Lukaku wants Napoli and Osimhen wants Chelsea.

Straight swap it. 

 

Lukaku is a 100 mil player. Our previous purchase price says so. 

Just say its two 100 mil players going both ways lol... Napoli's book problem solved.

I'm normally quite skeptical on transfer deals but I have got massive confidence this osimhen deal gets done, they have what we want and we have what they want. The desire of Lukaku to get out and our will to do the same, and on the flip side Osimhen's and Napoli's will to get him out is what will get this done.

A big thank you to Antonio Conte if this goes through. Still looking out for his old club 🙂

Don’t believe anything you see if it ain’t Ornstein at this point. Even Fabrizio has been super spotty this summer.

Especially for a deal/player as big as Osimhen. Doubt anything significant has changed.

Osimhens wages are insane for our current structure, it's one of the biggest bonuses of having these guys in, read on here that our average wage is 60k down from 200k, that's without getting rid of Rom, Chilly and Raheem (hopefully).

In 1 year, Osimhen will have the same status as Lukaku.

Guy has no self awareness, genuinely thinks he is a complete striker, I really hope we can ship him off to Saudi if he fails otherwise it's Lukaku all over again.

Hot and cold on VO.

He has something clearly - but it isn't that 100 mil type player something.

I think we've struck gold with Jackson, and now we're going to take away time on the field for him to grow some more. 

[mkh 577]

Osimhen's current weekly salary is
£ 211,231 (basic)
£ 42,180 (bonus)

I don't think Chelsea will take him for less than 200k a week.

It looks better for Joao Felix, who signed a new contract with Atletico Madrid on 13 January 2023 with a salary reduction of:
 £240,230 (base)

To:
Weekly
98,860 £ (base)
0 £ (bonus)

Yeah, VO seems like a slow moving car crash to me. I think he will come in and look ok, with people thinking he will develop/just needs to settle, but just get worse over time. 

Under absolutely no circumstances should this guy be on more than £120k a week under our current structure if that is what the guide for Fernandez and Caicedo is.

He's a player who's overall game isn't the greatest but get this man in the box and create a chance, he'll likely put it away. Almost complete opposites with he and Jackson. 

I think with Osimhen we know what we are getting.

Club is desperate to sell Gallagher and will do it for 10% of his worth and happily pay twice the asking price for player with no place in the team, that's what will happen I guess.  Who cares the whole "pRoFiT oN bOoKs" argument kinda falls down if he is gone for penauts.

Funny to think Marina had no real businness background yet managed to be way more effective, than business people of gigantic investment fund.

There is no bigger myth than Marina & that whole group being good, pretty awful actually and the criminality she oversaw is about to get us seriously punished too.

She oversaw us moving away from having perhaps the best squad in Europe to having a pretty mediocre one which could have some brief runs at trophies but never sustain us as a side challenging for PL every year in a serious way.

Sold two of the greatest footballers in modern times in Salah and De Bruyne.

Spent tonnes of money on utter wank too, but pre a lot of transfer inflation - she'd absolutely be doing the same stuff if she was still here.

Also handed out insane salaries to a bunch of terrible footballers that hindered us for years.

Total fraud and people remember her and the group that were running Chelsea in that period in a way that is very detached from reality.

Some of you are never happy lol. Acting like theres a Prime Aguero up for grabs somewhere else. Osimhen is the best thing available. Go get him.
