Di Marzio used to be THE transfer window authority but is super spotty these days. I will say, though, that Napoli buying Lukaku permanently with Osimhen coming the other way only on loan does sound too good to be true.

It does sound too good to be true- I have my reservations on Osimhen, I don't rate as high as some but I'd take this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Napoli want the money now. Unless it is an obligation with a hefty loan fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsc 1,097 Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 Di Marzio is a known fraud but even a broken clock is right twice a day, would be surprising if they're actually open to a loan with no obligation (unless Lukaku is also a loan with no obligation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,492 Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 I don't have a huge problem with the deal but I'd still prefer to do this deal with just Lukaku leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre. Osimhen on a loan? Eh!! They really did fuck us with the Enzo and Caicedo transfers along with 100 no name teenage dirtbag purchases. such a shithow. We are lucky to get 35m pounds for Gallagher. Tell me another club willing to pay that much for him right now. He is a workhorse midfielder. We played him regularly because of injuries and he was our best midfielder last season. But right now, we need to sell or sign him to a new deal as a backup.

Osimhen on a Netflix 1 year trial is smart. £30-35m for Gallagher who has a year left on his deal and wasn’t in the manager’s plans is perfectly fine. Im not hating on Caicedo and Enzo as players, i meant the price we paid for them has hampered future deals in regards to PSR. I think Gallagher is worth at least £45 given his recent rise in stock. Dont forget we are paying close to £30-35m on unproven talent from all over the gaff. A loan deal fro Osimhen isnt as bad i first thought.

Thor 2,716 Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 Do people on here just complain to complain? Saying we wasted money on Caicedo and Enzo? You were all begging for them to get in. Not going for Gyokeres? He was a championship level player according to some but other teams want him so now Clearlake are clowns again. Not going for Calafiori? I'd love to know the amount of people who actually knew him before the Euro's and our links. Complaining for the sake of complaining. Our defence is the only thing holding us back. And by that, I mean central defenders. They've done great on the rest of the scouting.

mkh 598 Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 Mikel Obi on Victor Osimhen: 🎙️"He's got the arrogance. He’s got the personality. You can feel someone has walked into the dressing room. And that’s what Didier [Drogba] had… my advice for him is to come to Chelsea.” ~ @obionepodcast Norfolkblue1961, Fulham Broadway and LAM09 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,320 Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 Osimhen isnt going to stop us conceding stupid goals. We'll just have to be like Keith Allens Vindaloo 'we will score one more than you' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,492 Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 I doubt Ornstein got the facts wrong. But it sure looks like they're back-pedalling from the loan news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,928 Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 Welp. Judging by Fabrizio’s latest tweet with a quote from Osimhen’s agent, Di Marzio is the one who was right, not Ornstein. The loan move was always too good to be true. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody said we wasted money on Enzo and Caicedo… the fact that we over spent on both and it has clearly effected our present and future spending power and was, whether you like it or not, a shit move for the overall balance of the squad. Its actually quite clear that you have become the constant complainer, always complaining about others complaining. Go figure.

Vintage piece of clownlake business. They are driving this club head first into the abyss trying to look smart. Smith Rowe off to Fulham for around the same money. You just have to laugh at times.
