I mean, it's pretty much the same as all those people watching an actual fucking apocalypse happening and saying "nah, it'll pass"

Stick to clutching at straws and hoping utterly shit players somehow find form (whilst our rivals move further ahead). I’m ok with giving Richy another season, he will look better under Ange I’m sure but i would still sell of an offer came in
Only being keeping one eye on what's going on the last few weeks but is it likely we will sign anyone to sort out our defence because I hope we are not giving the same crew yet another chance to prove themselves .All the Harry talk and replacement for him could be softened a bit if we could get our defence in shape so a thirty goal striker might not be as vital as it is usually .
This is probably the most manic, depressive post of the last dozen pages tbf....
It's actually been quite light hearted on here in the absence of any real transfer news.
3 weeks out from the start of the season.
*Highly rated goalkeeper that Inter wanted to replace Onana.
*Solomon on a free, PL ready and looks promising.
*Madison, the 2nd best AM in the PL for the last two years. Excellent.
*No CBs yet, but plenty of time in the window.
*No offers for our deadwood yet, but plenty of time in the window.
Glass half full.
One league goal for 60M certainly made me want to cry!
I’m not optimistic but here’s hoping he comes good in Ange’s system.
He was also a double-digit goal scorer at Everton 3 out of 4 seasons.
But let’s continue to focus on last season where he was injured, misused and ridiculed by Conte.

He was on pens for Everton for at least parts of 21/22 and 20/21.
So Richy’sopen play league goals:
22/23 -1
21/22 - 7
20/21 - 6
He did have 13 open play goals in both 19/20 and 18/19 - which is a good return. But Richy has not been a prolific scorer so far in his career.
Again, I hope he comes good under Ange but I’m not optimistic so my point was that if the Saudis offered say 30M, I’d take it.
He may be our best penalty taker post Kane - so that is one in the plus column for Richy.

Just. Basically a 1 in 3 striker at his best
Serious question, how many games did he play upfront for Everton?
Not just Everton but looks like Richy has played #9 about 40% of the time - which makes sense given he was the backup striker to Calvert Lewin at Everton who has been out injured a lot.
30 goals in a 113 games as a #9 - Pretty mediocre BUT in fairness, don’t know how many of those 113 Richy started and how many he came on as a sub.
All of them. He always played in a front 3, no? I guess he was drifting off the left mainly as opposed to being up against the CB’s but still as a forward
That include pens? Anyway, his goal return is ok and I’m not worried about the single goal last season, that was an outlier. What was more concerning was the diving, touch and offsides - that’s not bad luck or bad form. Just the sign of a ooor player
Meant specifically as a striker.
1 in 3 isn't bad as a wide player. That was similar to Son before he joined us. Players like Mahrez, Jota, Rashford all have the same for example.
Using the cause and effect barometer scale I'd proffer the suggestion that thinking about Spurs maybe the root cause of said condition in the first place.
