2021/22 Richarlison

[catcherintherye]

"Most unlikeable front 3 in the league with Kane and Son", etc.

They always find a way to make it about them.

Watford signed him for like £11m, he played 30 odd games, scored 5 goals and sold him for £50m as 21 year old - a player who had a woeful second half of his debut Prem season.

Everton sign him for £50m, develop him into a full international - remove any doubt about the lads ability and sell him for £50m (then deduct Watford/Richarlison fees) and £10m add ons.

This Everton board...

I expected him to leave, but to a bigger club than Spurs and for a little more money.

Concerned about the clubs ability to replace him - Thelwell and Lampard have so little credentials in recruitment.

The problem is mate, Watford sold him at 21. So some improvement was factored in to his price if that makes sense.

Danny Levy for you.

Saw a corpse and decided to be the first to pick it's face off.

Hope Spurs get battered each week.

Would love Richarlison to score at Anfield though.

It helps if you don’t spunk all your money and go backwards during that window though as well.

That’s the key, if they had at least bought more with some resale value and stayed competitive.
Mainly due to Mosh’s short termism with managers. With the exception of FSW they all got what they wanted within reason regardless of age or fit into the club or team.
Zero strategic thinking from the leadership team…… inc ‘the Architect’ before rightly being punted.

Let’s get his replacement in and move on. Someone who can link with DCL. Maybe it’s time to go with Dele behind DCL and get a goal scoring wide forward in who can also cover as striker if needed. Get the three of them playing together with Gordon in an actual fluid attack.

Ultimately Dave the main issue with the fee is that we massively overpaid for him in the first place, like we've done on countless countless players under Moshiris time here.

Was 20yo Richarlison on the back of not being highly rated (Vickery) when he arrived, and after one good season at Watford (not spectacular - was a poor second half of that season for him) worth anywhere close to being 40m player - genuine question cos he honestly wasn't at that time, if we'd paid 20-25 total for him max then the deal now wouldn't rub so much.


Same as we did overpay for Kean from Juve, we not only buy junk but when we buy youth we pay as if they've already reached the level they're tipped to maybe get to.

That's probably a fair point.

Apparently we paid 32m down for Richarlison, with performance add on to 40m and the sell on fee. Things never get reported like that.

We also probably should have sold him when we had that 85m bid made a couple of years ago. But yes, negotiating better would make a big difference.

 

[Bedfordblue]

We are unbearable. The fall over the last 12 months alone is farcical. Carlo ancelotti, looking at Europe, players like James Rodriguez playing in blue to benitez, a paedo, digne and richarlison sold for next to nothing so we can no doubt bring in more dross that offers very little on top $. Nice one.

Exquisitely summarised, it’s so tragic it made me laugh.

 

[barneygumble]

Not even for the new shirt release?

If it’s not lined with gold, I’ll be very distraught.

 

[Drico]

Big loss, amazed he’s gone Spurs tbh, thought he would attract offers from PSG / Barca / RM etc but hey ho.

lol

In some ways Juan Mata on £250,000 pw welcome home

 

[luuk_deventer]

Do one with your stats, see with my eyes what he offered, it made him Brazils number 9.

I will use Liverpool again.....do you not thing all the top clubs now regret not taking Mane, Salah, Firmino !?!

Yes, I am sure they do, but for every Mane, Son and Salah that made the step up, there are several more who did not.

Mkhitaryan, Pepe, Martial, Robinho, Ziyech, Lamela, Sancho (so far) etc, the list goes on.

 

[Baggzio]

Danny Levy for you.

Saw a corpse and decided to be the first to pick it's face off.

Smart operator. I know he's always been known as a tight arse but he's almost single handedly turned Spurs from a mid table club to one of the best in the league, never taken advantage of and are now established as one of the top clubs around. I wish we had people like him here honestly.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

The problem is mate, Watford sold him at 21. So some improvement was factored in to his price if that makes sense.

Not really, no.

We signed him as unproven, raw talent at 21. He'd scored 5 league goals and had a woeful end to his debut season at Watford.

We're selling him as a proven Premier League talent, a full brazilian international... at 25.

He's not in his prime yet.

That should have been factored in to the price.

We couldn't, because years of poor custodianship by Everton’s board and owner has given the buyer the leverage.

Levy smelt Everton's inept vulnerability a mile off.

The release clause makes Haaland a completely irrelevant example. Mané is 30 and had 1 year left.

ok then how about Coutinho £20 million or Diaz £43 million there really are t any big big money sales going to happen from clubs that have FFP issues and yes FFP is relevant to Everton because they will still be applying for a UEFA License as all PL clubs do
