McCormick Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 On 25/10/2022 at 10:18, The College Dropout said: Richarlison scored 43 goals in 135 pl matches to get that move. Even his Everton move could've been as high as 50m. Raphinha 17 in 65 (and a lot of assists). You don't have to be a world-beater to get that type of fee for a Brazilian international. Expand I see your point but, stats aside, Richarlison was widely considered to be the best attacking player outside the top 6. Basing your business model on the expectation that you’ll unearth a Richarlison-level player every time you speculate on a 30m 18 year-old is slightly optimistic. Thats not to say that what we’re trying isn’t super exciting though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not to say that what we’re trying isn’t super exciting though! Expand Yes that's exactly what I think. I think if you spend £30m on an 18-year old you expect them to be worth £60m when they are 25. £30m gets you a Jack Harrison, Zaha in January. If we choose to spend that on a teenager, we would think that kid has a higher ceiling. That has been Real Madrid's transfer strategy post-Neymar. Sign the best Brazilian wonderkids for a lot of money, in the hope they either become superstars at Real Madrid or at least good enough to be sold for a healthy profit.

Expand Looking back on my old posts, he was first linked with us in early July. My concern then was that he had 54 games, zero goals.

buzza Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 He seems to play right wing or inside right most of the time. His passing is sublime and he dribbles and shields the ball like ben arfa but is able to use his body strength better. doesnt seem to shoot a lot, release s the ball for his team-mates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Interesting that we were linked with Luke Shaw and he's out of contract this year. A few others on the list, which we have been linked to in the past; Asensio, Ndicka for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably Harrison's gone off the boil as well then? Expand I've seen him few times and he has looked really poor and one-footed, with Almiron's form I would be disappointed if we signed Harrison now. Rather sign someone that's better than Almiron right now or a lot younger. Edited October 25, 2022 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Thinking of Andrey Santos and Angelo Gabriel. Because they are both of "academy age" does it count when it comes to FFP?
