2021/22 Richarlison

[BlueToff]

Maybe so.

He still wanted to go regardless. We probably would have preferred to sell somebody else.

Well if someone had come in for Dom mate sure. But they haven't, and one of the two of them had to go.

5 seasons averaging 10 goals a season.

For this reason, there remains significant doubt about Richy's ability as a starter for a top 4 club.

That is why no established top four clubs or big European teams were seriously interested at anything close to £50m (other than Spurs).

He will go and do well there, but I do not expect him to kick on and become a real top player. He may even be more of a bench player as he is nowhere near as good as Son, Kane or Kulusevski.

Wide players who score over 50 in 5 seasons are worth a fortune in modern football. Thats not a one off, its 5 years of consistent numbers.

He's worth well over 50m

If reports are to be believed, the potential new owners already have a record of financial mismanagement.

You couldn’t make it up!

They had problems 5 years ago and recovered

 

[BlueToff]

Reading we're getting the full £50mill straight away

yep, which would be a big positive as it really does help

The fun never stops.

 

[bernie inn]

Don’t think I’m that bothered, it’s football players come and go, the fee is the fee nobody else wants to pay it

 

[jinkyali]

Would it be 50m, or 60m in the books?

I think 50m tbf with a separate item for the 10m as its not yet realised.

 

[BlueToff]

Watford getting £1m according to The Athletic. Because it's add-ons, they won't yet get an additional £1m (10% of 60m) as it hasn't been paid.

All the best to Richarlison (except when he plays us)

Played a huge role in keeping us up last season

Hope he plays a lot and has a good World Cup

£49 millions for Richarlison is shocking lol

There's my silver lining.

 

[luuk_deventer]

Rubbish, it doesnt work like that at all.

Liverpool's entire from 4/5 where all doeing the same if not less than Richarlison was with us, and look how they have stepped up.

Good players are good players, and ones that work hard are even better.

Evidently, the top clubs do not agree.

Aside from duels, Richarlison does not rank high in the any of the meaningful statistics that many top clubs use to benchmark good potential players.

 

[Parker]

We do the same to the likes of Watford and Burnley.

Cycle of life and all that.

It is tedious like.

Yep and 5 subs is gonna make it infinitely worse.

No club outside of the current top 6 will win the league in my lifetime. The door has been bolted shut.

 

[BlueToff]

£49 millions for Richarlison is shocking lol

it is, should be £58m if the add ons really are achievable but yes, it is.

But this is where we are mate - we needed a big sale, it had to happen. It's crap, it's awful. This is why that joker at the top of the club, and his joker mates who run it, need to get punted asap.
