Think he is judged on the inflated price you paid much like Pepe for us (who i liked). Havertz is one of the few to have turned this early opinion around but don't think Richarlie is as talented tbh

Decent player, not technically good enough to play for one of the heavyweights of European heavyweights but a decent option for Spurs given where we currently are.

Seems like a decent guy, always committed and 10-15 goals next season would be very handy. Not sure what else to say.. happy he's staying but would be equally happy if someone offered us 50+mln and we sold him.

Think he's been pretty underwhelming since joining and we've just spent 65mln on someone who's gonna take his place... says it all

But well done you for finding that much to write about on him.... I would have been struggling after a paragraph

He is paying per word

I think his attitude stinks tbh. Constant scowl, moaning and rolling about. I'm sure there are a few of ours that annoy you lot as well. Maybe Odegaard for looking like Ken and playing like Platini?

he's just the kind of player our fans never rate, if we had Haaland upfront everyone would call him a carthorse and compare him to Chris Wood

as you said ' when fit ' this is a big issue especially when we didn't have another striker

absolute minimum we will have 48 games this season.

realistically this could be 55-60 so there will be a big part for the whole squad to play this season (compares to last seasons 41 games).

I suppose this season we can afford to take a bit of time to 'get him right' physically whereas last season maybe he had to play more than he was fit to do.

fingers crossed

He's a head working lad with a bit of theatrics thrown in for good measure. As un-brazillian as a footballer can get.

Agree the expectation was raised by the fee we paid.

He's a decent player (dare I say on his day) but very inconsistent and picks up niggly injuries too... I guess because he does get stuck in.

I guess we've been spoiled with flare players over the years and Ricky does no fit that description one jot.

***a hard working

Love Richie, but you can just see it now can't you - we'll be playing our third or fourth Europa group game away at AZ Alkmaar having won all games in the group so far.

Another win here would set us up nicely to be able to rest players in the last games as we won't need anything, but as we're doing well in the league and having gone pretty full strength in the Europa so far, Ange decides to rotate a little and in come Richie, Davies, Skipp, Werner, Solomon, Dragusin, Spence etc.

We play well enough, but Richie and Werner miss a host of guilt edged chances.

Just as it looks like we'll have to settle for a draw, some 47 year old journeyman like Bafetimbi Gomis or Massimo Macarone or Henri Camara scores a header from a corner and we're suddenly back to full strength again in the Europa which will hinder our season in the long run.

I'm not this depressing in real life, promise!

I'm glad that we didn't sell him (yet) while also being glad he's got proper competition now.

I like Richarlison… I really do!

He’s an in your face, type player…We are so much harder to play against… as his work rate is excellent & he gets stuck in…that really unsettles defenders… & he wins the ball back…a lot!!

He great in the air… & always likely to score from headers… plus those 2 goals he scored against Everton, were excellent!!

If he stays fit, he’s an excellent member of the squad… happy to see him battle it out with Solanke…it will only benefit Spurs…

Hate it when he gets slated… there’s far worse in the squad than him!!

I remember an FA Cup game under Conte when he got a rare chance at no.9, @ SHeff Utd i think and we lost. That day he looked totally disinterested and i hated him at that point.

But on reflection, he knew he was never playing there in place of Kane 99 times out of 100 and Conte had made an enemy of him at that point, i think he had made some public comment about him....so i came to accept he had no passion for playing at that time and this was very bad man management from Conte.

But otherwise he is a player who gives his all.

Yes it's very unfair that if we had paid £20m we'd probably be singing his praises and saying what a bargain we got. Richarlison is not responsible for the inflated transfer fee we paid. Decent squad player and in order to keep progressing we need to keep this type of useful squad player for when key players get injured rather than selling him to balance the books. He's versatile which I'm sure Ange likes.
