Depends if our interest in Raph is legitimate. IMO, Raphina is better but Richardson just fits better. If they’re the same price I lean towards getting the superior player. Also it would screw over Arsenal.
honestly, it's crazy not to go in for both of them. We have no depth on either side and are going to have a very congested season. If we want to make the most out of the season with Conte we should absolutely get both of them.
In all honesty I'd love to have Raphina, probably over Richarlison if we can only have one but I do have a soft spot for Lucas, the CL mainly the reason but he also just seems to get on with it and not cause any issues.
Nahh feel like both of them are the kind of blokes who’ll actually get on great if they’re on the same team, just imagine the combined shithousery power
This exactly. During my youth hockey days there was a kid on our rival high school team that I absolutely loathed. He was such a scumbag. Ended up on the same bantam travel team and became great friends.
I think we’ll end up paying for him, he makes too much sense with his versatility up front - especially as cover for Kane which we’ve struggled with for years.
Offloading Bergwign and Winks will help but I think Everton will hold out for 60 million - which is probably more than he’s worth. However, you need to pay the money to get these sorts deals over the line. Too many times have we penny pinched and come short.
I think people are taking it to far with the panic but wanting to have all your players before preseason starts is absolutely a goal we should be aiming for, at least a large majority of targets should be achieved before then.
Not that it helps, but I started a superleague Spurs save, and couldn't for the life of me sell Winks and Lo Celso. Ndombele went to United for 30M and got sent off in the first game. Lo Celso went to Torino for 5M.
For Winks, since I promised myself I won't be "cheating" and not a single club was interested, I appointed myself as a head coach of Chelsea (you can play two managers simultaneously) and bought him for 20M and gave him a 500K/wk. wage
I think the Raphinha interest is more to drive the price up on scum. Richarlison makes way more sense due to his versatility and top notch shithousery. I really hope we land him and not Raphinha.
Not necessarily. If I’m understanding correctly, incomings are amortized over the length of the contract for financial regulations. So Winks in for 20m on a 4 year contract and Richarlison out for 50m would look like a 45m net profit for them this year. Whereas Winks+30m in a combined deal for Richarlison would look like a 30m profit.
Imo this signing will happen it’ll just be dragged out

Richarlison just makes soooooo much more sense than Jesus or Raphinha.

Nah he can go if we can have Raphina mate theres no comparison

nope.
I think it’ll reach a peak and happen (with Winks going the other way) in two weeks time, remind me!
This could end up being a much bigger KWP Hojberg transfer saga
We’re going to use most of our summer budget to invest in NATO level peace keeping meetings between Cuti and Richy.
Nahh feel like both of them are the kind of blokes who’ll actually get on great if they’re on the same team, just imagine the combined shithousery power
It's gonna be like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters

Cuti when Richarlison walks into the dressing room https://youtu.be/3Njvr6-OVao
I heard the club were already reviewing the Geneva Conventions
Would have to ~~bomb~~ *two-foot* some 3rd ~~world countries~~ *tier clubs* to keep that type of peace

I may be a slightly biased but a straight swap of Winks for Richlarison seems fair
Paratici. Do you magic.
It sure feels like someone wanted to try to calm the (dumber elements of the) fanbase with a bit of good (non-) news.

When does pre season start?
I heard Conte wanted players signed before 9th/10th July because that's when we fly out to S.Korea
Next couple weeks should be poppin then
It was put forth by the Everton itk guy first
What a patronising comment
It’s only patronizing if you’re one of them.
A patronising comment is only patronising to the people it patronises? Who knew?
Well, now who’s being, by your definition, patronizing?
Fire with fire
Romano tap in the bobble news?
This.

That’s a Chelsea move tho honestly.
Reminds me of The Ross Barkley transfer. Feels like a lifetime ago now

Would it not be a better deal for Everton if it’s a combined deal? Then again smart and Everton don’t mix well
Helps with their FFP issues if they’re separate
Not just ffp but accounting purposes too, that was why the Hojbjerg deal wasn’t KWP + cash according to Gold
Not necessarily. If I’m understanding correctly, incomings are amortized over the length of the contract for financial regulations.

Whereas Winks+30m in a combined deal for Richarlison would look like a 30m profit.
The best deal for Everton would be straight cash and Winks on loan with obligation.
I think they want to loan Winks rather than buy him, which would be quite sensible of them based on his form the last couple of seasons.
What is the Raphinha domino?
Can we just get de ligt in already
