Richarlison bid of 60 (sixty) has been accepted for the sulking, overrated, cheating Everton player who doesn't even start for Brazil unlike Raph who is arguably there standout atm.
If we accept anything less than 60 for Raphinha, then we're being run by mugs.
Grealish 100 mil
Maguire 80 mil
Richarlison 60 mil
Where does Raphinha fit in that 3 man list? 🙄
Jansson 5 mil
Roofe 7 mil
Kasper 1 mil
We really don't get good value do we ....
Seriously Leeds....

And only little spurs have gone in richarlson.

They’ve already got a better back up winger in Lucas Moura, lefts face it, he’s a 60m cup player/bench warmer

Shaun needs to delete these 2 clowns posts.
As for the actual debate. I would expect a lot more for Raphinha than richarlison.
Raphinha for me is better attacking in open play and set pieces. He also tracks back better. Whilst Raph does offer some petulance it is nothing on Richarlison.
I’m amazed anyone would pay £50-£60m for Richarlison. I’d put him more at the £30-£35m bracket maximum. Watched quite a bit of Everton least season and he spent most games rubbing his head, feigning injury, diving and moaning. His body language is team demoralising at times. Wouldn’t want him anywhere near the Leeds team.

Pretty much agreed with all of that apart from deleting there posts as they've seemingly buggered off now 😅

Richarlison and Raphina numbers are very similar. Same age.
Richarlison more established for Brazil and had longer on his contract and more versatile.
neither worth what they are going for , but richarlison prob deserves slightly higher value
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Really have no idea why Spurs are willing to pay that amount for Richarlison, he is certainly nowhere near the same quality as Raphinha. You only have to watch them play a bit to see which of the two is stand out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Richarlison plays on the left, will give Spurs more balance. They also have Kulusevski on the right who is brilliant.

They will have signed Richarlison because they will see that he has the ability to do a similar job to Kane in link up play. Obviously not to the same standard. But still a pretty good standard.
And he will also be able to cover the two wider positions in the front three.
Very few players out there will be able to do both jobs to a good standard. I think he’s a drop off in standard to any of the front three spurs have. But they won’t mind that as they finally have cover for Kane that they can utilise without having to drop Kane. Which makes it value for money, especially with wages and is why they have IMO been prepare to pay top dollar for him.

Pretty much the long and short of it. Sometimes clubs will pay over the apparent odds to ensure they land a player that totally matches the profile they're looking for.
Worth remembering too that Conte has put himself in a very strong position in the short time he's been at the club, and has a reputation for walking when a club fails to meet his demands in the transfer window.
Considering the additional guaranteed income just from the CL group stage, it's understandable that Levy for once might have thought it worth finishing the business rather than wrangling over 10M or 15M-odd.

the two most sensible posts on this thread,
Is he over priced, yeah course he is, then again every player in the EPL is overpriced to a stupid amount.
Richarlison puts out the same numbers as Raphinha. can cover three positions that Conte uses in his formation. Like you said he can fill on for all three Kane, Son & Kulusevski. I think he is alright, good runner, works hard gets on the scoresheet.
Nothing special.

I think Raphinha is the better player and would start for Spurs on the right with a fully fit squad, whereas I don't think Richarlison does.
but Richarlison fixes Spurs biggest problem which is not having cover for Kane. And Spurs don't need to improve their right hand side. The difference won't be as big as the drop off they have when Kane isn't available and they have to change how they play.
Raphinha's number might be similar to Richarlison but they are not similar players at all. Most sides would prefer to sign Raphinha because he is the better player.
But Richarlison has a lot to his game that Raphinha can't do which makes him the preference for Spurs needs. Richarlison's profile is more unique than Raphinha's too. I guess that the situation Spurs find themselves in is quite unique as well. So I don't think Everton could push his value up with a bidding war like Leeds are with Raphinha. but they can use the fact that it's obvious Spurs have a major problem that not many players can solve and rely on the fact that they can't go elsewhere.
Raphinha is more likely to improve Spurs' starting 11 and Spurs would prefer him if they're in the final of a competition. But would see Richarlison as the player that wins them more points over a 38 games season.

*Spurs would prefer Raphinha in a final assuming Kane is fit obviously.
But that's why they prefer Richarlison over a 50 game season because Kane can't play every game

What is going on at Leeds? They barely escaped relegation last season: they seem to be having a clearance sale, are they short on cash. or talent, or both? Do these players want to leave, if so, "why?"
Trading their better players is not going to cement their status in the PL. This club has a great history and a loyal fan base. Management(?) should focus on making the team stronger and more competitive.

Agree but what can you do when your best players want some CL action?
