Transfer Talk: Part 2

Transfer Talk, Weekend Buzz, , , , ,

It is time! We shall borrow that famous quote from Rafiki in the Lion King and once again discuss who your team needs to bring or kick out, this summer. Behold, Transfer Talk: Part 2!

Chelsea

Just like how Manchester United are going through difficulty replacing the great Sir Alex, The Blues are going through hell replacing their beloved no.9, Didier Drogba. Torres was woeful, Costa was a brief remedy, Morata short of confidence and Giroud was crafted for the bench. Gonzalo Higuain has failed to reach expectations he had set so high in Spain and Italy, despite his excellent link-up play with the Belgian maestro Eden Hazard, who we think should stay to give mentorship to rising star Hudson-Odoi and allow teen prodigy Vinicius Junior to flourish. We think Chelsea need a hungry, pacey, all-round striker like Piatek or Timo Werner or even Alfredo Morelos at Rangers. We also think a defender will be a good addition to their ranks, like Johnny Tah or Danny Rugani. This might be a busy window for Chelsea. Good thing they don’t have any complications with the FA that could screw up their plans. Right?

“Right”

Crystal Palace

We think it’s pretty obvious. don’t you?

Everton

Should Marco Silva keep his job, he should set priorities on finding a younger, hungrier right winger to understudy or replace Theo Walcott, make Andre Gomes a Toffee permanently, and sign a young, but capable goalie to understudy Jordan Pickford to keep the English man in check. Dean Henderson anybody?

Fulham

Fulham look destined to return to the Championship and considering that they already spent a whooping 100 million on players that do not turn up, like Anguissa, Jean Seri, Schurlle. But if there is anything Fulham should do, it should be keeping the big Serb Mitrovic at Craven Cottage to help them fight till the end, and should the worst happen, fight for a spot back at the Prem next two years.

Huddersfield Town

Huddersfield Squad has a team decent for their stature. PL Analysis just feels they need a capable manager who can utilise them to produce great results. Hassenhuttl would have been great, but he’s been already been poached by the Saints. Doomed to return back to the Championship as the clock ticks onward to May, it is something the Terrier board will ponder on for a looooooooong time.

That’s it for now. Leave in your messages on who you think should go in or get out this summer, and we might just consider them. Ciao Ciao.

 

 

 

The new baby-faced assassin: Everton’s Richarlison

Player Profiles, , , ,

 

The old holder of this title, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer (Remember him Bayern fans?), may not care about this prestigious title anymore, now he is the caretaker manager of Manchester United, so we feel we can hand his crown down to Everton’s number 30, Richarlison.

Arrived from Fluminense as a young, acne-invaded faced teen, the Brazilian flourished under the guidance of Portugal’s new Mourinho, Marco Silva at Watford, until said manager got tempted with the offer of managing the Toffees. We all know what happened next: The Hornets refused, Marco got his vengeance on the pitch, Marco got the sack, Richarlison’s performance dipped massively.

Then Marco got his dream job, and brought the son he never had to Goodison Park, and things are peachy for them at the moment, with the Toffees sitting comfortably in a Europa spot, and Richarlison banging the goals. He’s got 8 at the moment.

The Brazilian also has a frightening goal rate of 0.53 per match. He’s scored 5 of those goals with his deadly right foot, two with his left and one header, showing he’s the full package. He’s had 37 shots so far, and 15 of them have been on target, meaning a shooting accuracy of 41%. He’s whipped in 20 crosses as well, and his eagerness for getting into attacking positions shows: He’s got 11 off-sides. He’s had three big chances missed, and his defensive stats are pretty decent too: 18 tackles, 7 interceptions and 19 clearances.

The stats can safely say that the man’s doing just fine (and has got Cenk Tosun biting his fingernails.) We expect bigger things of this man who is impressing the blue side of Merseyside with goals, pace, trickery, consistency, flair and ice-cool finishing Ruud van Nistelrooy will be proud of. If he form keeps up, the goals will continue to flow, clubs will be knocking on his agent’s door, and he may be the answer for Brazil’s forward position as they bid for world domination. Ain’t that right Bobby?
