Need CL football and new ownership so we can negate that threat of Chelsea for him
Look at this leap
His nose for the ball in and around the box is terrific.
14 goals in his last 12

He’s fantastic
It's genuinely a no brainer. Make him priority number 1 in the summer.
Napoli getting ready to slap a £200m price tag on him this summer.
We can't miss the boat if we get Champions League, he will destroy teams in this league.
Not even gonna entertain it, he's either going to Madrid or Boehley will pay 150m
Unfortunately I don't think we can afford him.
We absolutely can.
He's starting to reach Haaland levels. I think there will be too much competition for his signature and we usually miss out when that's the case.
Is his general level of involvement as little as Haaland‘s? Maybe we should be looking for a different type of striker than an elite poacher.
Yes and probably even worse than Haaland in that aspect but he works harder defensively.
It's too easy to score in Serie A. The level of the league is low. If you have the physique you are dominant. As was Lukaku. Never buy in serie A a striker dominant thanks his physique (Lukaku, Osimhen, Vlahovic ecc.). In serie A you must muy tecnichal players.
The true top player of Napoli is not Osimhen. The top player is Kvaratskhelia.
I don't know if he'd be ten Hag's number 1 choice.
Despite being injured a lot, we've seen how much ten Hag talks up Martial, and has clearly said we play better with him in the team.
To me, that has a lot to do with a Martial's back to goal play - similar to Weghorst.
If we can get a player who has that plus goals (no one better than Kane) then I think that's who ten Hag would prefer.
Let's say we have, Kane, Martial and Rashford as our forward options, then we have two players in Kane and Martial who has fantastic link play and someone in Rashford, who, like Osimhen, is more of a running in behind striker.

Hmm, not so sure if he'd be worth the outlay in that case.
I’m not sure it’s that significant. The likes of Mudryk and Enzo have just joined them knowing full well they probably won’t have UCL football next season.
Is he a one season wonder like Darwin Nunez or has he been doing it for a few years now for Napoli? He’s going to cost a lot of money and for that, i would rather get a proven quality like Kane although he’ll be older
yes we can. The summer we will have a good sized budget plus sales. We can afford him.
Yeah and confident Erik can bring even more out of his game if he's willing to take that opportunity to join us which is still 50/50
The belief that Lukaku tore the Serie A apart the way Halaand is doing the PL is a pure myth, entertained by some bias…
Using Lukaku as a stick to beat Osimhen’s Serie A performances is not fair. Lukaku scored 24 non penalty goals in the PL… His best tally in Italy, being serviced by the best team of that league was 18 non penalty goals..
It is more relevant to compare respective qualities and what we need. Osimhen is a pressing machine, nothing like Lukaku and he is very good on the air (again nothing like Lukaku)…
I don't know if Osimhen was fully fit in past seasons (think he had several injuries) but it's interesting to see how well he and Kvara link up. Osimhen's scoring record this season is so much better than previous seasons.
No need to waste our time going after him, Chelsea will offer 150m and get him.
He will be the first one billion transfer, Boehly will pay it.
We don't need a left winger.
what if we get one better than the one we got ?
How can Chelsea buy him for 100m+ after everything they've spent, surely it has to stop at some point, in terms of FFP?
So you would spend massive money on a player who may or may not be an improvement on Rashford, when we have much bigger priorities?
Both osimhen and kvara are so good. If we are in for him I think we'll get Osimhen over competition, PL is huge in lure right now and we'd have CL and on the top where Chelsea wouldn't. Kvara is a future ballon D'or winner IMO, just we don't need a LW but I'd love to see him in a United shirt.
the defending was awful today, literraly non existent. Hopefully he can get some goals in the Cl before we break the bank high.
We can probably go up to 100. Chelsea spent 120 on a midfielder, they would be willing to go up to 150-170 for a rare commodity (no. 9) in football.
He's not better than Rashford
flavour of the monthHe's not better than Rashford
He is absolutely unreal and still only 21. To be honest I’m happy with rashford and don’t really want to lose him, however..kvara is less greedy and has a higher ceiling imo. I could be wrong
We also have a winger with a high ceiling. His name is Garnacho.
As good as the player you are talking about may be, as has been said, we need to be prioritising elsewhere.
less greedy sure, higher ceiling? very debatable but time will tell.
Anyway as others have said, we've already got 2 great wingers + Sancho if he can get his form back before we'd need to think about another.
We desperately need a striker though.
I do think his ceiling is higher.. but I couldn’t agree more hes not a priority, I just like them together. Very good partnership indeed.
I don’t know why but I feel like this is a done deal for us…completely irrational confidence. Players seem to actually want to play for ETH and we have the funds.
This is something many ignore. This poster has a good point.
