he turns out to be worth 80 million. If Richarlison had anything similar, he like Martial have about a 0% chance to win the Balloon d'Or, its just padding. If hes successful, AND we keep him beyond 2 years he could reach the 1st and 2nd. But we also could easily sell him in 2 years when one of the top clubs in the world comes calling if hes scored 10 a year. Then, likely none of them would trigger. Though I suspect one of the add-ons is simply for him to start x number of games at Everton.

For Martial, there has been talk of United selling him this summer. If they do, they only pay 7.7 of the 22 million in add ons, because he doesnt have enough starts for france, though he might a year from now . Sure, a lot of people ignore add-ons, but as we all know both teams try and make the fee appear in their favor, and the real truth is almost always somewhere in the middle.

Heck, we have a player in Lookman who scored or assisted roughly every game in Germany, despite not being a certain starter for them. So what do we do? Spend crazy money on someone who shouldn't be a starter for us (because it should be Lookman and Walcott). Well in Everton.

Oh come on mate! we're buying him because our new manager, who knows him well, wants him. That's good enough for me, we have to back our new man or give up completely! The fee is the fee and I certainly won't lose any sleep over it!

It's difficult to predict some things and homesickness is one of these...some people have a propensity toward it. I've seen nothing in the Watford forums suggesting this big-nosed Brazilian fella was homesick whilst there...and let's be brutally honest; if you don't get homesick after moving to Watford, you're unlikely to get homesick anywhere.
