Apparently El Ahli fans not happy with Richearlson, and have hashtag on social media to protest against the transfer :ange-hands-head:
On one hand I get it, on the other hand he's been one of the best goalscorers in the best league in the world if you look at per minute stats, I can't see them getting anyone better than that. His fitness issues will likely be much better in a lower intensity league.
 
They have complicated “weird” system in transfers , the same council negotiate players and offer them for the four big clubs in Saudi so you can pass on Rich and wait for the coming one. But as you say maybe the next one won’t be better.

Ivan Toney is a no go for me actually on simple footballing metrics. He is too old, is stat padded on pens off the work Mbeumo and Wissa. His lack of pace in behind is last thing we need. For fitness reasons Neto is equally bad but his profile at least makes perfect sense because he is good 1v1. Solanke is not my favourite either his 30 million too expensive. But if you objectively look at it he improves our starting 11 due to Richarlisons fitness issues.

Genuinely think we should be looking to seriously close on Villa and for me that's Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Oshimen ( I think he is way better than some here would have you believe) Alec Banea. That's the level we need to acquire and despite what some would have you think, none are beyond our financial ability to absorbe.
 
Right, even I am getting impatient now.

I’ve firmly believed that Levy would step up with a strong football setup and provide money to it once the stadium was built and we had some decent revenue through the door. And I’ve stood by this belief in the face of many on here taking the piss.

But I’m at the point of admitting defeat here. I get the “not as easy as buying a pint of milk” argument, but the window has been open long enough for us to have done some more business. Bergvall and Gray look good, but we need a couple of top quality players in to our first team. And with the money we should have and the infrastructure we have in place, signings shouldn’t be taking this long.

”Hello Mr Player, do you want to join us and if so, what salary are you looking for?” doesn’t seem to be the most time consuming conversation to have. Levy, Lange, etc - fucking get on with it. I’ll admit I’ve been wrong all along unless something major pops soon, but I’ll be fucking furious if I have to.

Could have got Toney or Gyokeres but nah Solanke. Besides you know they have a scouting department whos job is to find top strikers like they claimed they've been doing. Now we are panic buying at the last hour.
By what metric is Solanke a panic buy, when Toney and Gyokeres aren't?

Toney coming off the back of a season where he scored 4, and Gyokeres having never played at a level above the 7th ranked league in Europe, but they're more "considered" buys than the guy who bettered both in the Championship, then scored 19, in the biggest league on Earth, in the last season?
