To Dare Is To Do. said:
Raphinha is very good at LW too, while Richarlison is poor at RW.

Kane & Son are the 2 best players out of our front 3, so it makes more sense to buy a player who can provide healthy competition to Kulu at RW.

Rich means we don't need to buy another back up CF... but he's a worse signing in all other aspects.

He is not "poor" on the right wing.

He has as good xG numbers (0.28) across the forward three positions, in fact he has higher overall player rating on the right wing (but less games) as he does starting as a CF or LW.

Left Wing: 2,720 mins / Centre Forward: 2,954 mins / Right Wing: 1,369 mins

He's not yet an "elite" striker, but we are not looking for one, nor would we get one to play second fiddle to Harry or Son.

Here is a superb article on him:

The data that shows Richarlison is evolving into a complete modern forward

Richarlison's metrics show he is equally effective for Everton on the left, right or through the middle — but could do with shooting more

Bremer, physical dominant.

Presumably the manger doesn't think the same as you, I reckon he'd fancy getting much more out of Richarlison, since coming to the Prem he's had 7 different managers and 1 proper coach (Ancelotti)

People want to shout 'back the manager' to the board but when it comes to players they don't fancy they don't want to know...

If Conte really wants Richarlison fine. But I have t seen a single reliable source quoting that he does and definitely have not heard it directly from Conte
 
I reckon we will get richarlison. Been reading hes told his mates he wants to join us. Will get raphina as well. Conte is like Leo getz from lethal weapon. What he wants is what he gets. Have a feeling we will get burnley striker cornet as back up to kane. Lively and explosive striker.

Yup I’d say if goons get raphina then that is a better purchase for them than us getting rich. Yes he works hard but we need some magic not a bloody work horse. I don’t get this fascination with Rich. His numbers arnt that great for the amount of money wanted. I know we play counter but surely we want to be dominating teams and that’s where the extra skil level of raphina comes in.

If you're going down the numbers route, Richarlison and Raphina are pretty comparable, both playing for struggling teams.

We dominate and we counter, depending on who we play under Conte, to suggest any different is revisionism to suit a weak argument.

The fact of the matter is that both offer a skillset that would benefit us. Whilst you might have a preference, it's irrelevant. We'll get the one that Conte feels will add to the team dynamic, not the one with the best YouTube reel.

we dont need cornet if we get richarlison. thats just overkill, hell never get any minutes at all unless one is long term injured.
 


Very good this season in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig, Josko Gvardiol is targeted by Tottenham. The Spurs have taken information from the German club. The 20-year-old Croatian is under contract until June 202
