Unless his price has dropped significantly or they want Greenwood and Sancho, doesn't seem overly likely.
How do we play?Why? He’s the least likely to suit how we play
Well, he’s not a player who makes many of his own chances and one of our issues is creating enough chances..How do we play?
He makes many runs in behind the opponent’s centerbacks, he knows how to attacks crosses and get good headers. We have the quality to create those chances for him if we want to…Well, he’s not a player who makes many of his own chances and one of our issues is creating enough chances..
If the quality is there to create chances, then why is Hojlund being defended with the excuse that he doesn't get enough service? And if there indeed isn't enough service, why would it be different for Osimhen?He makes many runs in behind the opponent’s centerbacks, he knows how to attacks crosses and get good headers. We have the quality to create those chances for him if we want to…
Happy if we do but I’ll believe it when i see it. Otherwise we have a 100m player that we have no clue aboutHe makes many runs in behind the opponent’s centerbacks, he knows how to attacks crosses and get good headers. We have the quality to create those chances for him if we want to…
we don't cross the ball very often b/c of our winger situation so that won't be of any helpHe makes many runs in behind the opponent’s centerbacks, he knows how to attacks crosses and get good headers. We have the quality to create those chances for him if we want to…
I can’t either but let them daydreamCan't see us spending that much on one player let alone a player in the same position as Hojlund
I meant the player quality, not the play style quality… we aren’t playing to his strengths. I am not convinced Osimhen is a priority (but the idea we can’t get something out of him is wrong), i believe Hojlund can only improve. The priority in attack should be some better rightwing options than Anthony…If the quality is there to create chances, then why is Hojlund being defended with the excuse that he doesn't get enough service? And if there indeed isn't enough service, why would it be different for Osimhen?
For me I’d take the former because we don’t have that type of player. Whereas the latter depends on being fed chances, a huge 100m gamble when one of our issues is making chancesLet me get this right, we don't need a Zirkzee type Striker because he drops too deep and now we also don't need a Osimhen type as well because he doesn't drop deep and needs service to thrive. So please what type of striker do you guys actually want because I'm confused. It seems every player we are linked with isn't what we need according to those on here.
But he is a striker who knows exactly where to be in penalty box. Exactly what we need. Killer in the box. He would be amazing signing.Well, he’s not a player who makes many of his own chances and one of our issues is creating enough chances..
Please be true.
I know it is not![]()
Probably in that order. Move to Chelsea, become another victim of the Stamford Bridge graveyard for no.9s, and then move to Saudi.This is the most Chelsea transfer ever.
He is either staying at Napoli or going to Chelsea (or to Saudi Arabia).
Because i don't judge players based on do i "like" them or not. I rate them based on what they do on the pitch. Yes, i think that Hojlund (at least right now) is not good enough to lead a line of Man Utd. But i am perfectly happy with having him as second option and see how he will develop.This is confusing. You don't think Højlund is good enough, but you're begging for a striker who share the exact same weaknesses other than aerially?
He barely scored more than Højlund last season despite playing in a much weaker league and for a team that play to his strengths.
He is heavily reliant on service and is worse at link-up play than Højlund, misses at least 10 games per season to injuries, is 5 years older, will cost more than €100m and has had one good season?
Signing him makes absolutely no sense at all, but I guess it just comes down to you liking him for whatever reason.

Osimhen is a top striker and miles better than Hojlund. It is not even a contest (except for fanboys like you).
But hey, don't worry. Hojlund will be our starting striker next year. This is BS story.
Edit: wait, Osimhen has only one good season? What?!
Yep that’s why they be always been against this signing. Not that i don’t rate him as a player, I do. But, what’s the point in paying such a fee & high salary if we don’t create him enough crosses and passes to score from. Most of the time our wingers cut in to shoot. We would have to change up our attacking ideas.While I don't disagree, this is why this place is insufferable sometimes when it comes to strikers especially. Too many are unable to differentiate lack of goalscoring ability with lack of opportunity. You can't just "add goals" to a team like it's a fecking addition problem unless the literal only problem in the team was that everyone was putting it on a plate for the striker who missed countless sitters all year (Nunez).
I certainly that we should be careful when dealing with the Napoli lot. They tried to sell Sergej Milinković-Savić for over 100m too
You're thinking of lazioI certainly that we should be careful when dealing with the Napoli lot. They tried to sell Sergej Milinković-Savić for over 100m too
There is no way he is coming to us and I am very fine with that. We do not currently need galacticos
Certain United fans need to move away from the delusion that any one, "mesiah" player will save our team. We need 6-7 good, consistent players, not just one star.
Look at Joao Neves. There is no way we should pay 120mil for him, or anywhere close to it. He is a great midfielder but he was bullied by Georgia, just yesterday. What will he do against premiership clubs if the rest of the team is not there? Nothing
We dont currently have any need for luxury players. Maybe in 3-4 years
We could be linked to Ronaldo in his prime and people would still find something to complain about.Let me get this right, we don't need a Zirkzee type Striker because he drops too deep and now we also don't need a Osimhen type as well because he doesn't drop deep and needs service to thrive.

Damn getting my lazio and Napoli’s mixed up again. Whoops. As you wereThat would be incredible considering he never played for them.![]()
Bad in the air. Don't want.We could be linked to Ronaldo in his prime and people would still find something to complain about.
It is amazing how people who watch football regulary underestimate striker's positioning and anticipation in the box. And based on that, "service" excuse comes into conversation.Why are you getting upset?
You're just stating your own opinions without backing them up with any evidence. It's not that I disagree with you. I also think Osimhen is a better striker, but they have the exact same weaknesses so it doesn't make sense to sign Osimhen for over €100m who is going to struggle to make an impact on the game like Højlund does. He is no Martial type and similarly to Højlund is reliant on service to get to chances. What are your reasons for wanting to sign him other than "he's top striker and miles better"? You don't seem to have thought out this potential transfer so much and haven't considered at all how we as a team play football, which is why I assume you just want to sign him because you just have a hard-on for him.
You rate players on what they do on the pitch? Okay, have you watched Napoli and Osimhen at all this season? You think that's a striker that should be leading the line for us? You say he knows where to be in the box, but what does that matter when he scored 12 open play goals during a season? It is literally two more than Højlund and in a much weaker league.
He is excellent aerially and great hold-up player, and that is it. He misses a lot of sitters and 1v1 with the keeper, but I'm sure you know this already if you've watched him.
Yes, Osimhen has only had one good season, which was the 22/23 season. The season before he scored 14 goals and the season before that he scored 10. You think that's great? In that case, you'll like Højlund![]()
