Victor Osimhen

Is there any way we could just get Napoli, Osimhen, Rashford and ourselves into a room, say to the lads - "look neither of you are going to be getting 250-300k a week anymore, things aren't working out where you are. Why don't we just have a straight swap, you both sign a contract for 150k a week plus some decent performance related bonuses and let's try to rebuild both careers?"

I'm entirely sure that would be possible. I'm also entirely sure that both players would look at the club officials as if they were insane for suggesting that they just randomly give up millions of euros, then just walk out the room.
 
He’s got some glaring weaknesses to his game. Quite a poor footballer, and his ability to control, manipulate and pass the ball to a high level is not there. He is of course a much bigger goal-threat than Hojlund, has excellent pressing and work-rate and is probably the best aerial centre forward in the world - but I don’t think he’s a good enough player for the very top.

How long is left on both contracts? They're making millions anyway, and if they rebuild their reputations they can make millions more when negotiating their next contracts. They are both losing money elsewhere at the moment - Rashford for not featuring for England and lately, not even for United. Osimhen for not playing in one of the big leagues. The amount that is going to be costing them both in terms of sponsorship and such is not going to be inconsiderable.

As things stand currently, Rashford would be extremely lucky to be offered 100k total for his next deal. Does playing for England again motivate him? In 10 years time is he going to look back thinking "I'm glad I had that extra €100k a week to add to the millions I've made?

Osimhen will back himself to get a move at his current wage, Rashford would fair no better under Conte than Amorim. In fact I'd say Conte is even less forgiving for lack of effort.
 
A rangey, athletic forward that gets off a tonne of shots is precisely what we need.

He's got limitations, but given the lack of quality CF options on the market, this has to be someone we're looking at

That's far too sensible for Utd and Rashford would never entertain a £200k plus wage cut
 
At this stage of the season, with the current position the club finds themselves in. Would he be worth the financial outlay to finished say 10th instead of 13th.

If Amorim wants him for the next 3 years then great, but I think he will have eyes on Gyokeres in the summer.

Yeah all the noises sound like he is preferred target, we could never afford it but would a Gyokeres wide forward and Osimhen leading the line work at all.

Gyokeres, Osimhen, and a wide forward in the same starting XI?

That would certainly be a departure from typical 'Amorim ball'. In fact, I see no way that would work without switching to a 5-3-2.

Both Gyokeres and Osimhen are out and out 9s. Putting either in one of the 10 roles would be fitting square pegs into round holes, and would represent a continuation of our piss poor squad planning.

Has to be one or the other.

The dilemma is that Gyokeres only real weakness is aerially whereas that's a real strength of Osimhen. On the other hand Gyokeres has the better all round game so edges it for me.
