2021/22 Richarlison

For every reminder of Emmanuel Dennis’s brace in Club Brugge’s 2-2 draw at Real Madrid in October 2019, there are several warnings of a player with apparent attitude problems.


While this tag, which has followed the Nigerian to the present day, may come off as harsh, seemingly refusing to get on the bus before a Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund because his preferred seat was occupied appeared extraordinarily juvenile.

It reflects badly on the 23-year-old that former Cologne sporting director Horst Heldt looked to regret the mid-season loan signing of the frontman in a recent interview.

“He’s not an easy guy. We knew about this problem, but we took too much risk. We misjudged that,” Heldt admitted to the German sports website in early June. “Dennis caused a stir because his behaviour was not what the squad needs to be doing. We then dropped him because our priority was the group.

“That was a bad transfer, that is my responsibility.”
wasn't aware of his issues stay clear of him then. Probably another talent that will go to waste
 
It's a fair point.

I've outlined what I think market value is, and honestly I think 50-60m is about market and fair enough. When you look at Jota, Mane or what Bowen would go for, that feels about fair for me. We would want him to kick on, or to sell him over value, but not sure we are in that position. I hope we can negotiate upwards from 51m towards 60m. It's not ideal, but in the situation we are in, it feels the right compromise for me.

As for the other 2, from what I've seen I'm not sure they're poor mate. Cornet was very good against us, looks quick and direct. Saw Dennis a bit for Watford, and looked ok to me, and a Watford fan has likened him to Richarlison. I haven't seen loads of them, but their record last year was pretty good.

People will have watched more than me. I'm not saying we buy them but more that there are options available.

Mate you are comparing mane at saints and representing Senegal, jota who was third fiddle in a Portuguese team and from wolves and Bowen whose had a few caps in glorified friendlies to the starting forward for Brazil with a massive following on s-media.

Reputation and marketing do matter as does international reputation, in terms of the four at the same age, he is light years ahead of the other three.

As for Dennis - see my posts above mate, be a great way to start the Lampard right type of character era that. He's another Drenthe.

As for Cornet, I'll go off the eye test mate, he's just not very good. He isn't going to get better either.

@catcherintherye just to add to the above.

Do you think if Spurs offered £50mil for Bowen, West Ham would sell? Or even £60mil?

Thats West Ham were talking about...to add to Southampton, Wolves and God knows who.

If were going to be negotiating it should be £75-85mil range. The ONLY way this level of cash drops is when there are players involved from the other side that Thelwell and Lampard agree on.

in an ideal world we'd do a deal with a Spanish side or Chelsea.

If we sold Richarlison and signed Cornet and Dennis Id lose a huge amount of interest.

Wouldnt take either player on a free.




Law is clued up with Chelsea of course.

Id not be surprised to see 2 or 3 clubs make moves and this to be wrapped up by month end.
