Alphonso on the left is pretty special but I also feel like Laryea on the right (for TFC) is pretty special too. I mean, how much difference is there between the two? I feel like Richie actually has a better touch on the ball.

Richie is a pretty good player but he is not literally or figuratively in the same league as Phonsie. Just today, I was reading an article by a former American player and present commentator (can't remember who) and he said the US's best player Pulisic is not even in the same conversation as Davies.
I don't recall hearing this (but it has been published) that back in May. Atiba was going to talk to Besiktas about Richie. Don't laugh, that was how Larin got in there and Atiba is like a God at Besiktas.
Also, as long as I can remember we have certain player agents who seem to specialize in one country and we often have a run of players going to that country. Turkey seems to be in vogue now. The first I remember was Scotland, then Germany and then Holland. We once had three players sign in the Eredivisie in one day.
If we keep doing well I think you'll definitely see some players moving to bigger clubs when the Octagonal is completed and Richie will likely be one of them. I'll say this about him, he is one of our best "Concacafers" knowledgeable in the dirty, dark arts of Central American teams.
