Confirmed Signing Richarlison

But Perisic and Insigne won't come here. Insigne is a 5'4" midget too. 29 and 27 respectively.

Insigne may be a member of the Lollipop Guild but he's quality and, most importantly, wreaks havoc offensively...like few, if any of our squad does. This is all I'm trying to get across. The amount of squad players we have that have both the experience and quality to make us a threat is horrific. These types cost money, you can't keep livin' on a prayer.
 
Not excited about this. Splashing 50 million on him when Max Meyer is a free agent. Makes no sense to me at all.

How do we know that;
A) We haven't approached Max Meyer
B) He hasn't been approached by another club (or several) with good offers already
C) Marco Silva simply believes he wouldn't fit into the system he plans on playing
D) He may just not want to join us, if we have approached him.

Not as easy as FIFA18 this signing players lark.
 
someone should contact Mosheri soon as, Tell him lads on here think the two experienced football professionals he's employed
as Manager and DOF have massively overpaid for a bog standard wide man, and to stop spending money ,showing ambition is kopite behaviour :

Mate fat sam was an experienced football professional that mosh employed. You reckon we should listen to what he was saying at the time he was here?

Well every player comes with a risk. If we are gonna spend big I am all for doing it on a 21 year old that looks like he could be the real deal. Spending on late 20's talent is not the way forward.
 
Before you spend £50m on Richarlison, surely you think about all the players better than him whose clubs might accept a £50m bid for. Or is that just me?

NO , it’s not just you. 50m buys you a good proven player still , even in this crazy market. Lozano would be nearly half the price

"Real deals" have a minimum of three years of consistency in their game...this dude's got about maybe half a season. Never mind the fact that this crop of Brazilians have proven to have the mental strength of a wonton from one of your local asian all-you-can-eat joints.

Add to that, Watford can GTF...
 

Royal blue Mersey have cousins or familly in Holland do they? Remeber saying we want 50m for Rooney? 30m euros or pounds is a massive fee for any Dutch club. Even paying 35 for him is less risk than Richarlison at 50
They quoted it from a Mexico paper - https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.co...ozano-mexico-winger-psv-eindhoven-news-latest - who would likely have good sources on Lozano.

There are some kopites on here but there's a disturbing amount of babyishness from Blues on here.

Dont' spend anything....omg Moshiri is a fraud....everloan wah wah wah....three weeks to goooooo!!!!

Spend on a HUGELY talented player and everyone whimpers about it being too much.

Kinell, it's pathetic.

Mate he cost 11.5m 12 months ago , he scored 5 goals I’m 12 games and trumed to crap.

So now we are offering to pay a club nearly a 400% profit on him
 
Surely Lozano at 30m euros or whatever would be less risk and better value ?

Less risky then a young player with experience in the premier league. That has worked with our manager before and perfectly fits into his system and style of play?

The way I look at it is we're paying the 35 million we were going to pay for malcom. Everyone was happy about spending it then. On some midget from a crap leauge who's never thrown in a tackle in his life. Regardless of how good he was going forward silvas style requires the wide players to have a defensive edge to them, malcom is lacking in this area to say the least.

My point being individual brilliance isn't what we need now. What we need it to bring players in that will fit our system and make us a team.
 
Are Watford sueing is for Marco at the moment? As far as I can see we approached Watford for him, offered money, they said no, we got sam, they sacked Marco and claimed it was our fault (he didn’t quit) , we then played the season out , sacked sam, got Marco ? Not missing anything am I? Wouldn’t be worried about compo tbh. So why are people assuming 50m includes compo ? If it does I’d tell them to go French connection United Kingdom themselves. They’re chairman is an idiot and has had more mangers in the last two years than we created chances under sam. He can’t honeslty blame us for Marco wanting out before he got the saock like the 12 managers or whatever it was before him
