Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[DanEFC92]

Richarlison is a decent player and would be welcome here - but it's the fee that will be the issue

Hopefully it's about £20-25m upfront with a load of unobtainable addons included

I’d feel ripped off even if it was £20-odd mill

 

[ijjysmith]

The issue is not so much the fee as it is we could have paid another club a mere extra 5 million onto a 25 million one to get a soon to be world class left back

We don’t know that’s true at all.

I’m not even that convinced we were ever interested in Tierney at all.

(We should be like but that’s a different story!)

Deeney and Cleverly next

 

[Armaghtoffee]

All going on today. Rather have Tierney

If we are spending serious wedge on a left back it should all be on Tierney. Hopefully this is just to push the deal through.

Originated from the Daily Mail?

100% truth

..I imagine you’re point is about Digne rather Richarlison. More specifically, you’d rather pay the extra for Tierney than buy Digne?

It would never be a matter of Richarlison or Tierney.

Silva knows more about richarldson than any of us do.

Maybe the lad is quality

 

[marsh]

Sell Lookman for like 20m and buy Richarlison for 40m?? Surely not!!!!

 

[DanB90]

You’d all be creaming over him if his name was Richardson!

 

[royalblue66]

Should sack Silva and Brands right now.

 

[Yorkie89]

Richarlison was 4/1 this morning now 1/5 that tells me he is coming. Malcom we only went to 4/6 even though we were in advanced talks this is happening

He’s Radzinski mk II

Ok. I'm going for the positive spin here.

1. Everyone was buzzing at the prospect of signing a £35m 21 year old Brazilian winger who had no premier league experience.

2. Now we are potentially signing a £40-50m 21 year old Brazilian winger who has a full season under his belt at Premier level, during which at times he looked genuinely brilliant.

3. One could argue that the difference price is the "premiership premium". It's not cheap to buy from English clubs, but at least we get something for that which Malcom doesn't have - PL experience.

4. Whilst Richarlison faded badly in the second half of the season, we know that his scintillating form came under the coaching of our new manager, who very, very obviously rates the lad highly.

5. Richarlison is genuinely a left sided player, wheras Malcom looked better off the right from way I saw. Potentially we will have a front line of Rich-Cenk-Theo which has a lovely balance to it.

6. The squad is woefully short of left footed players. Glad we're addressing that. Potentially with Digne to follow.

7. This is potentially the first signing of a Brand(s) new régime. Let's not be those guys who moan all summer that werm haven't signed anyone and then moan as soon as we do get someone.

Good post mate, Richarlison and Digne would be 2 decent signings, get Mina in and I'll feel alot better about the club this coming season. Still think we need better quality and a box to box midfielder and quality centre forward.

With respect mate, if we buy this lad for 50 how on earth can we afford to spend another 30 on Tierney?

We were never in advanced talks.
