Confirmed Signing Richarlison

[hallamblue]

I blame Brands. As the DOF he should set a valuation of a player. If we can't get the player for that price tell Silva it's no deal and move on.

Time we saw some evidence of his work. The decision to get shut of Rooney was made before he arrived; the managerial appointment decision also.

Also all this rubbish about building bridges with Watford. Who cares about that? If it was Man Utd fair enough.

Could have signed Lozano and Tierney for the price we’re looking to pay for Richarlison and Digne - but it’s a start, let’s hope we add more in some other much needed positions

I don't think we could.

So you’re saying Richarlison is not the next Messi?

It’s possible, according to the data like

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Regarding him as a CF, he was used twice as s CF last season by Javi Garcia. Result? Watford won both games.

 

[BlueToff]

Not the statement signing you’d hope for. Don’t wanna sound doom and gloom, he’s a decent player but when sought after players like Malcom are going for less it’s disappointing.

We supposedly were willing to offer (or did offer) Bordeaux more money than Roma.

Malcom, according to his agent, wants to go to Roma.

As a whole it doesn't make sense. His figures show he's not the finished article, so arguably you're paying for potential as he's only 21. 50 mils worth of potential based on what he's shown so far tho?

I don't really understand the gap we're buying him to fill. Sure it's obvious we need a winger and so splashing 50m on one doesn't seem a bad idea, but why is it being spent on potential rather than what we need right now? Isn't that what punts like 11m for Lookman are for?

Juventus must be kicking themselves for spending £100m on Ronaldo when they could have had Richarlison and Sigurdsson.

Wonder how much Ronaldo’s wages are?

..he might well be doing this. The indication is Celtic wanted more than our valuation of Tierney. Richarlison is widely reported to be £35m initial payment, which might be our valuation.

Nobody really knows.

I just picked up a chicken mayo for 99p.

..watched some clips from his Fluminense games and he appears to have played lots as the central striker.

Didn’t Henry used to play as a wide striker before being converted to a central one?

I’m pretty sure we’re signing the next Henry (with added flair as he’s Brazilian!)

...I read a report suggesting Brands wanted Richarlison at PSV and regretted not getting him but I have no doubt Silva was the driving factor in making the move happen. Very interesting interview with Silva aired on Sky yesterday from his Watford days where he eulogises about Richarlison.

..he did. I mentioned the same thing yesterday.
