2021/22 Richarlison

Right now, with the squad we have, we must be odds-on for relegation.

One striker plus Rondon in the entire squad. No decent wingers. No creativity in central midfield. No game-changers from the bench. And seemingly no money.

Unless big personnel changes are afoot, next season promises to take us down.
 
Maybe if he hadn't played 2 tournaments in the summer, he may not have been injured as much and could have helped us a bit better than the last few games. People saying he kept us up, he also missed his share of gilt edge chances that he should have scored from which cost us points.

The worship this lad gets is mystifying to me and far beyond his ability deserves. That said he's still one of our better players and Thelwell has a job on his hands to make us even competitive again.

He is a good player and a good team mate but he also lacks in a fair few areas. He is in no way irreplaceable as some seem to think. I doubt a move is going to help him to stop dribbling into defenders or passing to teammates lol

Cheers Rich and good luck at your new club, we move on.
 

Villa are run better than us. That is the only reason this has happened. Should be enormous protests at all pre season games until the jokers in the boardroom are gone. But we’ll wait until we are a whisker from relegation I fancy.
I wouldn't bet on that, you know. They are looking very 2017 Everton at the moment, signing older players on huge wages. They might make it work but they are taking similar risks to the ones we took and we all saw how that worked out.
 

Where is he going to play for Spurs?
Son has the left side and he isn't replacing Harry Kane anytime soon.
I think he has sold himself short, the bigger European teams would have suited him.
 
Spurs are better than Celtic though Eggs mate
And have more chance of making it to the KO stages.

And will pay more money than Celtic

And provide a bigger platform for him to perform on and potentially cement his Brazil World Cup place.

Difference between Spurs and Celtic are huge. Playing in the CL is huge for most players despite what anyone might think about the integrity of the competition.

Spurs go into this season with arguably the 3rd-5th best squad in the league (arguably top 10-12 in Europe), with an elite manager (Top 5 in Europe), with an amazing new stadium, a big supporter base, CL football and a reasonable chance of success compared to 50-60% of the PL.

It's easy to laugh at Spurs being Spursy but they are the aspiration for any club not in the 'Top 6'. They are the team that have gate crashed that group of clubs without being backed by a state. They've done it through careful building on and off the pitch. They haven't won a trophy as of yet but they've put themselves in a position to be regularly in CL (and make a final) , be at the top end of the PL and be a destination club for any player playing in most other PL clubs (arguably 14 others until Newcastle's takeover).

That should be the aspiration for Everton but they haven't had anyone with the vision to put the right footballing structure in place and then employ the right people to operate within that structure. Kenwright and Moshiri are to blame for that. Said it on here a few years ago so anyone can look through my previous posts to see it isn't recency bias. Club has no defined strategy or clear structure. Spurs should be the benchmark for the level that can be reached.

….erm, it wasn’t a serious suggestion. We hear it all the time that a player ‘wants Champions League Football’, but they clearly want more than that.
