Player Richarlison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We should have called Richys bluff in the summer. " No offers on the table son and you aren't playing another minute for us next season or anyone else in the PL so take the huge amount of Dosh and let's say our goodbyes".
Problem is Richy seems to think he's better than he is and isn't made of glass and by staying here it keeps him in the picture for his beloved Brazil.
Duran took the money and he's 21 , injury free with a promising future. But off he trotted.
Why do we never seem to have luck like that ?

I suspect Levy is slow to reinforce the team when he would prefer the coaches to do whatever they can to help recoup sunk costs on club investments in fees and contracts for players like Richarlison and Ndombele. His and ENICs unwillingness to take losses on players early on in contracts is definitely something that has prevented us from being maximally competitive in recent years. You just know that Ange, as every other coach before him, have had to carry malcontents, contract rebels or have short squads because Levy was reluctant to take big losses in wages and contract value.
 
I'd say unbelievable luck but there's a bit too much correlation around both Richarlison's personal injuries and club injuries generally for me to be too surprised.

It's a bummer though, we absolutely could have used him being healthy right now.

Agree. He’s been out for ages and has struggled for a while with injuries. So what does the manager do, starts him 5 games in a row.

Really, is it any surprise he is injured again?

We are fucking up these players recovery. He was never injured at Everton, Solanke wasn’t at Bournemouth either, yet they come to us and fall apart. It isn’t a coincidence is it?
 
Guy been robbing a living from day one. Absolute joke of an athlete. One of our worst buys ever. Zero sympathy for him.

If we don't get rid in the summer - even buying him out - we're bigger mugs than the world already thinks we are.

It's beyond a joke how many injury free players we've signed only for them to pick them up left right and centre with us. One or two and you could maybe say it's just a coincidence, but at the rate we're going it's just not likely.

I assume this also means all CF minutes will now go to Tel, with Scarlet coming on later in the game?

At this point definitely NOT a coincidence. Ange has demonstrated very poor skills at rotating a squad to maintain either form or health.

I think he/we really tried with Richie , he wasnt giving him full 90 minutes, subbed off early. really tried to ease him back. He's just injury prone, this one not on Ange. Was same under Conte

Wait what? In his last season at Everton he had a calf injury, he also had a knee injury missing two months. Fiest season here another calf injury nothing to do with range he then had a hammie and groin injury before range.

Hence why you get unwanted average players like reg coming back. Levy really hinders our managers.
