Pizy 18,918 Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 The Osimhen stuff still hasn’t gone away. The English side of the reporting keeps insisting that we want him on loan and the Italian side keeps insisting that a loan is not possible. I wonder if the club is hoping that Napoli blink first and agree to some sort of swap deal. It’s really risky because if Napoli get tired of waiting for us to lower Lukaku’s price and move on to another target it would REALLY screw us over. Because he seems like the kind of asshole who would be perfectly fine sitting out 6 months if he doesn’t get the move he wants and refusing to go anywhere else other than Napoli.

Pizy 18,918 Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 City apparently tried for Pedro Neto at the last moment. I believe it, too. He’d have been a great signing for them just as he would be for any of the big clubs. They were gonna use that Alvarez money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we use the Conference league for some of them, 30 could work. I think I read that Maresca wants to be at 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,918 Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 Man, I hope the Osimhen stuff doesn’t drag until the deadline. If the club still wants another striker after Omorodion but are refusing to pay Osimhen’s wages then just move on ASAP to the next target. Ordinarily, you’d think this would be a super simple deal to get done. We have someone Napoli’s manager desperately wants, that player badly wants to go there, and Napoli have something we really want which is an undisputed number 1 striker. I don’t think the transfer fee is much of an issue any longer because Napoli have significantly lowered their asking price by all accounts. So this big holdup has to be our club desperately trying to get Osimhen to lower his wage demands to something they deem reasonable. What we absolutely DON’T want is this dragging all the way to the deadline, having no real fall back option, and then PSG or Arse jump in and snag him.

And he was linked with them. I think their head football operations guy & directors of football, Michael Edwards and the other guy they appointed from Bournemouth might have decided against due to injury record. I think they may want an attacker for that right side incase Salah goes down but by sounds of it, isn’t a huge priority as they want a 6 and a CB. Their record with signing players with bad injury records also has been pretty good. Can’t remember one really bad one. Its still 50/50 for us also with Neto in terms of him justifying his fee mainly for injuries. If he ends up like Reece has this last few seasons for instance, playing only so many games, it won’t look like a good deal. Hes talented though so lets hope it works Edited August 10, 2024 by OneMoSalah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
