Richarlison


Basically, if a player is good enough and has the desire, you'd be pretty dumb to just rule them out just because they played at the club before. Too often players leave a club, flop a bit in a new environment, then do very well back where they started.

Ask yourself, if he never played for Everton, would you sign him? I wouldn't. I would be looking at someone 5 years younger.

I am not so sure. He is still at a good age and we all know what he can do. He can play wide, he can play in the middle , he seems to be a good character around the squad and he seems to love the club.

He has had a couple of injuries but at Everton he was rarely injured. My feeling is he is very unhappy at Spurs and would welcome a challenge.

At Everton we all know that only for an injury to DCL that Beto would be scoring goals elsewhere by now , the fact that he didn't play was not injury just a managerial preference.
I am not claiming BETO to be a top class striker but I think he certainly deserved more opportunities than he got from SD.

This.

A million times this.

I am genuinely sick of the mentality that loads of us seem to have about players who've been decent for us and then left - you never stop seeing shouts for them to come back. Sensible clubs don't do this - you sell a player and you move on.

I wouldn't mind, but it's not even just the fans who seem to have this ridiculous obsession with re-signing players.

To give you an example - as far as I can work out, in the Premier League era Liverpool have had the following players who've played for them twice:

Fowler, Bellamy, Staunton. (You could argue Rush here, but his first spell was pre-PL)

In the same timeframe, and these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, Everton have had the following players who've had two spells at the club:

Beagrie, Unsworth, Ferguson, Stubbs, McFadden, Pienaar, Gravesen, Manny Fernandes, Jeffers, Donovan, Rooney, Gana Gueye and Deulofeu - there could easily be others, but they've all sprung to mind fairly quickly.

It's properly small time

Pienaar, Fernandes, Deulofeu, Gueye and Rooney weren't bad choices to bring back to Everton. Richy is different, his injury problems are too risky for him to be brought back.
