I'm not sure Perisic is considered to play as RWB. As far as I can see, he was used on the left side in Conte's last season with Inter.

They have deep FFP/financial issues, so it seems they have to sell. Richarlison also only has two years left on his deal and I imagine he's not dying to stick around Everton forever considering they've finished 8th, 12th, 10th, and 16th in his time there.
If he's not going to resign, this would be the summer to move him for maximum value. I personally think he'd be an amazing fit here.
I think it is because he is right footed and played right wing at points earlier in his career. It’s basically to see if a Kostic - Perisic wing back is doable but if Perisic loves the left obviously not.
Yeah, let's squash that one immediately. Perisic has never really played on the right in his career as a WB or winger. He'll only be playing RWB if we're having a selection crisis.
RWB is such a weak spot player wise, we haven't really been linked to anyone interesting and just light internet scouting is pretty uninspiring. No idea what we're planning there.

Yeah, Richarlison's goal scoring numbers are pretty similar to Gabriel Jesus who has played in front of KDB, Silva (x2), Mahrez, Rodri, Grealish, Gundogan, etc. whereas Richarlison has had Delph, Davies, Gomes, and a bunch of other Everton wasters.
My issue with Jesus isn’t even his goal numbers. It’s his all round play, if he doesn’t score you barely notice him on the pitch, Richarlison on the other hand is a bully, yes he play acts but he puts the opposition under pressure, Jesus doesn’t. Jesus is decent technically but he has 10 shit games for every 2-3 good ones.
To me Jesus is a typical Woolwich player. If Woolwich have a run of 4 wins he will have a few goals along with Saka and Smith-Rowe when Woolwich are on a bad patch he will be missing.
They actually have good cover in that position with Calvert-Lewin. So I'm sure they'll sell one of them. More likely Richarlison.
Yeah, Richarlison absolutely busts a gut and works his socks off all game.
He's one of those players you hate when they are on an opponent but love when they're on your team. His attitude reminds me a lot of young Dele, very fiery and lots of shithousery.

tbf, that is about the going rate for a quality winger/striker in the PL, when buying from a club that doesn't want to sell, and the player isn't on a short contract.
I'd rather go for Jarrod Bowen as a general cover for the front line as he's homegrown.
Richardlison is a whiny diving prick but there's a player to mould into a quality forward.
48 hours?
Bowen is good but no way West Ham sell to us, Everton at least have big FFP issues.
I really hope we're not going to use Doherty as 1st choice RWB. All Spence would learn from him is how not to control a football.
Given how much we paid for Emerson, and the fact we're unlikely to get anywhere near that fee back, I suspect it's more likely we sell Doherty after Conte partly resurrected his reputation late last season. There are mid-table clubs who might pay decent money for him.
For me, the wild card RWB could well be Adama Traore, who we were very close to signing before he went on loan to his boyhood club.
It looks like Barca won't be signing him permanently, so he may be available. Clearly, Conte saw parts of Adama's game he thought could work in his system. And I don't see why a loan spell where he wasn't used as a WB would change Conte's judgement.
I'm not convinced Adama is good enough defensively to play RWB. But judging by the Perisic story, & other examples of Conte manically working on a player's weaknesses, our coaches would certainly attempt to instil defensive discipline.
Wow, you add selling those guys to the £150m that’s been reported and our net spend could be as high as £160m!
On a serious note though, it’s so exciting for the club to have business done early and not dawdling until the last day to do something. What a difference it is to have a guy with a plan!
Pep started Jesus over Sterling and Mahrez in big games for City this season though.
He has good touch and link up play. Problem is his finishing, he sometimes has low confidence which is why his goals are far below xG.
I don't really think it's close between Richarlison and Jesus.
The only issue with bringing in Richarlison is that Cuti might murder him.
He’s a diving rat and shit at football. Why would anyone want that turd involved? He’s definitely no better than Berg, and Lucas is a far more likeable fella.
Yes some games but he is City’s only real striker, if he was elite he would expect to be starting all the time. He is the most Woolwich of players, technically nice but he isn’t a fighter, he is a player that is streaky and does well when the sun shines. Richarlison isn’t perfect but for me he is a far better transfer target than Jesus.
