Richarlison at Spurs

[ForeverBlue92]

Have you thought that the reason we haven't coped better might be in part due to you not realising his importance?

You could argue that for any player.

We lost Rooney then finished 4th the season after.

Too many excuses get trotted oot by our fans and we moan when we're mediocre.

And because of that fact it was unlikely we'd attract anyone to replace him.

Nah it actually requires nothing more than actual scouting

It was a poor effort in the summer no doubt about that.

That's one season. One blip. Give me more examples.

We've perhaps lost better players, but I think the influence Richarlison provided and his connection with the club and fans is fairly unique in the past decade.

He's one of those players who 'got Everton'.

True but there were many games were he persistently lost the ball trying to take someone on / roll around like Gordon does.

He isn't a world class player he was just a good player in a bang average side.

It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he came back to Everton at some later point such was the “Once Everton has touched you” connection.

Whether that would be a good move for either (they don’t often work out eg Ronaldo, Rooney etc) but still have a feeling we’ll see him back one day.

You may be right about the top part. But, he was one of very few players who saved us last year with his talent, attitude and general doggedness.

It was all combined that made him so special for us. I have a bit of a Kevin Campbell feeling of him: not the best player, but he was priceless in many ways.

 

[Lobster Johnson]

Go'ead Richie. Made up for the lad.

 

[Goat]

He's important because everyone else stinks more than he's exceptional

Hes proper mugged you right off.

I loved the lad but I've seen us lose better players.

Still think he should have stayed as he'll be a bit part player at Spurs for the foreseeable but we needed the dough and he wanted CL togger.

International football is closer to MLS standard than the PL. It's why MO Besic was terrible

Again, we've been in better positions to cope with losing better players.

Backing himself to oust their regulars and playing in Europe.

Why would he stay?

As for your first sentence, I've never seen you say anything nice about him.

EXCUSE ME?

And crap teams inevitably lose good players.

Thats football - you recruit better to replace em.
