Hi,
You can not but be impressed about Tottenham's business this summer,though I was expecting it. But when players like Bissouma and Richarlison come in,it looks all the more impressive! That's why I wrote,FOUR SIGNINGS IN FOUR WEEKS. The sheer attraction of the player to a great coach like Conte(firstly), then the Champions league and a better run club than his erstwhile club has attracted Richarlison.
Yeah the world Cup means that players will be rested, but isn't Richarlison taking some kind of risk? Well I think it's Kulusevski that will have to pay the price often, thanks to the versatility of Richarlison.
The Gunners,well they needed a number 9. Richarlison can give that,but Calvert-Lewin is the number 9 in his club. Brazil allows him play the number 9 role,as often as the coach likes,with real competition for that spot. Arteta chose the Brazilian number 9(since the wings are already taking care of),who does it at club level, who will be motivated to strut his stuff, since Pep was a tough coach to please and the World Cup is at hand. He chose a player he has coached before too,how's that for a low risk maneuver?
Simply put,who is more likely to start on the first match day for both sides?Richarlison or Jesus? Everyone knows the answer must be Jesus. Through the course of the season barring injuries,he would have more game time than Richarlison,especially in the EPL. Yet they are supposed to be gunning for thesame number 9 shirt at the World Cup.🤷♂️
Well I join the pop corn thing, waiting to see how it unfolds.
Beautiful recruitment Tottenham is doing.
Cheers
There will be plenty of game time for Richarlison with the sheer amount of games coming up. He is now playing for a bigger club with better players in the champions league. Higher status for him. I reckon his place is secure with Brazil. If Jesus wasn't prolific with arguably the best team in the world then he won't be a prolific number 9 at WOolwich.
Ok meaning Jesus will have even much more game time with the sheer amount of games.
I have spoken on Pep in my comment,that suffices for being "prolific".
Arteta has got the boy he knows well,a number 9 that the team needed(a massive upgrade on Lacazette,by the way). He won't be regretting he didn't sign a Richarlison who plays on the left in his club, when he has the impressive Brazilian, Martinelli and elegant and dogged Smith Rowe "fighting" it out for that spot.
Cheers
