A team that plays to his strengths and hides his weaknesses,plus guarantee trophies and champions league.

I would normally 100% agree with you. But Osimhen has ties to Germany. Does Napoli refuse to sell to Bayern for €100m if Osimhen says "only Bayern"?All this talk about Bayern I don't think they're really in the race. They get great players but rarely pay huge transfers.
I know reports are saying Osimenh will be available for 100M which seems a sum Bayern would be willing to pay. But I doubt that's the real number, I mean there are very few good strikers why would, specially, Napoli sell for only 100M?
There are at least 4-5 big teams interested in him. I think the number would be closer to 130M which then I don't see Bayern paying.
Let's take into account Napoli paid 75M for him 3 years ago and he still haves a contract until 2025 so they're not really forced to move him unless paid a big sum.
I only see him moving to the premier league because of this.
Why would he say that?I would normally 100% agree with you. But Osimhen has ties to Germany. Does Napoli refuse to sell to Bayern for €100m if Osimhen says "only Bayern"?

I think so, I don't see why Napoli would sell at a cut price just to give Osimhen his dream move or something.I would normally 100% agree with you. But Osimhen has ties to Germany. Does Napoli refuse to sell to Bayern for €100m if Osimhen says "only Bayern"?
I'm sure he'll be grateful.We'll get Bamford a stale loaf of bread.
Been bang on average in these 2 matches against Milan. Makes me think he doesn't have that big match gene.

He didn't play last week as he was injured and just came back this weekend.Been bang on average in these 2 matches against Milan. Makes me think he doesn't have that big match gene.

Well that’s a post based on nothing seeing as he didn’t even play the 1st leg nor the 4-0 defeat in the leagueBeen bang on average in these 2 matches against Milan. Makes me think he doesn't have that big match gene.
did nothing in the first leg, shockingBeen bang on average in these 2 matches against Milan. Makes me think he doesn't have that big match gene.

that was the jokeHe didn't play.
Well, Milan was too much for Napoli.And you just said he'd have a better chance at Bayern than Napoli for CL? Not this year and not in the near future if he were to stay at Napoli. No club is guaranteed CL success, and that includes Bayern.
No such player exist broHe's not fully fit and good finish per usual when he gets service....but opinion still stands that he's a traditional CF who needs consistent service to score goals and isn't going to create his own space or bring others into play as much. He's the final product guy and United have seemingly done that with Marcus. So there needs to be a better balance of a player who can score double figures in the league yet contribute going forward on the ball and still have a good work rate off the ball defensively and offensively.
A fit Martial would be better than Osimhen for United, but a fit Martial isn't possible anymore. Sad but true and signing a reliable CF who can give both goals and overall team functionality outside of the counting stat of goals is what I think EtH is working towards.

His hold up and bringing players in is decent enough and having someone like Bruno, Eriksen and Antony (similar to what kharva was doing today, cutting in and whipping a cross in) playing crosses into.the box like today would give us so many more goals than we currently have. We have no one who occupies or hits the box, Rashford still proves that's not his forte and Martial is no different.
Moyes-ball v FulhamDo we really wanna play like that, though? Endless crossing reminds me of... I don't even wanna say it.
It's pretty much the only option if a team decides to double up on your winger and camp in their box! He scores all types of goals, but for me it's all about finding profiles we're missing from our current side, that would be effective.Do we really wanna play like that, though?

If you look how Calabria and who ever played on the wing doubled up on Kharva, if that happens with Rashford, what use is Martial in those scenarios?

Ten Hag's Ajax?
Of all the teams in the English, Spanish, Italian, German, French and Dutch leagues last season, only one averaged more crosses per 90 than Ajax. The season before that, only two.
It's not a coincidence that he has more often than not opted for big, physical CFs. The man likes having that target.
Goal poaching is still one of the most sought after ability in the game. Osinhem hold up play is different and better in other situation. His pressing is very good too.Martial excels in link-up play and will do it with Eriksen, Antony and Bruno if Rashford is doubled up on. That's the beauty with Martial. His effective one-twos, close control, strength and hold-up play can easily carve a defense open in a split second. Osimhen, on the other hand, does not have his close control or quick feet and will instead camp in their box waiting for a cross. We would absolutely have more goals with him in the team this season, but is it worth €150m than another striker who could be just as efficient, but also better in other areas?

Nobody carve that Milan defense today up using Napoli tactic. Trying to dribbling 2-3 players, passing around only facing another set of blocker won't do. They had one of the top dribbler in Europe and failed miserably this game. It's time to go direct which got them the consolation goal. They left it too late. In that scenario, Osinhem is one of the few best CF you can find at the moment.
Fair enough. Odd how he went for Weghorst who is an incredibly bad header of the ball if he wanted to play like that here I guess we'll see in the summer who he wants
Oh I don't think he's worth 150m by any stretch of the imagination, but I think you're overstating what Martial does vs what Osimhen does. Their records speak for themselves and Martial has never shown he can be just as efficient in Osimhens strengths.Martial excels in link-up play and will do it with Eriksen, Antony and Bruno if Rashford is doubled up on.

Kvaradona not one of the 10 best dribblers in Serie A??Assuming we had all our players fit - Do you think we would beat Milan today?
Kvaratskhelia is a massive talent, indeed, but he isn't even top 10 dribblers in Serie A. Additionally, he didn't really have a particularly good game, so Rashford might have been way more effective.
The same question could also be asked the other way around; because Osimhen was camping in the box, forcing Milan to put up a low-block, could Martial have helped opening up the defense? Osimhen thrives with space, so essentially by not giving him any, the odds of him scoring are very slim, although he did in the end.
