The RS were being taunted on here when they signed Suarez and Firminho...i rated both very highly...for me, they are extremely different players to Richarlison.
He looks very similar to Rivaldo i think, i posted this twice yesterday and i think also today to
@Eggs
If you look at the way he moves with his head up and the balance, running style and speed it all looks similar to Rivaldo.
Additionally, he can pass with either foot...has the tricks and composure as well as the unnatural ability to make clever decisions while double marked.
I took a keen interest in him at Watford, not watching every game but focused a lot on him even when he wasnt seemingly performing...he was being double marked + focusing a lot more on defence as the style totally changed to a more negative style.
Im not saying he is the next Rivaldo...but i think they do share some similarities, what do you think;
We both rave about Dowell...
Non-stop youth internationals then a season of football (Forest/Watford)
1-- Both had great starts to the season but tailed off
2-- Both had a negative manager join and push them back + change the teams style
3-- Both have clear talent and need games under an attack minded manager who focuses on improving them
4-- Both are game changers who have performed in international youth tournaments
If we fast forward 3 4 5 years and both Dowell and Richarlison are full internationals + playing every game in a title winning Everton team...would you look back on this signing as a turning point?
The key is to add to the Dowell, Kenny, Holgate etc age group as much as possible and build a 1st rate squad....2 signings like this per season are needed.
Also bolasie out for £15mil and this effectively becomes a £20mil upgrade by the new management team.
