Marco went all in to sign Richarlison at Watford...sounds like he will be moving on from Spuds this summer. Think Spuds would sell him for 30-35m, Marco might just be the man to get him back to his best!
A few random quotes from the two of them:
'I'm sorry Marco but Richarlison will fly to the Netherlands on Monday and sign with Ajax.' I immediately replied: 'No, you have to stop everything. I want Richarlison at all costs at Watford.' So I get Richarlison's number, phone him and speak to him in Portuguese.
"He tells me: 'I am joining Ajax' and I said: 'No, you are not, you are coming to Watford.' I told him that I would support him with everything.
.....
"I want to have a lot of success with Everton. I think it is going to be important for me here to be with Marco Silva again."
.....
"I look to Marco like a father. He came to Brazil to bring me to England and I know I will be grateful for my life to Marco."
Richarlison would be an amazing coup for Fulham. He can play in the flanks as well as a striker so he can play alongside Mitro
Agreed. Richarlison would work wonders alongside Mitrovic. He is wasted on Spurs' bench.
They are 2-1 down at home after 73min and he is still on the bench today, can't see him staying unless the new manager changes his mind.
He's worth £20m and not a penny more - we've got bigger priorities this summer than to be spending £30m+ on him
Arrogant, petulant, self centered.
Would ruin the dressing room.
If he's available for 30 million or less, it's a no brainer for me. Knows Marco very well, fits our system really well and can play all across attack.
If we can get him for £30m then absolutely, but I highly doubt Tottenham will let him go for that. They would probably allow a loan deal
According to football manager, he's on £175k a week, there's no way we could afford that.
No thank you. Arrogant player. Spends more time diving than playing. Can't even get in a terrible Spurs team. He is playing now, off the bench and has done nothing. Spurs are now losing 3-1

Had two excellent headers that were briliantly saved by Raya.

There's some truth in that, but he was brilliant for Watford under Marco. I'm sure Marco would unlock his potential again.
"Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly urged Real Madrid to pursue versatile Tottenham attacker Richarlison in the summer transfer window...
The report claims that Ancelotti is pushing Real Madrid to sign the 26-year-old in the summer transfer window. And with Richarlison's market value at around €55 million, a deal in the region of the same valuation might be on the cards. But Real Madrid will prefer to sign Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe instead of the Tottenham ace..."
(thehardtackle.com/...whatever that is)
He's... ok. I suspect he'll stay at Spurs because the new manager will need to make him the main man when Kane signs for Man Utd.
I'd have him in a heartbeat at the right price. I think he'd be an excellent option to attack the channels and, given his success at Everton with DCL, I'm sure he would be an excellent foil for a player like Mitro.
I can't see Levy being sensible though, so I doubt he'd be available.
Never going to happen.

Last bloke i want to see in Fulhams dressing room let alone wearing a Fulham kit.
A very toxic individual, that is why he is sitting on Spurs bench.
A horrible creature.
Depending on wages, would rather have Moura on a free.
I can't stand him and would not like to see him in a Fulham shirt.
Plus he's hugely overrated.....
If Marco gets him he would have my support as I trust marco to dictate signings.
I don't get the comments describing him as overrated, arrogant, petulant etc. Don't let your personal feelings get in the way of a good signing. Silva knows Richarlison well and would be the one person who could get the very best out of him. Richarlison scores goals for fun for Brazil just like Mitro does for Serbia. He would be an amazing signing for Fulham and is the sort of player who could elevate us to the next level. That said there's very little chance of him coming our way.
Reports say he donated 10% of his salary to charity, always another side off the pitch.
Richarlison is an angry footballer who opposition fans hate, but is actually a really good bloke off the pitch. As has been said, he does a lot for charity, and is one of the few high-profile Brazilian national footballers that was vocally anti-Bolsonaro.
He is a very good player - i'd ignore this season at Spurs - but he'd cost too much. Tottenham would have get at least £40m back for him to sell (Levy has proven time and again he won't take the loss) and unless he was to take a paycut, he'd come in as our highest paid player. We could afford that, but it would create problems on wage bill structure, and would compromise our ability to strengthen the squad elsewhere.
He played well in an average Brazil team at the World Cup, I wouldn't mind him at Fulham
