Richarlison

We'll never replace Kane, he is unique. We need a 19+ a season goal scorer just to replace his goals.

Richarlison got 11 from 28 in the league this year. Not all appearances were 90 mins and not all as #10.

I understand the need for competition, but think we would have to spend a lot of money to get better for Ange's system. And that's a gamble. We don't have great form spending big...

If Richi can stay fit for a whole season, and play at 10, I could see him getting 20 goals in the league.

9 goals in 14 PL games as a CF according to Whoscored

That's a good return.

If Richarlison wasn't already here and just had stayed mostly fit somewhere else playing for a decent side as a striker I think we would be linked to him and quite a lot of our fans would have wanted us to sign him.

Unless we're spending close to £100m on a striker I doubt we'll get someone that's a clear upgrade on him. Not exactly a ton of top quality strikers around, just look at the recruitment of teams around us.

Think we need another striker. Don't think Veliz or Parrot are ready for the step up to be one of two striker options for us. But it will probably be someone fairly close to Richarlison's level.
 
They’re just not the same force they were even 20 years ago let alone their team in the 90s or going back further to the 70s. They’re simply a good team now but there’s at least 4-5 teams in the world that are better than them.

but we've always had amazing strikers in our history - clive allen, sheringham, berbatov, defoe, keane, son etc I've watched.
maybe not one better than kane for a long time but any one of those and we wouldn't miss kane as much
 
The intriguing thing about Clive Allen is that he wasn’t the fastest strongest tallest trickiest or able to blast it or score curlers or freekicks or anything special over his whole career, but we set up chances for him one year and he stuck them away so tidily.

E.g. Lankshear or Donley or Solanke or Johnson or whomever may not be the best at anything on paper but might just score a load of chances
 
Is he going to get any pre-season minutes? one friendly left, I know he's been injured but not going to be ideal for him or us if he's still catching up during August and September.

I like Richy but can't help but feel we're going to get another season where he's unavailable for a decent portion of it.

He needs them
If he is out only striker come the start of the season he needs to get fit and stay fit

I've written a few times we need a goal scorer doesn't have to be a centre forward (whatever that is now days). Allen was a classic case along with the likes of Archibald, Lineker and Crooks none would be classified as a CF.

How long has he been out for now? If we get a decent offer from Saudi then I’d take it personally. Had multiple spells on the sidelines last season.
