I think that Raphinha is potentially the best of the three, but the other two would be able to cover multiple positions where he seems to only play RW.
He will want the tray back
I don't have a source to look at but i would suggest that our match day ticket revenue is very similar to that of United and more than Scouse given the cost of tickets at each club?
We would surely make up additional revenue in non matchday events and NFL deals that's surely must be more than shirt sponsorships?
Just a guess?
Raphinha is much better at LW than Richarlison is at RW.
Richarlison's advantage is that he can also play CF.
Yeah, its Richarlison and a creative player or Raphinha and a centre forward. We really need 2 forward type players as Bergwijn is off.

I think we will have the most money generated by the stadium out of any club, United is close to 100m we'll probably be close to 120m.
Where we're losing ground is stuff like the shirt deals, United was getting close to 70m from Chevrolet till last season. Nike pays chavs about 60m a year, as does Addidas to the gooners, we're getting a measly 30m from Nike and about the same from AIA.
Obviously it’s good to have squad rotation and depth but find it so odd that Woolwich would pay 50m+ for Raphinha when they have Saka as they are both specialized RWs who can’t comfortably play elsewhere. Even that Portuguese kid they just bought has played a lot of RW and looks lightweight to play CM for at least a few years.
Saka is their one player I’m actually jealous of and they desperate for a CF. Even LW is more of an issue for them, Martinelli is young and has some promise but I don’t buy all the hype. But the Kroenkes have been giving Arteta a shit ton of money so who knows.
Yep.
Yea I echo this, and that's with me really not loving Richarlison. He's the type of player that I can see people loving if he plays for your side, but I'd be lying if I didn't think he was an absolute twat over the last few years. All of that doesn't take away that he puts out decent numbers in an Everton side that is plagued by issues. The fact that he can play across the entire front line also makes him a very appealing signing.
Jesus is an odd one, I just don't really see him being the main CF for a side, or one that will change the game.
I'd imagine the only way Woolwich pip us to Jesus or Raphina is if they outbid us on the fee or we prefer Richarlison. By no metric are they a more attractive club these days.
We likely know no one else is really in for Richarlison and so we are using the links to alternatives to try for a lower fee. The player's head is turned and Everton know they need to sell this summer.
I'd agree that Richarlison is probably the best fit for us and has that mentality we need and seem to be building with our new signings.
Jesus is a decent cover option and Raphina is a tad overrated for the price.
Hopefully some movement either way by the end of the week.

I find this really amusing, Like Fergie obv just wanted to take our best player for fuck all and we're supposed to criticize Levy for being a pain in the fucking hole to deal with for Ferguson.
Fuck Him and Fuck United.
Richarlson is a massive twat, but he works hard and is decent in the air and versatile. My 8 year old hates him but im coming around to the idea, especially if we can trade some shit in exchange like Winks

Richarlison is a lot less risky than Raphina having plied his trade in the PL for years and not hankering for a move to Barca or whatever.
He's proven himself to be a hard worker too.
Richarlison
Fuck sake man
They probably have Jesus tbh, makes sense for him to go there, especially if the salary rumours are true.
