Good player but the quoted price is absurd.
Victor Osimhen
- Thread starter Red the Bear

Come on Mendes, pull some shady shit so Napoli get first dibs on whoever your next potential superstar is or something.
Conflicting Osimhen reports
+ his teams owner coming out and dissing AFCON. I can see him being up for it to leave if someone is serious enough to bid.
We absolutely need a starting striker regardless of Antony. This guy would be great but seems high priced. Martial absolutely can not be relied upon - it’s been 18 months of injures.
He scored 18 goals in 32 appearances last season. He missed 12 games due to injury. Majority of those missed were due to a cheekbone fracture. So 20+ goals would of easily being achieved.
But for Napoli wanting triple digits? That's mental. I know they paid huge money for him a few years ago but still.

They paid up to 80m for him not that long ago and he's been their best player when available so I don't think they're out of line requesting at least 100m for his signature now tbf
He's a talented goalscorer, only 23 and getting better
Makes even more sense now after the Martial news.
Only way this happens is loan to buy next year you’d imagine.
I'd be willing to believe the rumours if it wasn't for the fact Napoli are wanting a three figure sum. That's just never going to happen.
Whatever happens we need him or someone else, Martial is injured. Again.
So napoli want £140m plus pay most of ronaldo's wages? I don't normally care about fees but are they sure they don't want us to pay their whole squad's annual wage bill too? get fecked!
I F******* loved watching Hamsik play.What about a bid for Hamsik?
Would much prefer us to spend the fund on him than Anthony
They will ask for that. He is their best player, alongside Anguissa maybe, and was bought for 75m. No way they let him go under that when Antony is going to be around 90m

I'm surprised that we weren't linked with him sooner but he's not quite worth the obscene money that De Laurentiis will ask for him. But out of the strikers in the market (not that he's really in the market) he's probably the best & the most complete one.
He's 35 and plays in Turkey now like Mertens.What about a bid for Hamsik?
Years ago I would've loved having him or Mertens in the side
At this point, I'm inclined for the Glazers to think feck FFP and just sign
FDJ - £50M
Antony - £80M
Osimhen - £100M
Depay - £10M
and be done with it.

If Ronaldo wants to play CL that much, he can be covering that 70% himself.
Wouldn't put a dent in what we can afford under FFP.
FDJ, Antony, Osimhen and a new RB - with that squad we’d be the first team ever to win the champions league without even being in the competition
Why do we have two threads open? Mods?
Because before I made the thread I searched for Victor "Oshimen" and obviously no thread was found and I couldn't find it because it was spelt wrong. So made a new thread.
It was then brought to my attention that the spelling was wrong. I have correcrted it now, but now, of course, there's 2 threads.
not your fault. Just find it odd it’s been 15 hours and no mod has merged or closed one of them.
With fees and majority of Ronaldo wages, no deal. Only happens is loan and maybe we pay some of Ronaldo wages and that a stretch too.
We can always go for Depay.

Napoli are impossible to deal with, Osenheim is a valued asset and they paid a lot of money for him.
This isnt even remotely a goer.

He's only turning 24 this year and has already scored 68 goals in all comps 6 seasons into his senior career. Equalled his own personal record, from Lille, last season with 18 goals in just 32 games in all comps for Napoli (For Lille he needed 38 games). Easily worth 140M.....
Seriously though, he's a very good talent and I would like him here, but amount of money is just stupid. 60M would be a fair price (Yes, I know Napoli payed more).

Yeah they're awful. They would rather not and let the value depreciate than go for a realistic price. See Kouliably.
Yep, I agree especially this late in the window now. I remember the ridiculous price tags they kept placing on Koulibaly every summer, they will do the same Oshimen.
The EPL is very big here in Nigeria, Man utd to a Nigerian footballer is like Real Madrid to a Brazilian.
See how Ighalo took a wage cut just and a fringe role to play for United, Osimhen would jump at the opportunity to move to United.
He's got great potential and is definitely a player that I hoped United would pursue maybe next year or two years' time but that rumoured Napoli demand is just hilarious.
Napoli are the same club who valued Koulibaly at 100m for years and didn't bring down their valuation until his deal winded down. They always turned down offers for Hamsik and Mertens and ended up keeping them for their entire primes.
They also sold Higuain for 90m when he was turning 30 years old so they typically stick to their valuations for the best talent. A player of Osimhen's age and profile, talented and productive striker with a very well rounded game, won't be sold for under 100m in today's market.
Honestly I'd be on board fully if we ever did try to send them a silly offer, he'd be a great buy for now and the future with a ton of upside.

feck it, get him. Spend next Summer's budget now.
I think we'd actually have a chance of Top 4.

Osimhen has a lot of potential to be world class striker. He’s a legit finisher in front of goal, a very strong header and great dribbler too. He’s also very pacey and has great athleticism(he’s great in counter-attacking). He’s also a high pressing forward and decent work rate ( which fits in ETH’s tactics). He needs to work on his passing skills a bit to be a more complete and better player.
I think this guy looks pretty amazing. If we can get him for, say, €110m rising to €140m (forget paying Ronaldo's wages) I don't think it would be the worst deal. Beggars can't be choosers at this late point in the window and with our desperation.
Focused and determined to play in the UCL with Napoli this season, according to a journalist close to the player.
One to keep an eye on for next Summer though.
