Richarlison

[Baleforce]

If he is turning up to training every day he is honouring his contract.

Can’t help but feel we’ve bitten off our nose to spite our face here by leaving him out of the squad.

Well done to the club. Finally putting the football side of things and squad harmony over money.

I mean away for the finances its been handled horrendously but yeh

So this is what squad harmony looks like.

The question for me is whether or not Richarlison would've disrupted training. Often players that are on the periphery and want out can do this and it does not benefit the team. IMO the old Spurs would've had asset value as the first priority and put Richi in the squad. I'm pleased to see that we have instead backed the manager.

Depending on what you believe the reason its being dragged out in the press is because we blocked a cheaper deal for us, better deal for him to Turkey, so exactly the opposite of what you are saying, neither of us know BTW, I am just saying.

The who thing being played out how it is hardly makes us or him look great in equal measures

I have no idea what transfer move (if any) either we or he blocked but for any transfer to happen the buying club have to agree a fee with teh selling club. If Richarlison really wanted to move to Turkey then he could've taken a smaller wage to allow them to pay a bigger transfer fee to Spurs and get a deal agreed.

I'm just talking about him being left out of the squad for the first half of this season. I ask myself why would the manager have left him out of the squad? The only reason I can come up with is that he thinks he is a disruptive influence, nothing else makes sense to me. I therefore see this as the manager being backed. And I don't think that would've happened previously.

Of course but equally if we were acting like said we would have just kissed him off.

And all that is fine, but the episode in itself is disruptive and massively distracting, its likely to consume the weekends fixture for us which is not good considering we need a win badly

Yep, how any Spurs fan can side with Richi here is beyond me.

Has he actually apologised for his social media outburst?

Quite honestly, let him go to his lawyers. they will tell him he has no case anyway. Let him go to his trade union. He'll get the same message there as well.

Richi needs to hold himself accountable for the predicament he finds himself in. He bit the hand that feeds him and is paying the price. He can pay us £10m himself and buy out his contract. Why should we lose out?

To play devil's advocate.....he stated he was looking for a new opportunity but on his terms. That could have well looked like happening. Until it didn't. So if he's not happy, he's remains at the club he's contracted with.
But then the club aren't happy and the manager ain't happy, basically because they aren't getting what they want. Just like Richie wasn't happy because he wasn't getting what he wanted.

Laws and rules rule this situation, not (their) emotions. That's why (as I said the other day) having someone that can slip into cool head rational thinking mode asap is essential.

Let's all hope he can get a move to Brazil (assuming that's what he wants)

At the end of the day the manager is the one who gets the sack so he should have the say who is in his squad and the clubs finances are not in his purview.
The player wants to leave as he's not going to play until at least January and it's his right to agree joining his preferred club as it's the clubs right to make the most they can from their asset.
Richarlson seems a very emotional guy and not the sort who thinks things through before acting, his agent could have advised him to handle the situation better.

Both have a right to stand their ground based on their contracts and the player has probably an upper hand because of pure choice alone of where he wishes to be.

What is clear is that if the club were told he wanted to leave early on that it being dragged out looks poor. You would not have taken him on a pre season trip and played the first game.

I don't buy the full rhetoric on everyone being a bad egg, everyone said it all summer about players we were looking to offload, like zombies. Was said about Spence, Vusko, Bergvall and others...........

He clearly didn't care about the club when he sold his soul on social media. You reap what you sow.

Can you quote what he said on social media and breakdown why you have a problem with it? If you have the time but no worries if not...From what I recollect, it wasn't calling anyone or the club out specifically and said he wa is available and willing to honour his contract but wants to make his own decision rather than being taken advantage of.

What's clear is currently the situation benefits neither player, or us. A lot of the rest seems like conjecture as it usually is.
