Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Kenshin]

Richarldson last season he played over 12 months continuous football

So very hard to judge him after Christmas if he was knackered

 

[Pettifogger]

Based on the first half of the season he was worth about £35 million in today's market.

Based on the 2nd half of the season he looked a £5 million player.

If , big if we are paying £40 mill + then we've been had over just like Sigurdsson

Gylfi was an overspend but we knew it and we knew he was solid, if not elite

This would be something else all together

imagine the meltdown when joyce confirms this at 10pm tonight

 

[efcjames]

It’s got Martinez raiding Wigan written all over it.

The fact that no one wants to hear

 

[blue61]

Smells of Steve Walsh

If true, it smells of Everton settling their financial differences with Watford re poaching Silva, which could have been very costly.

Pete is an aggregator of news.

Top rope stuff this, from Papes who is out for murder

Ok. I'm going for the positive spin here.

1. Everyone was buzzing at the prospect of signing a £35m 21 year old Brazilian winger who had no premier league experience.

2. Now we are potentially signing a £40-50m 21 year old Brazilian winger who has a full season under his belt at Premier level, during which at times he looked genuinely brilliant.

3. One could argue that the difference price is the "premiership premium". It's not cheap to buy from English clubs, but at least we get something for that which Malcom doesn't have - PL experience.

4. Whilst Richarlison faded badly in the second half of the season, we know that his scintillating form came under the coaching of our new manager, who very, very obviously rates the lad highly.

5. Richarlison is genuinely a left sided player, wheras Malcom looked better off the right from way I saw. Potentially we will have a front line of Rich-Cenk-Theo which has a lovely balance to it.

6. The squad is woefully short of left footed players. Glad we're addressing that. Potentially with Digne to follow.

7. This is potentially the first signing of a Brand(s) new régime. Let's not be those guys who moan all summer that werm haven't signed anyone and then moan as soon as we do get someone.

If and only if this is true, keep in mind it will absolutely not be £40m-£50m up front. No chance.

There will be clauses all over a move like that.

Lol like that’s gonna stop people using the price as a stick to beat him with if he doesn’t get a goal and assist every game.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Richarlison is a decent player and would be welcome here - but it's the fee that will be the issue

Hopefully it's about £20-25m upfront with a load of unobtainable addons included

The issue is not so much the fee as it is we could have paid another club a mere extra 5 million onto a 25 million one to get a soon to be world class left back

 

[ToffeeJord]

Watford are hardly the best team in the league to play for? He was playing glorified fullback after Marco left. He’s a 21 year old Brazilian and wouldn’t supprise me if Watford leaked the price before Everton could to appease fans.
Will be a success here and Marco can get the best out of him.

[hktoffee]

Thought the exact same. Like a really really expensive Kone.

But hopefully not true.

Similar to the level like £13m for McCarthy in 2013.

But spending cash is good and the manager and dof will be judged in a year time.

 

[ijjysmith]

Lol like that’s gonna stop people using the price as a stick to beat him with if he doesn’t get a goal and assist every game.

True true.

 

[SerenityNigh]

TBH, I'm more worried about his terrible name than whether he's a terrible player, but both of those views may change after I watch him wearing the blue

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

I must say he was brilliant in that madcap game which finished 3- 2 last season.
