C'mon, we just signed a 16 year old with a 10 in 1 against Liverpool.
Victor Osimhen | out of options | goes to Gala on loan

Like? No one besides Zlatan, Martial and Lukaku himself has come close to that number playing for us as a striker in the last XI years.
The fee generated is not his fault. I did not want him when we signed him but he is a proven goal scorer whether you like it not. That is why teams keep taking a punt on him. Also, he hasn't done badly in Italy. His record with Inter was pretty good and it's not a surprise that Conte wants him at Napoli.
Never said it was. Said he was overrated, which you've just agreed with.

Has submitted a transfer request now.
A big name striker available for what would be a huge transfer fee and an exorbitant salary.
I feel sorry for Ed Woodward being out of a job. These were the moments he lived for.

Chelsea will finally get their striker.
Looks a bit of a one season wonder as he didn’t look great last season and was only decent at best before moving to Napoli, glad we didn’t move for him.
I'm ready INEOS. Get us an out & out striker!
He’s not worth the money they’d want
I don't agree. I think he is a lethal striker, just more of a classic 9. Not the most technical player on the ball, but he is athletic and fast, heads the ball well, and has a good eye for goal. He is just really dependent on setup and service. If the team can do that, he will deliver the goods. Unfortunately, Napoli have fallen off a lot after the managerial change.
I wouldn't want him here because United already have Hojlund, and Napoli would want a king's ransom for him. But I think he could be a game changer for a team like Arsenal, if they can afford him. Going to Chelsea would be a waste.
Shame we spent our budget on Zirkzee. Would have doubled it for this guy.
Alright Ed?
Unless you’re creating lots of chances then you’d have wasted your money. Hes about as much of a footballer as Haaland is
He's not very good.
Who is? Transfer fees might as well be Monopoly money!
It is funny seeing the clamour for him when he would have done no better than Hojland last season. Our goals scored is down to poor creation and control stats rather than anything to do with a striker.
would rather get evan ferguson from brighton
Is he a little injury prone? Also we know Brighton is going to fleece us with the fee.
Incredible to think how much money Napoli lost because they didn’t sell him when his value was high.
Repeat of Koulibaly
Hoping that transfer request brings the fee down considerably
Why? We won’t be buying him so more they want the more someone else has to pay
What is a fair price for him?
Not sure, but we injure players anyway...
On a more serious note, he's 19 I think, Wharton is 20, Yoro 18. If we got Ferguson and Wharton in next summer. That gives us a nice young spine of the team that can only get better as they get older.
Millibland?
And what exactly we should do with Hojlund and Zirkzee .
With the transfer request, perhaps 70 + 5m?
The internet is saying Osimhen to Chelsea is back on, now that the Omorodion deal has collapsed.
I thought Felix is the Omorodion replacement??
Yeah with Atleti, though I have no idea why Felix needs to go to Chelsea.
Chelsea seemingly want a striker.
Play them in the reserve team and have them on the bench when needed.
They haven't though. The only crazy offer they received was from Saudi and they accepted it - Osimhen rejected the destination. The offers they're getting - unofficially - are the same as last summer, in the region of ~80M euros. Ideally they want to hold out for the buyout clause though. The problem is not enough of a market for expensive strikers this summer, with PSG the only game in town so far
Transfer requests are not a real thing. FM is a game, it's not reality
Transfer Requests are a real thing.
Players lose some sort of bonus by doing so but they are a reality.

They're not. They used to be real, but these days no agent worth his job agrees to anything like that. Osimhen has wanted to leave since last summer, Napoli has known about it since last summer, and agreeing on thr conditions of his exit were one one of the biggest points of contention when they negotiated his extension. Manna's words are directed at their fanbase. It's known that Osimhen wants to leave and Napoli wants to sell - they literally put that on paper like 6 months ago
Yep that seems to be the case.
Napoli have this billy big ones when it comes to dealing transfers with them and that to be fair is well justified but there are times when the players wishes/ demands make things nigh on impossible to navigate
I haven’t seen too many rumours but the suggestion is that Conte wants both Lukaku ( as is well known) but there are suggestions that Conte also wants Casadei who is said wants to go back to Italy . Throw the supposed value of those two ( circa €50 million) and then all of a sudden there potentially is a deal to be done which from a PR perspective seems a win win.
He will end up at Chelsea, do okay but not really excel because of how much of a mess Chelsea are, yet they will still probably manage to sell Jackson for £60m next season to replace him with the next big striker and the cycle will continue.
Yep, which is why they are a last resort for players. They forgot their "loyalty" bonus and all other sorts stuff.
