Richarlison

[parklane1]

The club should hold him back until he is 100%.

This for me as well., he has some awful luck with injurys and it will be good to get him back fighting for his place.

Exactly
We can’t have him back again… and a breakdown again..

I want to see what the RSJ frontline looks like. I think it might be our most effective line-up this year.

RSJ you say? Extremely strong, great hold-up, nearly unbreakable, etc etc

Our great success last decade came from a simple DESK, so RSJ has real potential

 

[Terry Cunningham]

Yep
They will be the only team to take him imo
His injuries and whatever is wrong with him now will really drop any suitors

If we could recoup 25 mill sell him. He still couldnt trap a bag of cement, and misses easy chances.

I mean in the sense that they thrive at running behind teams into open space. Neither really do well dribbling against set defenders. They are direct wide players, rather than indirect ones (like Odobert say is). The best attacks have a direct vs indirect balance (perhaps one on either side)

Fully agreed. And while Richarlison offers more physicality, hold up play and "chaos" (for good and bad) he's also somewhat in that category imo. He imo doesn't really fix those balance issues, though perhaps with Solanke there we would still get enough balance, not sure.

Odobert in particular, but also Werner offers more balance than Richarlison.

I feel that Richarlison was bought to replace Kane, but with Angeball things have moved on.
A forward with better pressing and movement is the way forward, thats what we got and Richarlison will soon be on his way.

The mystery illness is also intriguing. Maybe he is permanently crocked and they want to conceal that.
