On 20 goals in the league now, terrific header off the corner.
Has a habit of absolutely bossing defenders in the air

Another game another goal he's unstoppable
Can't stop.
Impressive how he is easily bossing Schuurs today, who is considered one of the best CD of Serie A
Get that pre-contract agreed. Best option on the market.
They paid around 50 million actually.
Italian accounting cheating involved in that deal. Also 130 will not be enough dealing with the Napoli owner. He will sell him when he is done and dusted like kouibially.
Brilliant header. But should have an assist as well if he played that ball better, the only real issue I have. Can miss some pretty easy passes
Another one wow
Again such smart movement for the goal
I would prefer Kane + Young striker for Oshimhen money.
Kane - striker or ss
Bruno - ss or rw

Stevie Wonder could see how this guy would transform our team
He's the answer to Haaland, the club signing him will challenge for the league.
Spurs will never sell Harry Kane to a domestic rival for less than a British record fee so Kane + a young striker could easily reach close to 200m...
That would obviously be true if he had a fair bit of time on his contract. But with only one year left and at 30 years of age I don't think it'll be quite that high.
Kane is not good enough for the money he would cost, a serial loser and bottler. England NT and Spurs are his level mentality wise.
I don't know how this post was left to slide; Alan Shearer changed and modified his game emphatically in accordance with with two knee injuries that robbed him of a lot of the tools that had gotten him to where he was up to those junctures in his career.
The Shearer you refer to was rapid, mobile, clean and playing off the shoulders of defenders. It wasn't tactics or anything external that curtailed him; it was the ACL injury that he was never the same player again after.
Shearer fell in line with the pack as a different kind of centre-forward to what he broke through and was making his name, and high goal tallies as. He continued to score goals and be effective, but he wasn't the same player or as lethal from a myriad of scenarios as he was pre-injury.
The second knee injury changed his game again, and that Shearer (the bruiser) wasn't a patch on the previous one, and very far removed from the aforementioned rapid one.
Effectively, there are 3 versions of Shearer to discuss, and most times, it's the one in the middle these discussions about 'Shearer' revolve around, which anyone who saw v1 would state isn't the best or true version of the player. So when you talk about 30-goal+ Shearer, it's not the Shearer iteration that is generally analysed and scrutinised.
You say that but when you have wingers that have no intention to cross or even get assists like Antony then how can he be expected to produce or get as many headed goals as he does. Don’t get me started on the fullbacks…
Aside from Bruno, there’s no player willing or capable to put a shift out wide to create chances. If we are to sign him our chance creation from outwide needs to improve.
We must not watch the same team then
Chances galore today right?
One off Game doesn't make a bad season. People need to stop overreacting after a "C" performance.
Has there been noticeable progress? Yes. Does Ten Haag have the players with criteria at each position like he wants? No. Thats why we see Bruno at RW, Sancho at CAM. Weghorst in the Midfield. Rashford at striker. It's about the profile of players, not the players themselves.
Shaw creates chances. His delivery is good too.
Someone like Hazard went for well north of 100m in the same exact situation with a year left on his contract a few years ago.
I'm under no illusions that someone like Dan Levy will do any PL club, let alone United, any favors at all when it comes to their valuation
. Especially if they're in need of a summer rebuild after sacking their manager.Maybe out of courtesy for foreign clubs like Bayern but definitely not for another English rival.
That's why I believe Kane is a non-starter for us as much as it would be a great fit. Too many things would have to happen for that to be a possibility, least of all the player himself pushing hard for it when we haven't received any indication that he would.
Cavani didn't have a problem scoring headers when he bothered in his first season. We didn't exactly have players who could cross better two years ago.
True but still need better delivery to get the best out of him in the air where he's a monster
I think that's right. Osimhen is the much smarter buy in terms of age profile but in terms of playing profile Kane is much more what United needs as they're currently constructed. Osimhen is a super low touch player who is mainly a box striker, even Haaland is involved in play for City more than Osimhen for Napoli. Watching highlights gives the wrong impression, he's very much a player who simply won't touch the ball all game and then head in a goal. He is in the 4th percentile in passes attempted per game despite playing in the most possession-heavy side in Serie A. Unless Ten Hag wants to use Rashford very differently than this season, making the two of them fit together will be very tricky.
Honestly I also wonder about Osimhen's fit for Chelsea. Potter's teams have never had this kind of low touch striker at the tip of spear, its hard to make it work. Some would say that is exactly what Chelsea need but they also tried that a few years back with Lukaku.
Just concentrate on improving midfield with the ball and let him just bang in the goals
Do you reckon Napoli would say yes to a fixed fee of 100m + boni, that can raise up to 150m in total?
Osimhen all the way.
If we don't get him this summer and he goes to another PL club then the chances of us ever signing him drops significantly.

150M seems unreal, but we've seen Napoli pricing Koulibally at 100M and letting him rot there. So anything's possible especially in a market where there's not many strikers.
Agree with Berba. Outside of the Rash our team is too one paced right now. A fast striker would be a game changer for us
We should offer £100m + Martial + a physio.
Is his last name pronounced Osi - Mhen or Osim - Hen?
Oh semen
Can you see Napoli letting him go, though? They are playing very well lately. I was down there and the support in the city is incredible.
