I think it’s mad that people rate our players as “ amazing” when they aren’t .
Richy is a solid/ good prem player .. not quite top 4 standard . That’s his level as his all round game is not good enough for the top clubs . Hence why nobody has tried to sign him
I didn't say he was amazing.
He's a 24-year-old with over 50 Premier League goals to his name having played for Watford and Everton... In that time he's established himself, until this season due to injuries and Everton's requests, as a Brazil regular. He's won a Copa America, helped them reach the final in another and then been their best player at an Olympics, winning gold.
He's not actually a striker and in neither of those sides has he ever played in his best position (left forward) for any sustained amount of time.
I don't know what 'top-four standard' is - and neither do you, because the top four isn't a thing anymore. West Ham are 4th at the minute, would he not get in their side? He'd get in Man Utd's, he'd get in Arsenal's and Spurs' team...
He wouldn't get into three sides in the Premier League and that's the top three, but you look how Jota has come on at Liverpool, so you know what, maybe he would get into those teams too?
Teams haven't tried to sign him because Everton have been resolute that they won't sell and he hasn't budged to move. That will probably change in the summer due to his contract and Everton's financial needs. Barcelona were interested and PSG are likely to be in for him as Leonardo supposedly really rates him.
