2021/22 Richarlison

Why would Richarlison’s Brazil place be in danger if he moved? Nobody is gonna pay £50m+ for a player and then not play them…
Fair point but I think it's just due to the competition especially with Raphina, Antony, Martinelli and others coming through in his position. To his benefit, Tite seems to think he's very capable of playing CF and he has a lot less competition in that spot, which for me nearly guarantees that he'll have a place unless something really goes wrong. It will definitely factor into his decision either way though, he absolutely loves playing for Brazil.
 
Clevz was no better or worse than Davies is at the moment, in a team that was supposed to kick on from just missing out on a top 4 spot under Bobby Brown shoes.

We have different goals now and one is just to have a functional side.

Would go out on a limb and say a 2015 Tom Clevz waltzes into this side 100%

Davies ( when fit ) hardly plays.

We don’t need another, more expensive version of another midfield crab.
 
Not really. Cleverly was a free and part of a squad going into Europe. Schneiderlin was part of a team with aspirations of top 4 taken from a team already in there (and also one of Koeman's ex players).

We need a team and one with consistent players, good on the ball, want to pass, especially in our horrid midfield . The last player we had like that was Barry. It's not about stats and "coverage" or assists it's about function for me in an disfunctional side.

Someone like Winks would be a massive upgrade in our midfield which consists of players who can't pass or can't run. Winks can do both. So for the long term building, in with a deal with Richarlison, would make great sense to me equally with £50mill in the bank for a replacement.

Wouldn't happen though.
I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree. We'll find out soon enough, I suppose, he'll either sign for us, in which case he'll be the "massive upgrade" that you describe or a non-entity that I fear, or move somewhere else and the same applies, or he'll stay at Spurs warming their bench.

I'm hoping for one of the latter two options.

Only issue with Davies is that he's ridiculously slow and weak. He wouldn't have come through the academy or captain Everton and England under 23s for being technically ineffective. In fact, his lack of physicality kills off hundreds of academy players unless they have some skill

If Davies could run he'd be a first team regular and be the new Leon Osman.

And in our predicament in a rebuild...I'd rather have a Leon Osman right now.

Don't think we'd get him or spurs would put him in a deal (that's just the footy manager heads).

But would be happy at the signing. Yes.
 
I’m all for a rebuild, and accepted that could well mean selling our ‘prized asset’ but not for 50 million.
I’m trying to be realistic but anything less than 60m then let’s not bother. See how the World Cup goes and if he shines, then sell him then…
