That's the type of leverage that attracts Levy like a fly to feces. Otherwise it seems out of character for him to buy an expensive player he doesn't really need. That seems to be the reason they're selling today. Good article in The Athletic today explaining it all. Basically Everton are in huge amounts of debt and would be the first club to break the PL spending rules...and would do so significantly. Something like £350m+ in losses for the 3 year period it's judged over. However, they believe they've managed to get it down to under the £105m or so maximum losses allowed by a club, claiming COVID, the transfer market, and all manner of things inflated their losses. Basically they are in a bit of a tricky position and need to be seen to be making at least an effort to reduce their losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been amazing to see behind the scenes action from Pearson’s comeback season to his firing and hiring of Ranieri and then winning the league. 2 blockbuster seasons! Would have had everyone glued to the box. Then again a film crew hanging around could have been a major distraction and the magic might not have happened. Oh well. Hope theirs lots of unseen footage NETFLIX can make a movie from post humously. 🤞🏽🤞🏽 The camara crew & cameras, would of collapsed & off the gantry, on those days we rocked the stadium… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 1 July 2022 Share Posted 1 July 2022 Spurs had a good front three anyway but Richarlison just adds to that. Not looking forward to playing them considering he (and Kane) usually score against us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalis Posted 1 July 2022 Share Posted 1 July 2022 Would be hilarious if he was bought as a replacement for Harry Kane and Kane was off somewhere out of nowhere. Wishful thinking on my part though as there isnt really anywhere for him to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTheFox Posted 1 July 2022 Share Posted 1 July 2022 (edited) Richarlison is a good signing for Tottenham. His shithouse behaviour on a football pitch is embarrassing but he is one of few Everton players from last season who cannot be blamed for the position that they were in.

CosbehFox Posted 1 July 2022 Share Posted 1 July 2022 Spain, Italy and Germany all managed to set their opening games quicker than the Premier League. Two of those are notoriously disorganised and slow. The best league in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn’t forgot about him I just don’t see him being dropped for Richarlison, Kane & Son will always start when fit so he will be fighting the others I’ve mentioned for a starting place Kulusevski Is an loan with an obligation to buy next summer subject to conditional terms being met Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 1 July 2022 Share Posted 1 July 2022 Next season is primed for a lower points total imo which opens it up for Spurs, Man City will most likely win the league but Spurs will run them (and Liverpool) close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see anyone getting within 15 points of Man City, assuming Haaland stays fit. Spurs will be interesting. I think Conte will go sour there. People can handle awful football when it's winning, but when you're not winning and he's having a go at them on the touchline, it can quite quickly go south.

StanSP Posted 1 July 2022 Share Posted 1 July 2022 Everton fans were always ultra-defensive of Richarlison and his antics - diving, feigning injury, general shit-house behaviour. Although it's Spurs, I can't wait for Everton to now be on the receiving end of what he can be like and see how they act... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as he was one of the better players, I didn't expect them to get their money back on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as he was one of the better players, I didn't expect them to get their money back on him. He’s averaged 11 goals a season for Everton. 10 in 28 apps last season, where he was keyed upon as their main threat. He definitely occupies a defense. This is a year and a half old, but you get the idea. At 25, just rounding into his peak, I think they could have got another ₤10 or ₤15M. Of course there were ₤10M in “add ons” we don't know about. What this transfer tells us is probably that Conte has wrested control from Levy in that club to a degree Poch and Mourinho were never able to approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
