feck me another hijack?
£60m doesn't get you the best of the best nowadays (unless there's a release clause as was the case with Haaland). Liverpool spent close to £100m on a player from the Portuguese league with one good season under his belt. I think £60m for Richarlison is a good signing. Extremely hard worker, adaptable, and an eye for goal. He's a very physical player that makes the Spurs frontline of him, Kane, Son, and Kulusevski very fluid and powerful.
Fecking love hijacks. This window is hilarious.
If these reports of Chelsea trying to hijack deals are true it does make you wonder what sort of transfer strategy they have (or if they have one at all)
Thank goodness for that. I loathe him as a player. Would never want him in a Chelsea shirt.
New owner trying to flex is what it looks like. Seems like he wants to be a main character. Can end badly…
No he won’t
You think Richarlison and a 33 year old Perisic playing at left wing back are going to get them close to City and Liverpool?
I think if he keeps all his main players and has a relatively injury free season he’ll challenge for the PL or CL, yeah.
I very much believe in Conte as a manager. He doesn’t go places to feck about and ‘rebuild’, he goes in to win. He’s a winner.
Look at the posts here when he took over Spuds regarding them getting Top 4, and how did that turn out?
He isn’t a guy that’ll be trying to achieve the minimum to cling on to his job and buy more time. He’s a ruthless trophy hunter, and now has a forward line of Kane, Son, Rich, Kulu…
It’s easily good enough to win a big trophy, and so is Conte.
I know imagine having somebody like that on your side. Oh wait don't you have somebody who actually killed somebody in the squad?
Just in general, he’s not in the game to dick about. He’s a top manager who’s in it to win trophies.
Wait he cost 60m? He always seems like the main player for Everton every time I watch them. But i didn't think he'd cost that top dollar price.
Yeah it smells like panic doesn’t it?
I think this season with the World Cup there will be a closer challenge from a few teams…and whisper it Man Utd might just be part of that!
Spurs are spending a lot to back Conte but he's such a loose cannon, would anyone put it past him to combust mid-season? They'd be left with a raft of expensive Conte signings who might not necessarily fit under next manager.
Surprised he’s going for as little as that to be honest. Didn’t he cost Everton 50m? Is his contract running down or something?
We need the money in order to sort out the books for this financial year.
I'd consider taking him for £30m for the squad, but £60m is outrageous. He isn't as good as Son or Kane. He could possibly compete with Kulusevski, but I'm not sure how good he is on the right.
Fair enough. They do have much better options compared to when he joined the club, but they’re all top four level players. Bissouma, Richarlison and Perisic aren’t going to take them to the level of Liverpool and City. They also have top managers with established squads and cultures.
He did well to get them top four no doubt, but it was against a truly horrific United team and Arsenal. He’ll need a whole lot more to get anywhere near the big trophies. I would say there’s lower odds of him leaving half way through the season than winning a major trophy.
I think Chelsea would make more sense for Richarlison than Spurs actually. There's not an obvious route into the Spurs team for him with Kane, Son and Kulusevski already there.
They were smart to get in first then. I take it you don’t need to sell anyone else?
Dread to think about the amount of diving and cheating him, Son and Kane will get up to.
Record breaking levels?
Record breaking levels?
He can rotate with all 3. I agree though, he won't start at Spurs.
Ohh that's a great point! Hush hush can't get my hopes up til signings are official
We will likely offload Kean and probably Gomes too so we have funds available for transfers but this should mean we are safe from any possible sanctions.
£30m?! Good luck. £30m gets you Dan James, not a player like Richarlison.
I would consider £30m a huge overpayment for James too. In my world, James is a £10 -15m player. I'd possibly stump up to £35 - 40m for Richarlison at the very max, but he's just a good squad player level in my opinion.
some wild comments in here! I personally think it is an excellent signing for Spurs, and the fee is about right! Spurs will always struggle to buy a back up for Kane given that he always starts so getting a player in with flexibility that can cover Kane, Son and also challenge Kulusevski is a fantastic move. He'll still play 40 games in a season, some on the left, some as CF and some on the right.
In terms of price, Everton paid around £40m for him and his stock (and inflation) has risen since - Unless you want Dan James then £60m is about right.
Worried about spurs, they've done some god transfer business.

Only 3 more goal than James from open play last season and he was the main striker for Everton, same number of assists.
Don't think that's enough to make him worth £60m.
There’s no value in the market
What's Dan James got to do with anything?
Better players go for less money than Dan James all the time. He's not a barometer. Strange how people pluck these examples out to suit their idea.
As for Richarlison, he doesn't strike me as of the quality to command this sort of colossal money, but I'm sure he'll be a decent player for them.

Agreed
Why is it because he is not European or English? The way some people underrate non European players is insane. I saw Darren Brent's article comparing Sterling to Neymar
Probably not a great sign that the new owner has come in, got rid of a load of execs, appointed himself Director of Football (despite not knowing anything at all about football) and is apparently trying baseball-style player trades.
Now this guy is a proper baller, unlike that Raphinha fraud.
I think they’re on a mad one, but I did read somewhere that as more and more clubs rely on data the player pool will get smaller for the top clubs and hijacking deals will become far more common.
this year no since they are backing him financially. soon as levy closes the checkbook he will absolute implode.
Who are they going to replace him with? Think he is more reliable than DCL recently as a game winner.
Anthony Martial for £30m.
Tony Marshall
