Richy has never managed a fully fit season in this league
Toney would score a bucketful
We already have the potential here
What we need now is experience to compliment the youth

That’s not true. In his first 4 PL seasons he played pretty much every game.
Managed 30 in his last season at Everton.
Only dropped under 30 since he joined us.

There speaks a man who is still relieved we did not sign Michael Ricketts.

Chris Waddle
No he didn’t
He wasn’t a starter every game at Watford
And 30 games is 3/4 of a season
That’s a LOT of missed time

He played in 38 PL games in his season at Watford.
Starter or not, he was available.
30 out of 38 is probably higher than average in the PL

I’d be thrilled if we signed Toney. Richarlison isn’t quite good enough IMO and it’s indicative of the entire front line which needs upgrading IMO. I know many disagree and that’s fine.
Yeah I feel like we've been here before
Thing is Richarlison had a minutes per goal of 136 in the league last season which was easily the best at the club (Son was over 170) and would have got 25 plus league goals if remained fit.So yes, you can call him out for injury problems but for not being good enough? I'm not buying it, and I don't see many/any better options bar the obvious few who are out of our range.....

I concur, I am also not sure it matters to much who is upfront if we still set ourselves up like an u12 side and no real DM with just one game plan

Chris Waddle
It may be
But if he is our only option he needs ti be fit for 38 league games
He isn’t enough for pre season currently

Overall play not good enough IMO. The majority of his goals were tap ins. I’ve said before we can’t rely exclusively on those types of goals. I accept strikers like Kane who scores screamers as well as the easy right place right time chances are rare but we need a bit more from a CF.

That’s a bit farcical to suggest there’s no one who would be more suitable than Richarlison. Kane doesn’t play well for England for a variety of reasons but he’s a shoe in to get 20-30 league goals if he stays fit. We’re not going to win anything with him Richarlison up front.

Was just going to post the same, he has had injury problems here but was a regular player for Everton.

That’s not what I said.
I said I didn’t have any suggestions.
I’m not sure who we could afford who would be a guaranteed upgrade on Richie, so I’d spend the money on someone guaranteed to be better than the hole we have from selling PEH.

Les Bennett
How does that compare to Kane and Son?

So using the 3 as an average for games missed over those years, I don’t see Richarlison as a step down in availability.
Bergvall and/or Gray replace PEH as 4th/5th CM option

They both look like players to me, I think we need a stopper, a football black hole who just kills everything around them, a cheat, a time waster, an absolute clam.
