There is a really good forward in Roma who is out scoring Osimhen. 
We should get him!!

Good. We don't need yet another midfielder. We need finishers!

Surprised that we weren't linked to Nusa at all considering our owners seemed so keen on stockpiling talents. 

It's a shame that he's likely going to Spurs.

He’s playing too far forward he’d probably be more impactful in the box to box 8 role where he can shoot from distance and arrive late to the box. He’s not a 10 at all.

It really is a shame that we haven't had the chance to see Lavia play alongside Enzo/Caicedo.   Seems like whoever we buy these days becomes injury prone.

If we were looking for a wide forward I’d say this was a missed opportunity however there are players like Cyril Ngonge for Hellas Verona who could be just as dangerous. One to keep and eye on

[TheHulk 2,000]

Looks like most of the loanes doing great.

So we will have 1 striker for the rest of the season (with Nkunku's injury concerns)? 

[NikkiCFC 8,102]

Casadei, Santos, Moreira, Fofana all recalled... just shows you how many bad decisions have been made lately.

Tbf we got him for free and squeezed 2.5m out of Lyon as loan fee so we might make a profit on him overall if we just sell him.
he always looked like a nothing player  like most of the teens Boehly signed

I remember some people calling Vlahovic one season wonder and not wanting him here but are crazy about Osimhen. 

Vlahovic is younger btw and this is the stats of last 4 seasons in Seria A:
 

20/21:

Osimhen 10 goals

Vlahovic 21 goals

21/22:

14 vs 24 for Vlahovic

22/23:

26 vs 10 for Osimhen

23/24: 

11 vs 7 so far for Vlahovic.

So Vlahovic better in 3 of 4 seasons, younger over a year and cheaper around 40-50m. We really made mistake not going for him last summer when he was available. 

If anything Osimhen could be one season wonder...

100%. People were actually scoffing at the chance of buying Vlahovic. For me, he is a far better striker than Osimhen.

Both are middle of the pack. 

[DH1988 1,332]

Vlahovic for 50m would have been the equivalent of Llorente, a viable plan B against teams, of which we currently have no plan B, C or D.

Moreira was brought purely as a development player, wasn't he from Benfica's B team or something? 

Casadei was recalled as we're short in midfield till Lavia/Ugo come back from injuries

As for the Santos deal, I never understood why the player and club chose Forest...he could have easily played 10+ games in another league by now and showcased his skillset.

To add: 

Lyon bought Fofana and Orban, Moreira would get even less timeplay - and we get good fee for that loan. And to be honest - he is not good.

Leicester are looking to buy Sensi, are comfortably 1st in the league, they would have no business in developing our player, he would not play much.

Santos - we were deceived by Nottingham, they bought players after signing Santos, good we cut loan short.

Fofana - Union was a mess this season, and he got a lot of chances, didn't really do much for them.
