2018/19 Richarlison

[roydo]

You're right. I think it took a turn a few pages back on the Brands stuff.

Happens. I was actually going to respond to a Brands point you made, then noticed when I checked the spelling of his name!

 

[Goat]

Hopefully we see the lad out wide tonight doing the damage.

 

[hallamblue]

Even if we stuck a corner flag in the central attacking position and shifted Richarlison back to his natural role out wide left it would help us out.

Corner flag is probably more mobile than Tosun

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Richarlison playing as striker is fine. Our biggest issue is the front line not picking each other out for tap ins.

Ideally we will upgade right sided attack in January.

Regarding outgoings I don't think there is a DOF on the planet who could get back decent fees for the likes of Sandro and Bolasie, especially with the obscene wages they are collecting that do not reflect their abilities.

That is the mistake of previous regimes.

Yep. But if Richarlison was back in position, at least he's 1000% more potent at going solo than both Bernard and Walcott.

I am not sure DCL, Tosun or Walcott offer a bigger threat.

Bernard is erratic but creates chances.

We just haven't found that perfect formula yet as an attacking unit.

...because we dont have the ingredients for it is my guess.

Silva's latest words seem to underline he wants business done if at all possible in January. Good news for an incoming attacker.

 

[Toffeelover]

That becomes harder if the contract is left with 12 months/18months on it. You basically cant give those players away.

One has too look at who gave these silly contracts to has beens.

It wsn't Brands, no. But he's in the chair now.

And looks as though things have improved.

 

[Frang]

Made his debut 8 days after signing.

Did he...

I still think it will be Walcott who is replaced in the 11.

Bernard -- Richarlison -- ????

No future here for Walcott. He's just auditioning for a studio guest slot on Sky/BT.

He has a few years left in him. He helped us get to 8th in a disasterous season.
He just isn't at the level to compete with the clubs we want to emulate.

He would be a good signing for someone should he not be happy coming off the bench for us.

He should be at a Watford or somewhere. Certainly not Everton class. Not now.
