Listening to Spurs fans rave about the addition of Richarlison to their squad is pretty funny. I mean, for the most part, Spurs have been the Harry-Son show and adding the Brazillian to their squad doesn't change much.
While everyone else has been taking steps to improve their squad, Spurs have been signing players that either nobody wants or AFTV clowns want, as @blanchy pointed out.
Anyway, for whatever little it is worth, adding Richarlison to their squad is alright for the numbers but at that price, they really should be getting someone better.
Earlier in the transfer window, Liverpool announced the signing of Darwin Nunez from Benfica for only 4 million quid more than Spurs paid for Richarlison. If Spurs were a serious team, they would have been investing that money into well-scouted players that would actually improve their stocks.
To put things into perspective, Darwin Nunez has scored 48 goals in just 85 games for Benfica while Richarlison has only 95 goals in a spell that cuts across his time at Watford until his exit from Everton to Spurs.
When you think about it though, Richarlison has reached his ceiling and Totnum is probably the biggest team he will ever play for until he decides to move back to the Brazillian league like most of his compatriots.
On the red side of North London, Gabriel Jesus was added to the attack to bolster the ranks. He might not have elite numbers but this is a man that has shown he is at the same level as most elite teams on the planet.
He has tormented defenders at Liverpool, and Real Madrid and knows what it means to play at the top level. He will be bringing this elite mentality to an Arsenal side that is also pushing to become one of the elites.
For Richarlison, it will be business as usual, as he moves from a dead Everton team into Spurs bottling company.
At the end of the day, the biggest loser is Conte and his streak of winning trophies in every team he has managed. Just as Jose Mourinho and all the managers before him found out, there's no manager good enough to win a trophy at Spurs bottling company.
