We can never make any progress, we always regress. Richarlison had his time at the club. His best tally was 15 goals in all competitions 5 years ago. We need better. We need to get away from sentimental signings.
This season in the league and up until now, with just a few games remaining;
Ndiaye is top scorer and has 7 goals (inc pens)
Beto has 6 goals
Every other player has 3 or less.
Personally, if a player has proven he can score goals at this level I’d want them at this club. We might need better to get amongst the very elite in Europe but the best players who can hit over 15 goals a season are never signing for a club outside the champions league places. Richarlison loving Everton is a bonus.
The fact he’d never hide in a game or give up would make me far more inclined to get him here at the right price as well. He’s an upgrade on most of what we have which is what people are already calling for. For the record I don’t believe that source for a second.
