2021/22 Richarlison

I’ve seen this Q a few times and it’s a bit more nuanced than that, I think.

We won’t find any player (that’s willing to join us) that will be as good or better than Richy.

My thinking is spend a chunk on the likes of KLP from Hull who will bring a bit of directness and drive to the role, and use the rest on some creativity in midfield (assuming defensive reinforcements will come with maybe selling Mina, or other transfer odds and ends).

So we may be losing something in that one position but improving the team as a whole.

Spending every penny on a like-for-like replacement would be exciting, but would leave us just as weak as we were last season.
I don't think it is impossible. It will probably be hard because of how precarious our position is.

I do think if we sign someone like KLP as you mention it could be a matter of letting him develop and then we are better off somewhat quickly.
 
I'm just going to toss some names out. Some aren't realistic, some I'm not sure are any good. One is a joke.

Luis Sinisterra, Hamed Traore, Hudson-Odoi, Brennan Johnson, Ademola Lookman, Sofiane Diop, Keane Lewis-Potter.

No I haven't watched them all. Yes I have scouted them through a combination of google, stats sites and youtube.
None of them are as good or will ever be as good as Richarlison.

Its not something you can argue, its just something you will have to accept, then in 7 or 8 years 1 of us will be right.

Heres a clue, it wont be you.
 
Hes 2 years older from when Ronaldinho made his mark on the world, but I like your thinking.

I mean he doesnt have to be Ronaldinho.

Our Centre Backs have scored more goals then the names on your list, its really a terrible list devoid of any footballing talent at all.
Well he's leaving Goat so who would you sign to replace him?

The thing is there are probably something like 10 players between 20 and 23 who we could sign who will be better. Just a question of figuring out who. I'm not saying I know.
 

God damn it I was really close to putting him on my list
