I have just read a article about the men's football at the Olympics, previously I believed Brazil had entered a strong team which he wanted to be a part of. Richarlison is their star man in a team of youngsters . Obviously fear of upsetting him led to the club granting permission allowing him to miss preseason and undoubtedly a handful of games at the start of the new season . He looked tired last season and will need a break after all this football . As one of our most saleable assets I'm increasingly thinking it's time to cash in and reinvest.

He's scored a first half hattrick against Germany today! If he's staying a good tourney would be great because think he's a confidence player and if not at least it won't do his volume any harm!

We need to keep hold of our better players so I wouldn't sell him unless a ridiculous fee is offered. I hope he sets these games alight and has a great tournament. As TD says, the lad thrives off confidence so hopefully he will be firing on all cylinders the minute he returns to Goodison.

Its a good pre season for him playing competitive matches but I do think he's using the opportunity to put himself in the shop window. Look he's a good player but he's never going to have the impact of lukaku on our team. He, to me, is a fairweather player. If we can get more than we paid for him then I say let him go. We need a goalscorer. We need a new lukaku. Never mind wingers or players full of potential just get an out and out goalscorer.

We have an out and out goalscorer Pauly. Are you saying sell DCL or sell Richarlison?
If you want a new Lukaku he will cost more than Richarlison, if you want an up and coming possible Lukaku then we need to keep Richarlisons 10-15 goals a season.

Who’s our out and out goal scorer? DCL had a purple patch for a dozen games then offered very little for two thirds of the season. Don’t get me wrong, the service was hit and miss but he still had a lot of chances. I’ve always thought he needs to play alongside a natural finisher because his hold up play is excellent.

Brazil play Richarlison as a striker both in serious and micky mouse competition. We on the other hand play him as a winger.

Smit I was saying sell richy. I agree with Windsor re dcl. He could bring the best out of a Danny ings type goalscorer. Ings, to me, is an out and out goalscorer. He has little else to his game. He would only be employed as a goalscorer. Dcl is a target man who can hit double figures but he will never get you 20+ a season as his finishing is not strong enough. He's not a poacher. His 1 on 1 count is dreadful. He cost us a lot of goals and points with his weak finishing. I'm not having a pop at him as I like dcl but he needs a partner and he could help someone hit 20+ a season whilst hitting double figures himself.

{Ed025's Note - i like ings pauly and think he would be a perfect foil for DCL, however his injury record does concern me mate..

Dcl isn't a natural goal scorer, which is why he tends to miss those one on one's. Wasn't he a midfielder in his early career? That said, he is still a threat going forward.
I like Ings as a player but, since he signed for those across the park, his injury record hasn't been great. I don't think it's worth a punt on that type of player unless they are coming on a free, I wouldn't spend 20m+ on him.

Ed 025 they remind me of Sharp and heath. I see the 2 of them play and all I see is if we paired them up it would be 1985 all over again for me.
They are perfect for each others game and I know his injuries are concerning but if we can get 2 good seasons out of him we would be in Europe for sure.
