Apparently we have agreed a fee with Fluminese for Richarlison and pending a medical he will join up in Singapore shortly. Price rumoured to be around 18 million £. Conte said he hoped a player might join soon, Richarlison could be the one. 

Can apparently play on either wing or as a forward. Heres the obligatory video.

 

 

Vitesse is very happy.

Counts as U21 so can take a 3rd striker squad spot without taking up one of the non-homegrown spots 

I mean, is he any better than Boga or Musonda?

Difficult to get about the signings of players from Brazil because they're always hyped as the next Neymar and then we buy someone like Kenedy who plays like a dog chasing a tennis ball. 

I was excited when we signed Kennedy, refuse to get excited about this signing until I see him play in blue!

Not going to Vitesse

Anyone watched him play in the Brazilian league? 

Will he get a work permit? 

He needs a lot more work to be done.

Ideal for that Right Mifielder spot, Pedro/Willy just not good enough. He need to get minutes and that position will be perfect for him. I`m happy with this transfer.
 

How can you say Pedro s not good enough after last season?

Pedro and Willian are not good enough?

Apparently not, but some teenage Brazilian he hadn't heard of until this morning is. Go figure.

U been in a coma for a season pal? Pedro was outstanding last year.

Not that excited by this transfer, we don't tend to buy many young players who're ready to make an impact in our team. 

 

Oh and good luck replacing Willian or Pedro, both were in good form last season and both looked very good yesterday in the Arsenal game.

For me not. Pedro have good season, but hes best years are behind. Also he lacks speed. He has good acceleration, but hes speed lacks. He and Willy very often just go missing from the game. You can`t understand if they play or not.

Atleast for me, we need better player on that position, or someone younger with potential to be great there. Pedro is going 30 in few days, so this signing is very good, and he is only 20 years old.

And for Willian to be fair i was never big fan of him. Too often he missed the moment to shot or to make the final ball. Very often he is holding the ball too much and our attack lose the momentum. This is from the moment he came to us and still doing it.

Same goes for him, goes on hiding in a lot of matches.

Yeah hope its for the loan army because musonda and boga deserve an extended chance to show their worth. If this player can show he is special then I won't mind, but if he's just another kenedy or piazon it's pointless.

Agreed. Hazard and Kante are rubbish too.

I wonder why some people even support us with the amount of vitriol and general negativity they spout towards the players and board. That talkchelsea forum is worse than some posters here tbh, and the Chelsea reddit is another level of negativity lol

Pedro still can give us 2 years with a good form he showed us last season, his goals, his work, his dribbling and experience. 

Willian is always a good player to have in the squad, not the best finisher but definitely offers us a lot of counter attacks. Hard worker, great dribbling and great attitude.

About potential, we are the team that has the most talented academy players in the world, so many players that can turn into a class but they have a lack of games and not enough minutes to prove themselves. 

There is no point to signing a player that is very good in the Brazilian league but won't show the same in a better league like Premier League. He will be need experience which probably will end at Vitesse and he will turn into another Piazon or Kenedy. I'd prefer to take this time and try to improve our own academy players, Boga for example. 

He looks crap on the video. Could barely keep the ball at his feet, not sure what he'd bring to our team.

Pedro and willian both have plenty of quality you must be f**king kidding me...I swear some fans wouldn't be happy unless we bought Messi and Neymar, cloned them and put them at every midfield and attacking positions

To be fair, if that's an option I think we should look into it.

2022: "And after four loan moves to Vitesse, Richarlison completes a permanent move to Sao Paulo"

And usually Real Madrid and Barcelona snap up the really good ones.
