Richarlison would cost around £50m - which is a huge chunk of the transfer budget. Spurs priorities are GK (understudy) RWB, LCB, CM...and, if Moura & Bergwijn leave, an extra forward.
For the price of Richarlison, Spurs could get 2 players (maybe paying a little more for them both) in, say, Brennan Johnson and Noni Madueke.

I don't disagree (though I suspect we are hoping the fee comes down if they are relegated). But the question was not whether we should sign him but could we: assuming no better offer, does Richarlison on a 5 year contract see enough minutes and get paid enough to play for Spurs?

Romero, Bentancur and Deki are three signings that have improved the starting X1. I don’t want any more signings with potential unless they’re young kids with low fees, we’ve wasted too much money on garbage to be buying players we hope will improve.

At least it's mostly just shithousing and rivalry between these two. The idea of getting Rudiger in was truly preposterous, the cunt cheated Son into a red, then accused Spurs fans of racism. He/Chesea then got Azpilecuntface to endorce the accusation on the BBC, even featuring us prominantly in an "racism in football" program using that exact incident.
 
The fact there's 1, let alone more than 1 person on this forum that thinks Richarlison would be a good signing proves this place is crackers.
And full of people who should never ever ever apply to be a football scout.

I'd genuinely rather have Sissoko back.

Yep, I appreciate it’s all about opinions but spending £50m for someone to sit on the bench is as fanciful as it is ridiculous. It seems football fans, not just Spurs, live in cuckoo land

He's a barely average football player who is nowhere near good enough.
He's absolutely the reason Everton are where they are. Spunked a shit ton of money on him and a few others like him.
He's a complete donkey and a total prick to boot.

He's a hit by Everton standards tbh. Don't forget they bought Dele, Iwobi, Michael Keane, Cenk Tosun etc.

you're not looking at the bigger picture in the slightest and I hope our scouting system and higher ups don't have the same mentality as you.

Whilst you see it as "50m for someone to sit on the bench" I see it as 50m for a player of proven quality who can operate in numerous positions meaning we wouldn't need to get another attacking winger type player AND a good cover striker which would be more then the 50m combined.

Richarlison can operate on the left and right flank as well as being good up front. "He wouldn't start"? you as well as many as getting over excited about out current run of form which is understandable but let's also not forget how poor we have been in games as well. Having someone that quality of Richarlson who can genuinely compete with Kulusevski, Kane and Son and also get a decent amount of starts as it looks like we will be in Europe next season is a no brainer.

you said Richarlsion is the reason Everton are where they are? hahahahahahha

do you actually watch other games or you just say shit just to say it? go to an Everton forum and say that I'm sure 99.9% of posters will ridicule your post

I completely disagree, like every other club we have a finite amount of money to spend. £50m on an average footballer is not money well spent.
 
Just out of interest, if Everton go down, I assume there would be deals to be done.

Would anyone take any of their players, and if so, who?
 
Question: if Conte and Paratici have scouted Richarlison and really like his skill set and believe he can offer something then really isn’t it something we should trust them with?

We know not all signings work but this forum wasn’t exactly all happy when Juv ‘’rejects’’ Kulu and Bentancur got bought. I mean if Conte wants Lucas and Bergwijn gone and replaced with Dybla and Richarlison and that’s what we do then surely that is backing the manager.

TBH for me that caveat applies to virtually all players..... Regardless of what personal take I bring to the conversation.

If Gallas can win me over then there's scope for virtually anyone to.
