scargo 75 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Another waste of money. We have already many talent in same position. Besides, he is not a type(like llorente) that we need Wallace, Piazon, Nathan, Kenedy,, Brazil league prospects have never been successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know this guy at all, but a quick look at what people wrote on him when he was close to joining Ajax/Milan suggests that there is plenty of potential there. Ajax was close to buying him for a very high fee by their standards, and with their eye for talent that is a strong endorsement. Worth the risk in my opinion.

If someone is good enough, they will play. Youth integration shouldn't stand in the way of us recruiting players and potentially missing out on the next world beaters.

Chelsea? 892 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Doesn't seem like he'd be a loan army guy. More likely 3rd choice winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin 835 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Some comments about him from different reddit threads (I personally know nothing about him): "He needs to leave this summer, still quite raw but huge potential seeing as hes built like a gazelle. Milan would be ace but stepping stone in a weaker league would be a good idea. If he tidied his mistakes up a bit he could be a Cristiano lite." "Good up and coming player. Is he worth that much? I don't think so, but after the money that was fropped for Vinicius Jr. nothing surprises me anymore. Richarlison can definitely be worth that price if he continues developing like he has." "He's our second top scorer this season with 14 goals, but is a bit raw, he still has a lot to develop. He can do both (on whether he is a striker or winger), he will be a great striker, he finds himself on scoring positions quite often, but he needs time to develop" "He's been the best talent in that U20 team so far (i.e Brazils U20 team)." "He is worth it. I don't know how David Neres is doing there, but he wasn't proven in Brasileirão yet. Richarlison is already proven." "Agreed. We played against Fluminense yesterday and playing against Richarlison was an absolute nightmare. He drew and scored the penalty last night." "Plays winger or secondary striker, skilful with the ball, almost ambidextrous, relatively fast, and very young. Good prospect!" "Definitely worth 12M, if not more. He kinda remembers me Gabriel Jesus but a bit less physical and a bit more skilful." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know if its only poor scout system or another thing. Definitely poor scouting. From just their YouTube videos is was clear that neither Wallace nor Kennedy were going to be good enough so if their recruitment was about finding potential first teamers then that was a fail. If there was another, financial, aim behind the plan then maybe it was a success. We do not, and will never, know the detailed figures but it is possible. 8 hours ago, Hazardinho Gaucho said: 2 - A strong scout system in Brazil/France/Argentina should be a pretty obvious strategy.

I have not been as impressed by Gabriel Jesus's skill set as many people seem to have been, so I'm ready to believe what you say here. Especially since, unlike the lads I mentioned above, Richarlison shows well in his YouTube videos. Those videos made me want to move on to watching all touches recordings. I was put off a bit though by a post from a Brazilian football watcher who says that Richarlison is not particularly good and that a Fluminense teammate of his, whose name I've forgotten, is a much better prospect.

I was put off a bit though by a post from a Brazilian football watcher who says that Richarlison is not particularly good and that a Fluminense teammate of his, whose name I've forgotten, is a much better prospect. The guy was probably talking about WENDELL(19); Richarlisons teammate. He's a very skilfull box2box who scores amazing long ranges. I agree, Wendell is a superior footballer, but is hard to compare since he's part of the defensive system and attacking players tend to have more highlights in the football world. When you see the media talking about some new Brazilian player, is better to search his name in the papers: O Globo; O Lance, G1; Espn Brasil. The translation Portuguese/English in the Google is pretty good and its easy to realize what's the real opinion on the player. About the guy saying he's not particulary good, of course is an opinion; but Brazilian fans will say that about the vast majority of attacking players..they have a unrealistic standard in their minds. Kaka, Rivaldo, Bebeto, etc; all were booed by their fans in their time. The typical Brazilian fan only supports the club, not the players. Richarlison had two injuries last year and was struggling in the start of this season to gain form; but now you can see he's getting better and better month after month. Dont know if will be wc. Probably. But is NT material for sure. About Gabriel Jesus; he's not a trick winger. More like a player with impact in the games and good IQ to find spaces. Not saying he's average, some players you just dont know why they're good, like Thomas Muller. Richarlison is better than GJ imo because he can finish with both legs with same level. GJ has a weak left. By what i know he's going to Ajax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think a move to a big EPL club would be the best option right now; this loan-system will not work with Brazilians. But i bet he will score much more playing in those impecable pitches and in less hostile environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
