[SIGNED perm] Richarlison

I understand that the objection from Liverpool and Bournemouth has been lodged and fully expect him to be prevented from playing until it's been decided upon.

My source has no idea how long this will take, but don't be surprised if on Friday a tale comes out about him not being available for Saturday due to a "slight niggle", or some such nonsense.

 

Nah...don't worry Richarlison (who should be match fit) will come on second half to seal a 3 - 1 victory for the Horns. Klopp looks on livid as mistakes in 'Pools defence cost them again. You heard it here first!

 

Can you sign Boro players for PL Fantasy Football though?

 

Chas and Onion!

Welcome to you!

 

Niang was basically that. I think this guy is basically a like for like swap, but should be a bit more motivated.

As a side-note, I don't really care so much if he turns out to be not all that, just as long as it means Amrabat stays on the bench.

 

Agree with the Niang observation.

As for Amrabat, I can see Richarlison playing on one side and Andre Gray (if he does sign) the other, Deeney in the middle with Pereyra just behind him when fully fit. Amrabat as back up wide man.

 

Possibly. I doubt there will be too many crosses going Into the box though with those 3. Will be shoot on sight !

 

You were doing fine until I got to the last sentence. I would substitute someone, anyone for the 'Bat...Feminia, Zarate?

 

Zarate I see competing with Pereyra and Femenia will be playing right back while Janmaat is getting his 9 month course of physio in the treatment room.
You're right though, Amrabat to move on at some point.

 

will zarate ever play for us again? I've written him off tbh

 

He is a long way off fitness. Doubt he will be in the first squad

 

I'd completely forgotten about Zarate who, I thought, in the 20 minutes or so he managed for us, looked very good. Will he be available any time soon?

 

The main difference is that Niang didn't track back that much and when he did he wasn't a great defender. By all accounts Richyboy is hard working similar to Perayra in that respect (of working hard for the team) but his drawback is apparently that he can be selfish on the ball. We shall see.

Btw We still have a 5m offer for Niang on the table.

 

Objection! Please restrict your bitter, pinko ramblings to the politics section!

 

Guy at Esso says no.

 

can we stop talking about Simeone now?

 

Yes. But that is because you are in Amrabat denial.

 

My club is Palmeiras(Palestra Italia) from the State of Sao Paulo and is very rich tbh.
But you guys really should "buy" Fluminense. Their academy - Xerem - is fantastic. Right now they have at least two potential wc LBs U-20 and some great wingers.
They created a team in Europe - Fluminense Samorin, i think its in Slovakya, where they send the youngsters to play there for some months, to teach them how to adapt in europe.

I know more about Richarlison because i follow youth football and inferior divisions; and he was the main responsible to lead the small America from the second division to the Serie A. Then they sell him to Fluminense and got relegated again.

Palmeiras made a €10 millions offer for Richarlison last month, it created a great confusion among Fluminense supporters and they refused to sell.

 

Thanks for info Capitao.

In your opinion how does Richarlison compare to Jesus at the same stage of their careers i.e. 1-2 seasons of top tier Brazilian football.

 

How do they compare?

Jesus was already turning water into wine and creating fish from thin air at the age of 20

 

Yeah but what was he like in the air ?

Walking on water is not much good unless you're playing in England in 70s

 

Er, wasn't he supposed to be about 30 when he did that?

 

Is hard to compare the careers because Richarlison was injuried in the feet two times in 2016 and had a tough beggining at Fluminense.
Had bad luck because he would be in the Olimpic NT if not for the injuries.

Gabriel Jesus is very smart. He saw that Brazil is lacking a top 9 and changed his position from winger to CF.
Some journalists were trying to make Richarlison realize that he's a 9 early this year, but apparently he doesn't to play there.
I'm sure the european coaches will easilly realize he's a wide 9 and convince him to change.

This is a plague now in Brazilian football, all the kids want to be wingers, nobody want to play as 9.

I dont think Gabriel Jesus is better than Richarlison at all. GJ can't finish with the left.
If Richarlison was playing for Palmeiras in 2016, instead of Fluminense; he probably would be in the international position of Gabriel Jesus now.

What i mean is, Richarlison is not balon d'or material like Neymar; but if GJ can be a starter at some big european club, Richarlison can do it too.

 

Thanks

 

As long as he's as good as fat Ronaldo I'll be content.

 

Hung on a cross for six hours once. He's nailed on to score

 

It sounds exciting!

 

Just like Billy Jennings ?

 

parece que temos mais um torcedor em sampa agora! beleza!

 

Now he could hang - iy was as if gravity suspended itself for a split second

 

I fear you have me at a disadvantage sir!

A quick Google shows that he played for us before my time, moved to Wet Spam and ended up at sh*t-town.

 

Just before my supporting years too but he apparently used to get up really early,as if he'd mistimed his jump, but then just hang there.

 

I'm told he borrowed some skyhooks from the main stand

 

Voce é Portugues? A familia do meu pai vem de Portugal: os Correa.

 

Always count on him to perform well in double fixtures on Easter bank holiday
