2021/22 Richarlison

[Goat]

Yes mate sorry about the apparently not recognizable sarcasm

Is it any wonder when you make statements like finishing is random and winning isnt important.

Its difficult to know.

 

[blue to the bone]

Comedy gold, without fail right there.

Love this forum

It has to be more then one person.
No one person can spout so much wham

I've played. Last time playing 11s we played a 4-1-4-1. The tactic was to go from the wide players or the DM to the striker and then have him immediately play one of the CMs in because they were the fastest guys. I learned a lot about how Pep thinks from it.

This definitely did not happen.

Its about perception mate.

You ask on here who they would rather have, I do suspect a lot would say Raphinha and we are biased.

His "stock" is higher than Richarlisons, for some weird reason.

Yeah...that's what I'm afraid of especially with our history of "negotiation." I think it's down to Raphinha breaking through more recently and the weird perception that Richy has a bad attitude. There's not much reason to believe that Raphinha's ceiling is any higher, though. I'd understand if he was a few years younger. If anything I would be more concerned as a buying team that he could be the latest Brazilian flash in the pan winger. Saw a lot of Leeds last year, unfortunately, and he's so, so good I will say.

Yeah, bellends like Carragher screaming for him to get up after a clear foul doesnt help.

Arsenal have put in an official bid for Raphinha. This should set the market for Richarlison.

Richy got 10 goals last year and is more proven, can play ST and is much better defensively. Raphinha got 11 goals and is better with the ball at his feet and a better playmaker. Both 25 and both have contracts expiring in 2024. Literally no reason we should accept any less than whatever he goes for, in fact we should demand 10m more.

I know they have a big stadium, based in London, blah blah blah - but aren't Arsenal sailing a bit close to the wind with FFP?

Since 2019 they've spent £400m and recouped less than £100m

They have huge revenue.

They make around 120m a year in Match day revenue, for context, we earn around 18m.

I'm being somewhat obtuse but I really earnestly believe that way more than half the battle is getting the shots off from good positions and that players who have proven they can are much better investments than guys who seemingly finish well.

Scoring goals is multifaceted. That’s why it’s so tough to find good goal scorers. You can be great at finishing but have crap movement and not score. You can get in great positions and then fluff your lines. You have to be able to both put yourself in position as well as finish it off. Not many can do both efficiently.

Must be all that sweet, sweet Rwandan sponsorship money

If I was in charge of the club I would defo increase prices.

Good. Then maybe protestors would think twice about spending their hard earned money to zip tie themselves to the goalposts.

Actually, maybe up security while you’re at it too?

I would draft in some Texans and issue carry permits.

I'd put it at like 90% movement and being able to get shots away, 10% actual shooting quality. Basically every professional can strike a ball with time and space. Few find that where it matters consistently.
