The issue with Richarlison is his fitness, not his performance.Would you say £65m for solanke is more, or less mad than £60m for richarlison?
For Watford and Everton, he got 5, 13, 13, 7 & 10 PL goals.
Until last season, Solanke was well behind Richarlison, who himself wasn't at all spectacular. But last season he was much better than any prior Richarlison season.
Here's the catch though. They're the same age. If we're forgiving Solanke for prior seasons, surely we have to forgive Richie and give him another shot? He showed some level of promise last season.
I'd sit him down and ask him where his head and body is actually at right now.
Richie AND Solanke as options would be a statement. Swapping one for another is probably just a sideways step that only really helps the HG quota.
You asked for signals, I gave you one.
You seriously expect to get a "balanced" viewpoint from the fans of other clubs? LOL.
If we don’t go for eze bcos of the payments how about involves from SP? I said last year we should have gone in for him. Real quality player.I agree to an extent, that's why I think prioritise an eze over a solanke.
If we get both then it'll be decent.
If we got osimhen plus eze, people would think this club has turned a corner.
For now, it really hasn't its just business as usual more of the same.
The head doctor has gone too. Hope that helps our terrible medical department.

Postecoglou explains reasons for sweeping behind the scenes changes at Spurs
In part three of football.london's chat with the Tottenham Hotspur boss he spoke about changes behind the scenes at the north London clubwww.football.london
It's not just in recruitment either that big changes have occurred. Spurs' long time Head of Medicine and Sports Science Geoff Scott has left the club after 20 years. The New Zealander had become a familiar face at matches as a physio and at Hotspur Way.
Biggest issue for me with Richarlison is how little he is actually available. Seems to pick up injury after injury.Post of the day.
You don't need to be an expert to see that Richy is a busted flush, injury prone and even when fit cannot hold the ball up worth a shit.
Bitches constantly, and looks fucked after the first thirty minutes. As bad a signing money wise as N'Dombele.
Mistake made, move on and get rid.
we need 2!If we have already signed a #9 then it might help him to understand.
not us but.............

“Antonio Conte's ultimatum: striker, midfielder and winger within 48 hours or it seems he is ready to resign. Stellini ready to take over, has given his ok"
100m?
PEH 16m
Emerson 16m?
Parrott 7m
Rodon 10m
49m roughly so far not sure where you think the rest is coming from?
we need 2!
If Solanke comes in it's to supplement Richy not replace him.
we have so many games we need at least 2 strikers.
Son isn't good there.
Unless they feel one of the young guns is good enough to step up.we need 2!

It was both for a while though, let's be serious. And I think it's as much his head as it is his body.The issue with Richarlison is his fitness, not his performance.
Absolutely. Kyogo could do well for us.I'd take him for a year or 2 if it means we don't spend 65 mill on Solanke
