They need to convince Richy not Spurs
I can’t see him going there. But you never know in football.
If we have already signed a #9 then it might help him to understand.
You'll have to change your name.
Ideal transfer window imo:
IN:
Gyokeres, Neto, Eze
OUT:
Richarlison, Lo Celso, Solomon, Skipp, Emerson
Net spend of £150m, not crazy compared to our rivals in recent seasons.

Isn’t that all the Scum need him to be?
We need more than one striker ideally.
Would you say £65m for solanke is more, or less mad than £60m for richarlison?£65m for Solanke does seem mad. Without getting in to whether I think he’s the right signing or not as that’s already been done to death in this thread:
I’d take him for Richarlison to Saudi and £5m to Bournemouth from us though.
For Watford and Everton, he got 5, 13, 13, 7 & 10 PL goals.
Until last season, Solanke was well behind Richarlison, who himself wasn't at all spectacular. But last season he was much better than any prior Richarlison season.
Here's the catch though. They're the same age. If we're forgiving Solanke for prior seasons, surely we have to forgive Richie and give him another shot? He showed some level of promise last season.
I'd sit him down and ask him where his head and body is actually at right now.
Richie AND Solanke as options would be a statement. Swapping one for another is probably just a sideways step that only really helps the HG quota.
Neither Palace nor Bournemouth want to sell so t hat’s two release clauses of over 130m and another, say 10-20m on Neto, up front (unless we negotiate higher fees with spread out payments).
Of course, not accounting for past transfer payments due.
I can’t see us doing that — I doubt any club in the EPL will.
If we do, and I’ll be super-surprised, then it will probably hamstring our budget for the next couple of years.
As much as posters think that bringing in better attackers is going to make a huge difference, I’m not convinced. I honestly think that strategic tweaks in how we defend (short of signing a world class 6) will make a greater difference.
I thought we did pretty well against a top club with top talent. We lost narrowly 2-1. Though obviously a lot of our players could have played better, nobody needs to feel ashamed of losing a close game against Bayern.
Ideally you don't want to start Ben Davies against opponents this strong. He'll be fine against most of the others though.
Guess you could say the same for solanke.Where were all these Gyokeres fanboys a year ago when he was playing for Coventry
I didn’t want richi at the time his age, injuries, constantly offside and goals record
What happened to Leeds was the best thing to ever happen......for Levy.
Poached a few players who went on to be Spurs legends and had an excuse to fall back on for 2 decades not to ever over reach.
We could do with 2 no.9's really.
Hopefully better than his eye for Johnson
Maybe but Richie has said he is going nowhere. He has a contract and unless he changes his mind then that is the end of the matter.
