If anything happens and the deal collapses or PSG suddenly jump in and turn his head it would completely fuck us and we end up with nobody to pivot to.

PSG have had the whole transfer window to convince him, but they haven't even bid for him. 😆

At this point, he's either coming to the PL or he'll be forced to accept the Saudi deal.

Something will give today with VO, I'm betting by late tonight we will have concrete info that we have either advanced the deal or have completely backed off and are on to other options. It's Wednesday now, talks today continue, after today tow days to get it over the line, that includes him coming to London so today is a big day for me

Realistically, if it's not VO and we end up with Toney or even worse like DCL at Everton....what a waste of a transfer window 🤬

Talks ongoing right now with us and Osimhen, key hours ahead.

[TheHulk 2,403]

The striker market is so sad, most of us want Osimhen to happen only because the alternatives if we fail to get him are top trash.

The key and importance of today is apparently personal terms, if we can get that green lighted then the rest is straight forward. We have to get Osimhen to accept on our terms and the price with Napoli is an easy bridge to gap as they need to get rid of him.  If the gap in what he is on and what we want to pay that can be made up in bonuses added into the deal, interesting hours ahead.

Has anyone here watched VO in great depth? 

I see a lot of things that can go wrong, but I definitely see someone who can light it up as well. 

I don't see the same issues as I do with Rom as he is a much, much harder worker and a pressing machine. But his finishing seems iffy at times, and comes across clumsy and unrefined in a lot of areas. Or maybe I'm wrong and it just looks unconventional?

why do we go after Osimhem, we already have Jackson, Felix, Nkunku. Do not get it...

Anjorin said his goodbyes to Chelsea (he is going to Empoli).

Such a shame about his injuries, was supposed to be another talented attacking midfielder from the academy, bit like Loftus-Cheek.  

Hopefully he does well for Empoli

He is definitely better than Rom (who of course we should never have signed), aside from his injury problems.

He presses and puts his body on the line, he has demonic power shots and great aerial / heading ability. Puts in a good shift. Very poor passing and ugly dribbling but like with forwards like Costa when we had him its ugly yet effective when in form.

He takes tonnes of shots and will miss a lot and frustrate us a lot in the games when he doesn't score. But with the volume of shots he gets in he does score plenty of goals.

If he isn't scoring at least 20 league goals a year he will be a downgrade on NJ imo, because NJ also assists and helps massively in build up as demonstrated beautifully vs Wolves. I am not even convinced Osimhen is a 100% guaranteed starter for us, but definitely a great option to have in the squad.

according to DiMarzio AlAhli is ready to relaunch another offer for VO 

 

 

[Pizy 18,852]

Think at this point it’s going to come down to how wide the gap is between our wage offer and the Saudi one and also how ambitious Osimhen is. 

You would hope that our wage offer isn’t something he and his agent deem “disrespectful.” Like, offer a base salary of just over £200k per week to bring him in line with our top earners and give him incentives to hit which will give him raises. Because if we offer him £120k a week they’ll probably (rightly) laugh in our faces and tell us to fuck off.
