Player Richarlison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
If a club like PSV or Aletico Madrid came in I'd be fucking shocked.
He played best for Everton as a sorta-inside-left if I remember correctly. He has Son (Captain) and Solomon as his competition there so probably not going to get a lot of chances other than at centre forward. Has never convinced me as a centre forward to be honest, hopefully Ange can get a tune out of him as there isnt another option for the middle role yet.
Richarlison struggles in central role
Goalscoring pedigree is the most important feature of any team, and Kane's departure will have Spurs fans worried.Kane leaves the Premier League as Tottenham's all-time top scorer with 280 goals in 435 appearances.
He leaves behind big boots to fill but, in the short term at least, Brazil forward Richarlison looks set to try and answer Postecoglou's call for goals.
Unfortunately for Spurs and their fans, Richarlison did very little to ease their concerns as he cut an isolated figure. In a quiet first half, as Spurs dominated with 66% of possession, the forward touched the ball only 16 times.
Romero was the only Spurs outfield player to touch the ball fewer times (10) before being taken off in the 14th minute.
The above is from BBC's match report. Ange seemed to suggest we are not looking to replace Kane presumably after speaking to Levy. Hopefully just a ruse to stop clubs putting silly prices on players but I am concerned if he is serious. Yet all 3 forwards were poor today and we relied on defenders getting both goals. Cannot see that lasting and with all 3 forwards not playing well we need to spend the Kane money now or goals are going to be hard to come by.
Very hard to see him ever becoming anything approaching prolific so we absolutely need someone else with Sonny on a long spell of poor displays .He could pop up and score a winner here and there but nothing like enough if his form to date us any guide .
The main thing that’s got me keeping faith with him is that he tends to score a lot of goals when the ball is pinging around in the box and falls to him. He’s brave and will get his head or a foot to loose balls other wouldn’t. We should see plenty of that if our wingers perform and get the ball in the box. Otherwise, he’s very static for what we need.
A goal could work wonders you would think the longer his drought goes on it will play on his mind. I would love if he proved me wrong but going on his stats to date I won't be counting on him to score many .
I think becoming a better footballer will help him more.
He’s not fucking good enough, the odd goal here and there doesn’t change that.
Got this from Beeb, think it perfectly describes one of his main issues...
"Richarlison's lack of a first touch means his second touch is a tackle."
"Richarlison's lack of a first touch means his second touch is a tackle."
There, fixed it.
Yep the quicker we get in a striker the better.
No fucking idea mate, let me know when you find out
Please don't get my hopes up
Could be a goer.
That is one thing we're particularly shit at, that Chelsea is/was particularly good at, which is knowing when you've made a big mistake and just cutting your losses ASAP. We'll defo be giving him this season to show us just how out of his depth he is
Yep, ditto Son. So boring and predictable, this ownership never learn. One of those two needs to go to enable a shit hot attacker into the front 3
