Do we know what his injury actually is? He's had so many different ones in the last 2 years it seems like his body is starting to fail.

That's probably close to what is happening.
He's played through some of them and his body has likely compensated where it can, which generates new injuries.
If his injuries mean "he's done" then he's not passing any medical at any other club. So why would Base want to sign him up? Makes no sense unless they are excited at the prospect of getting a cut from him opening Supermarkets.
Lots of broken-bodied players still manage to find clubs. Owen Hargreaves, Abou Diaby, Jack Wilshere, etc. Ryan Sessegnon just went to Fulham on a 2 year deal despite his hamstrings being destroyed.
Did they all have a new Agent sign them up to start this long fruitful relationship?
He's done as a primary striker who can play every week at the highest level. We need a striker who works 100% of the game - pressing, chasing, fighting. We cannot carry passengers who need to stop and rest.
He can't play our system, but if a club wants a striker who sticks around up top waiting for the ball, and doesn't have to chase balls and help out in defense - he could play that system. Maybe he could deputize for Haaland
So his injury(s) isn't a career-ending one then? That's all I'm queering. Your post said that his injuries meant he's done as a footballer.He's done as a primary striker who can play every week at the highest level. We need a striker who works 100% of the game - pressing, chasing, fighting. We cannot carry passengers who need to stop and rest.

I mean, we have Romero on 160k, Maddison on 170k
Why would we not pay that for a striker?

What on earth are you talking about - did you watch him play for us last season?
Here are his heatmap and touches in the 4-1 win vs Newcastle.
There are plenty of other examples too.
Legs made of bread sticks will do that to you.
Strikers are hard, we don't want to be on top whack for strikers that don't deliver.
It's been far too common for players here to be injured and when they go in other places they miraculously stop being injured. I think it's more to do with our shit medical department than with the players themselves.
But if we do pay big wages, do we get one who does deliver instead of leftovers?
I reckon Soldado West on big wages which is why we now shy away from guaranteed scorer from another league....as are/ weremost of Uniteds.But if we do pay big wages, do we get one who does deliver instead of leftovers?
At the moment i don't think that link is there, few top quality CFs.

Indeed. He's a hard worker, but he can't do it every week, week in, week out. His body won't let him.
I've no doubt that a fully fit and in form Richarlison is one of the best strikers in the league. Unfortunately, injuries have completely plagued him since we've signed him. He's never had any real momentum before. Last Winter was his best spell of form and he was arguably our best player for a 5-6 game period! Its a real shame but its beginning to look like we simply just can't rely on him
I’ve plenty.
It won't go on. If he doesn't get fit Ange will be ruthless.
Exactly - he should be in his prime and he just can’t keep fit. 6 games out of around 90 across two season. Awful- Move him on and force him out. Make it clear he won’t play a single minute - will do well in a lower intensity leagues
