Brands on Lozano and Bergwijn

He had played something like 12/14 months without a break

I know he played a load of footy mate, the point I was making though was Brands was saying the reason we paid a load of money for Richarlison was because he had “already shown it in the prem” when in reality, he hadn’t.

Now, even though Richarlison’s form has dropped off of late, the money we paid has been worth it.

I don’t know who the person that isn’t Lozano is.

Think he's the next big player off the Ducth conveyor belt.

Only seen him play twice (in the CL). Was good. Was very good the second time when they played Inter away. Very quick, pretty powerful. Looks a player, tbf.
 
Don’t know about that mate, after a good start Richarlison fell away well before we started showing interest in Silva, at one point under Silva he wasn’t even starting games.
That decline in form could be attributed to the fact he played an entire season in Brazil, then transitioned over to Watford without a break. Richarlison mentioned during interviews encountering significant fatigue during the later part of the fist EPL season and im sure the loss of his mentor contributed as well.

You’re missing the point mate. I’m not saying there weren’t factors in Richarlison having a good start at Watford before going off the boil quickly. The point I’m making is Brands saying we paid all that money for Richarlison because “he had already shown it in the prem” when in reality he had actually had a poor season at Watford when we bought him, where at times he wasn’t even starting games.

Didnt seem to have a poor season to me?

Also people have said he wasnt starting a few games as he had 18months non stop football.
 
Fair enough but I feel even though he wasnt able to sustain the initial momentum of his earlier performances, nevertheless he demonstrated he could make an impact in the league, even if it was inconsistent. So those other factors have to be considered when assessing his potential in the league.

He scored 5 goals Zat, and after a good start he quickly faded away ( I know it was because he had played a load of footy) all about opinions though, you thought he didn’t have a bad season (did you watch him for the season when he was at Watford?) the way I read it when we were looking at him before we signed him he had for the majority of the season been poor.
