Agree.
I have a question about Gyokeres who we have been linked with. Is he in one box striker#9 style or the 9/10 style?
Openda can play wide but when I’ve watched him he’s been much more box striker running channels
Richarlison was more prolific than Son and Salah last season.
Good for him, bet the Saudi's would love that.
Only seen him a few times but very impressive. Bit like a Shearer type of player, good hold up play, can run a defender, brilliant close control and decent finisher. I wouldn’t call him a 9/10 but he seems more comfortable doing stuff outside the box than Haaland, Richarlison etc.
Good for Spurs too if he can stay fit.
I think that's generally the problem here...
Other than the fact that he's just not really good enough regardless.
Let’s say he can stay fit, I think 18-20 goals would not be beyond him. That is good, if we lose him then we should be looking at players above that. Pointless if we get rid of him and just get another decent striker, we would need elite.
If Richarlison is sold for £60m and we pump £80m for Goykeres then it makes more sense.
Richarlison scoring 20 goals in a season
Sounds legit
Sounds legit
He's never scored more than 13 goals in the Prem, he's either never fit of never actually been good enough - Even last season the majority of his goals came in a hot streak within 2-3 months, we need our striker to not only stay fit but to actually affect matches if they're not scoring, can't say he was doing that myself.
Don't even think you need an elite striker to improve on him and I wouldn't even say Goykeres is elite although he would be better.
That’s why I don’t like statistics per minute for players that are unavailable a lot. You don’t play much because you sit on bench - then it makes sense to measure it like that. If you’re injured a lot, I would personally include every minute you’re not available for selection as minute without involvement in goal to have a better picture.
Pathetic. Need to get rid. Remember the days when players actually played through injuries.Imagine swapping a player who will be available for the majority of the season vs one who is available for about 1/3 and only shows up for about half of those.

Correct. Stats are false as fuck. Eyes are better.
That should also be a factor.
He doesn’t really. He runs about but I don’t think I actually saw him disposses anybody last season.
You can put up the clips from other games which is the flip side to that where he can’t control the ball and give it away all the time. Bournemouth,Luton and Palace away are abysmal performances from a professional.
I did.
Also saw him close spaces so that teammates could dispossess someone or force a bad pass. There are valid criticisms of Richy but denying he's a fantastic pressing forward is madness.
Form vs Ability is always tough to judge.
Kane in the Euros final being the clearest example possible.
