2021/22 Richarlison

[GrandOldTeam]

We would absolutely have to sign an actual striker with a half-decent scoring record. Imagine DCL does his cruciate ligaments next week and we've got rid of Richarlison and Kean.

There's a different approach though.

I said the same - signing nobody is better than garbage - when we signed Tosun and Walcott.

We weren't achieving anything that season, or being relegated but we wasted a fortune on both and time has shown we got 0 back.

In short, don't go spending a fortune on Zaha.

Selling at this stage is just all round dangerous for us.

Kean going is fine. We'll choose lower valued targets like Jebbison and Patterson, and if they add 1-2m on, then so be it.

But Replacing your star player, and every club in the world knowing we have £85-100m to spend is suicide for a club with horrendous track record of late.

If it's PSG then the price should be whatever they receive for Mbappe. Those filthy corrupt owners can pay Messi 600 thousand a week and have the largest wage bill in world football the least they can do is cough up 150m for Richarlison.

Wisdom.

Don't blame him going to a giant like them who will have a good chance of winning the Champions League. Just annoying it is happening so late as we will panic buy dross and get stung.

Not considering selling, says the man.

I'd rather this, than try and paper over the cracks.

If we sell Richarlison, it's clearly very important we don't kneejerk and panic buy. Signing no one is better than signing garbage.

No matter what happens with Richarlison.

We won't get relegated.
We won't finish top 6.

Build to compete when we have the capacity to do so.

We would need cover if we let Richarlison and Kean both go. We would be a DCL injury away from a potential relegation scrap.

Very, very hard to sell him this window now.

Benitez is still winning the fans round. If Richarlison leaves after he says we're not considering selling, that torpedoes early trust.

I’m sure we weren’t considering selling Lescott, Stones, Lukaku etc

Can blame the board and it not his fault anyway.

Not considering does not mean not selling
