Richarlison is a way more exciting signing then Raphina in that he plays more positions we need, his output is just as good especially in that shit Everton side and he works his ass off way more than Raphina.

Surely just bcos a player works his socks if doesn’t mean we splunk £60M on a player who runs around a lot. When we are the counter and his passing is going to the oppo will everyone still be saying we needed a work horse. I’d rather give a youth player to work their socks off. We need quality and that is raphina all day long.
 
Jesus never got a run of games though because of the quality City have. Any player needs runs of games to show their best, and Jesus has always struck me as one of those confidence kind of players. If he goes there and they make him their main man up top and play him centrally I have no doubts whatsoever he would score 15+ goals over a season, injuries permitting. They have different strengths as Lacazette is more of a hold the ball up and link play type of player, but if I was choosing one for us I'd take Jesus all day, every day. He's just a better all round player and more versatile.

He was getting games but didnt get guaranteed starter all the time because he wasnt producing , liability and inconsistent and Pep like Conte doesnt stand for that. Imagine only scoring anaverage of 10 league goals a season for 6 years in that team (circa 170/180 pl games), with all the chances they create, then take into fact his figures could potentially be artificially boosted because he plays for man city who basically win 2 trophies a year .

Plus he is not a ST or main goal scorer and that is not his forte in his own admission he wants to be wide , confirmed by Brazil coach interview with Tim Vickery, very interesting listen

Good player that Raphina is, Richarlison is a better fit for our squad right now.
I would love both but I can’t see that happening tbh.
Another player that not really been mentioned that would be great for us imo is Neto at wolves

Yea Neto is also top drawer. I’d go for him and raphina far more technical quality. Neves stores dues down but would love him as well.

Any sign of interest in Reguillon ? A lot has been made of how Perisic and how he and Conte will help develop Sessegnon. Could they not equally do the same for Reggie ? He goes through the odd bad patch but he has also had some very good games. He has shown himself able to get forward and for me his final ball is better than either Doherty or Royal. We seem willing to put up with all the bad games Doherty has had since joining yet Reguillon should apparently go before him. Perisic can play on both sides so why not keep Reggie instead. Perisic, Spence, Sess, Reggie and either Doherty or Royal gives us good cover and we don’t yet know if Spence is ready .

Because Reggie absolutely 100% can not defend.

I agree he's better going forward though.

Tim Vickery is the same guy who was puzzled as to why City decided to buy Fernandinho over Paulinho.

True; but bear in mind fans sometimes do mental gymnastics in favour of the player we are more likely to sign vs the player Woolwich are.

If we were closing in on Raphinha and Woolwich were bidding for Richarlison, I don’t think this forum would be split 50/50.

Your right everyone would be saying goons are getting a clogger. I doubt anyone would say we are missing out and that we are buying a far superior player.

He hasn’t scored 20 for City per season in the prem with the best supporting attackers in the league, he may do that but he would have to improve significantly as a player.

He has scored fifty eight goals in six seasons for Pep.

I understand his time on the pitch was limited, but come on twenty a season goalscorer?

Interestingly in his 238 starts he was subbed off 59mtimes or two in every ten starts, hardly encouraging?

Bollocks if he is.

Richarlison is a cunt but a player I love, he is like Diego Costa but who can also play on the wing. My heart prefers Raphinha because he is a lovely player to watch but my head says Richarlison but he would fit like a glove in a Conte team and can cover all attacking roles.

Jensen was a really nice, cuddly player, not unlike Soldado and Pav.

Perhaps signing a cunt (N'Dombele aside) wouldn't be a bad idea for once.
