Richy hasn't scored more than 13 goals in a single season for various reasons so I'm not sure you can call him one of the best strikers in the league.

Richy hasn't scored more than 13 goals in a single season for various reasons so I'm not sure you can call him one of the best strikers in the league.
Right but we aren't frantically searching around for his replacement, that is a pretty loaded statement implying something that isn't true to drive your point home.... a point with very little basis other than we are looking to bring in an extremely talented player.
Your last paragraph doesn't really track for me.... why would they have that assumption when even a modest amount of research, of which they absolutely have the resources to do, would show them otherwise.
The idea the club would invest 30M on an assumption that Tel would appease the fans is really out there man.
I think this window has broken you.
Look up G/A per minute from last season for Richy. He's quietly been very good when he's played. Fitness is his biggest concern. Infact, compare their G/A over their entire PL careers and Richy blows him out of the water, and spent a large majority of that time not as a 9.
I too don't think he'll start favourites thank God, but when we play Dom, we're playing a striker that a midtable side would play, out ambition is 'to win the league's apparently, he's well short of that.
Even when he has chances, you never back him to score, it was a blind panic and it won't be til next season before the club reassess the situation because of the money spent.
The in form being a very small sample size that usually lasts 5 games. Right now he's on it. We saw a similar level during the winter of Ange's first season. It never lasts long.
But look at them goals against Burnley. World class finishes. He's scored them for Brazil in world cups too. He's got a very high ceiling when he's on it. Capable of things that Solanke could never dream of doing.
Just totally unreliable!
If we just look at finishing Dom has been more clinical than Richy throughout their careers and it's not super close. I'm pretty convinced Frank gets a similar output out of Dom as he did Ivan tony tbf.

Chavs are after Fermin Lopez, didn't think Barca would sell him tbh but they need money. I find it hard to believe that Chelsea would go for both him and Simons.
There's an opportunity there if the money is right (wages mainly as the transfer fee wouldn't be a problem for either).
I think Lopez is going to be the dog's bollocks. Simons very good too. Either player improves us.
So in summary I fully expect neither to join us.

Something seems off with Simons. Strange that only Chelsea were after him and now they are going cold on him. He must have a bad attitude or something. Amazed he doesn't have a list of clubs looking at him.
Here we go with the happy clapper nonsense
Id rather, all day, every day, be a happy clapper than a miserable bastard who can't wait to shit all over a 21-year-old getting up to speed playing in the toughest league in the world
It's not about what I have seen in him.
I listen to people like you write off player after player thinking you know what ability a footballer has after watching them play a handful of times.
Anyone watching any of our players in the second half of last season wouldn't rate a single one.
You feel you have seen enough, more power to you. I haven't and I guess time will tell who is right...

So we know that the club are scrambling right now, not even Levy is obtuse enough to not want to get something over the line with regards to a creative type in attacking midfield or a winger. I'm sure they'll manage some kind of band-aid. Hopefully we manage to fluke something worthwhile, regardless, the process can only be deemed a shambles.
My guess is somebody like Paqueta. Think they want another player with experience, physicality and quality. Don't feel as if it'll be Akliouche, BEK etc

Yeah it's a weird one isn't it. Might be a good player but if his attitude is dogshit I imagine that'd put off a lot of clubs.
They would absolutely sign both if it meant fucking us up the ass sideways.
So, you are basing the fact you think he's a good player on absolutely nothing.
Sound logic. Can't argue with that. Nice one.
Keep on clappin those cheeks for baldy
Goal involvement every 180 mins in the prem last year.
He signed none of those players lol . Paratici and Gabanni signed Vicario. As he did Vuskovic when he was 16 before he could actually join ditto Van der Ven, he also scouted and signed Sarr. Bentancur Kulusevski. And Spurs worked from his list post the ban which Maddison and (Sadly) Dragusin were on.So you were still wrong then.
I hope this helps too.
Off the top of my head i thought Lange had.
Those three aside Lange has made some good signings.

Wowzer!!! That's £65m well spent right there.
Levy will invest it all in 30 year bonds- that’ll help save us from doing a Leeds!
I never said he was a good player.
I said he hasnt played enough for anyone to know.
You are the only one claiming to know something here.
In a team that Ange setup poorly
Do you understand football at all? Or what the word context means and how to apply it to a situation outside of your own inflated opinion?
He does post ads on his X, there's one from today if you scroll back to 11:23. Seen him do a few different betting companies, AirBNB etc. I think verified X accounts also get a share of ad revenue if they get over a certain amount of views which I'm sure he easily does during the window.
