Is he just unlucky or the next Martial in training?
Victor Osimhen | out of options | goes to Gala on loan

That doesn't look bad at all to be honest?
Cheekbone and shoulder injuries are just bad luck. The rest isn't over the top
All Injuries are bad luck to be honest.
The way Osihmen plays with pace and pressing isn’t going to leave him exactly injury free either.
It's not that bad really over the past couple years since his shoulder one, the cheekbone fracture was unfortunate but happened because of a clash of heads so not really an indication of ongoing problems
The cheekbone injury and catching Covid twice is bad luck.
The shoulder injury I'd be more curious about, though it's been a while since that reared up.
Sure, but repeat muscle injuries can be a sign of a weakness or general wimpiness.
I don't think that is the case with Osimhen though. The longest he's missed is 1 month with a bicep injury, which shouldn't be a big problem going forwards.
16/17 - missed 178 days
17/18 - 128 days
20/21 - 94 days
21/22 - 74 days
22/23 - 32 days
progression!

Especially since it reared up again a full season later
Osimhen - 150m
Kane - 100m
I think this is a non-starter. We'll have to move on
As old as Jesus Christ himself I guess.
With the Qataris coming in, Mbappe seems like the better move, maybe get Osimhen for the bench 
Most of his injuries are shoulder and part of his head injuries. Last season only missed 2 games while the other games that he missed were due to corona and cheekbone, while this season missed 6 games. There is lot of improvement in his injury record.
I don’t disagree. I’d want to get that shoulder checked out fully in the medical though
If he "who's name cannot be mentioned" is allowed back do we need to spend that much on this guy?
His touch looks clumsy to me and we need to factor in that he plays in seria A

I think they'd hypothetically take Antony's place as first choice right forward, with Antony as rotation/bench option, meaning there'd still be plenty of room for a top CF.
Good analysis in this Twitter thread.
Sesko 45m
That guy talks about everyone like they are the best player/team on the planet.
Not ready to be starter yet
I didn’t realise we were allowed to divide a players likely selling price by 2?
Why aren’t we signing Mbappe for 110m?
And you think he is as good as Haaland?
Nah it’s too much, bad business we should keep looking.
Haaland deal had release clause. Without release clause, Dortmund would ask minimum triple transfer fees.
Yep Haaland knew he needed that or he would have been at Dortmund for extra two years.
Anyway sooo
City sell us Haaland
City buy Osimhen
Kane stays at Tottenham
All good
Playing 2 invereted forwards with no centtral link up would be stupid. This is why when Rashford is sttriker we played playmakers like sancho & antony to play him on goal. It would be the same with osihmen. Hes too similair to central rashford for me.
I just had the exact same idea. Think this guy could be an absolute beast for us - he'd be my choice along with Osimhen. Btw, Kolo Muani has not been injured in his career to date.
Still a chance City actually get punished in the next year or so and he wants a way out,that door is always open Haaland
Utd play "playmakers like sancho & antony" when Rashford is the striker because you have no other options!!
As long as the striker is decent enough at hold-up play eg Kane or Ramos, then it wouldn't be "stupid" - Real Madrid sometimes play with Rodrygo and Vinicius either side of Benzema; Spurs have Son and Kulusevski either side of Kane; Arsenal with Martinelli and Saka either side of Jesus.
It wouldn't be much different.
The CAF experts that wanted Nunez and Scamacca over the summer are the ones that are saying that Osimhen isn't good enough technically for United.
Todays gossip mentions that Chelsea are in for Osimhen in the summer.. of course they are
Chelsea can go feck themselves
Lukaku, Aubameyang still on the books, Havertz there and Nkunku to come in but let’s spend another £120m+ on another striker. Yeah, sounds like Todd Boehly.
Hopefully we’ll have new owners by then and Chelsea won’t have a say in the matter.
Didn’t Napoli spend £70m on him? No way they let him go for £100m. I’d imagine a figure closer to £150m will be closer to the truth
They wanted 200mil for koulibaly at his best tbh & said osihmen was not for sale
Every source that is somewhat reliable on my twitter feed says they are not going to sell him this summer.
They spent £66m on him so £100m when his contract expires in 2 years isn't very unlikely. I imagine a bit more and they'll let him go. They can buy some 2-3 really good players with that, especially with their transfer strategy.
