Alvaro might be ready now
I've said for a while he reminds me of Nunez but with better coordination in the box. Think he's a much better athlete than Lukaku ever was, although Lukaku at his best had a glorious left peg to rely on.
Anyways the one thing he can also fall back on is that he's ELITE in the air. I don't think he's a perfect fit but honestly there aren't better options available I think in terms of profile. Even watching us with Weghorst who's an absolute eyesore, you can see spots where if Osimhen played the exact same style he'd still find himself through on goal plenty of times. But as many have said, the more successful Napoli are the less likely it is that he's even sold this summer
When I see him make those runs into channels and blow by defenders I can't help but think he'd be perfect for us, both in terms of how his game meshes with the players around him and our system playing to his strengths
Impossible signing in my opinion, Napoli will ask upwards of £150m
Blow most of our budget on him IMO, get a world class CM and sell a few players to make our spend better.
New owners please make a big statement in your first summer

As much as I don’t like Lukaku’s playing abilities , to be fair he was decent at finishing , fending off/bullying defenders and had very good pace to run down the alleys.
He had horrible touch for a footballer and generally very incompatible with other players in the buildup. These are essential for a number nine at top club and hence failure of Lukaku at big stages.
Not sure how good Osimhen’s touch is and in general his involvement with the buildup of the play. If his football is closer to Nunez than Lukaku , I think it’s good to buy him.
Get Ten Hag in a 1 on 1 meeting with him and have Victor drink some coffee from the Caraboa Cup. Give him a literal taste of success.
Well Lukaku was actually not as much of a bully as you'd hope for his size and he was only average in the air. He also isn't the tireless runner that someone like Osimhen is either, which is a big deal for us. I think you can make up for being mediocre on the ball if you can finish off chances well enough and offer serious threats off of it. I've always been against Nunez for example, because for as much of a hassle he is to deal with in the strenght/pace department he's simply lacking any consistent technique in front of goal as a striker. Maybe he gets it coached in to him, but for now it's not really there which means his contributions to a game will be so hit or miss.
If I was him, I'd be asking for double what that rubbish is on.
It's a lot of money for Todd to pay over what will inevitably be a 25 year contract
Osimhen as priority and then, dare I say it, maybe I’ve lost it after the Pool loss, Zaha on a free?
1 or 2 year deal. Covers the front 3. Return of Wilf.
Him over Weghorst any day of the week, month, year, multiverse.
I don't think Chelsea will be in strong contention for players that are highly coveted given how much they need to work with the current crop of players. Look at the situation with City and the league and it shows really probably behind closed doors why they had a very quite summer.

Id take Zaha for sure. Can cover LW and CF
We need this player
Let him come fulfill it in the Theater of Dreams!
Saw on reddit someone saying drogba is his idol but surely without champions league football they have no chance?
Why should he want to go to Chelsea just because he idolizes Drogba? He can aspire to play like and be as successful as Drogba for any club.
Sheikh Jassim if he wins says United will double that and you can play CL football.The lads probably a united fan as well as 50% of the Nigerian country supper United, I’m confident this or Kane happens providing the Glaziers Vacate the building before the end of April as others will be already working in the deal !
Hannibal isn't even a striker, absolutely no need to try and retrain him there, he needs to hone his skills in CM first.

His parents and extended family are Chelsea fans, I am not sure how much, if anything, that plays into player decisions.

Why does he always seem to be wearing a mask?

Did somebody just say Hannibal is a second striker?
Hannibal plays for Birmingham City. He is nowhere near ready for the Premier League, especially temperament wise.
He had a skull fracture and broke his cheekbone and eye socket badly last season that required 6 plates and 18 screws. The details of the full extent of it at the time are quite graphic if you read up on it
He's also very aggressive in the air so it's a good way of protecting himself now
He’s Batman
Aye, de Laurentis has always been difficult to deal with and that was even before this sort of hyper inflation in football.
With them winning the league I think you could be right, especially since they also paid a substantial amount for him.
Love this. Plus the fact he wants to play in the premier league.
Come On Agent Odi - Do ya ting
Let's get the guy
Definitely need Ighalo to put a word in his ear about coming to United
With every game he becomes better and better. What a player.
€150m ?! he better have Aguero/Suarez/Kane level potential
We aren’t getting Bellingham and our biggest issue is up front so I’m ok with spending 100+ million on him. We’ll probably get Rabiot and maybe Sabitzar on a permanent so that will strengthen the midfield without costing much. We’ll probably sell Maguire and Baille and use those funds to get another defender, maybe Timber or the centre half from Napoli
Depends whether Rabiot could be a backup CDM for Casa,yeah Timber offers someone who can play at RB & CB but maybe they are looking for a pure CB such as Min-Jae.
