Richarlison has been physically and mentally where he would want to be for approximately 2 months of his time with us.. But for those 2 months, he was one of the most prolific striker in europe.
I just feel like pushing him out the door would've felt premature. For me, the first approach should be to try and see if we can get him back into that place for a sustainable period of time. If so, then we've got Brazil's number 9.
And the fact that he's turning down the possibility of a massive increase financially, because he wants to play for us. Maybe I'm soft, but that can't be taken for granted and I think that warrants us giving him a further chance.
