Rivals can banter us all they want. But this signing makes sense. In an ideal world yes would have loved L Martinez off Inter. But hey ho.
But again with the way signings are done nowadays clubs are not scared to cut their losses. It's not like they pay the whole fee upfront.
So maybe we can take a hit to a certain extent. I think that's one of the attitude changes in the club now. Ready to cut losses instead of just holding on - Royal, Lo Celso etc.
Anyway getting back to Richarlison as long as his attitude is not a problem I actually think this is a great signing.
I even think a front 2 of Son & Richarlison itself could turn out great when we need to change things up. He's a grafter capable of doing the hard work for Sonny to finish.
Imagine Kane setting both of them up
Sonny & Richy lol
He's been brought into to play across the front 3 positions, but interestingly his total career stats show he is most effective on the left. Even maybe a winger?

Opta Joe: Since his Premier League debut for Everton in August 2018, Richarlison has scored 43 league goals; the only Brazilian with more in Europe's big-five leagues in this time is Neymar (50).
Also the argument about him vs Jesus Vs Raphina. It's all subjective.
His market value according to Transfermarket in the current Brazil Squad has him in 9th place - £1.8m off Jesus (£45m) who is 8th and £3.3m more than Raphina (£40.5m) who is 11th.

I would say Richarlison is on the high side of value but this to a degree reflects his importance to Everton and their need for money. They had to push for as much as they could get.
Jesus at £45m is about right, but also reflects that Citys need for money is not so great, he was not a key player for them and they did a fair deal.
For me though their PL experience is worth a lot. No need to acclimatise to the surroundings or the pace.
IMO the Nunez deal is the really OTT one. yes he is younger but £65m raising to £85m is massive. If it works out it may prove value for money over time, but there are no certainties. Will watch him with interest because i heard a lot of hype but wasnt massively impressed with what i saw of him in the UCL...certainly not £85m impressed. For that money you kinda expect the real deal, less promise, more proven.

If he does act and carry on like that then most will condemn him. He’s the pantomime villain that’s for sure , so it’ll be interesting to see what Conte does with him. -----------------------------------------------------------------

If this article referenced Arsenal in any way - even some kind of attempt to laugh at the fact that you have a Brazilian wide player now and we don't - I'd understand. But as it is, I really, really don't understand why this article was posted directly to the Arsenal board... separate to the one on the Sp*rs board.

I don't think you post it on the Totts board and then repost it on the Arsenal board afterwards by accident...

Same as the explain Kane and Son with their diving and play acting.
