Proven Striker  in  defense league like Calcio Italy , better than Sesko , Michael  Jackson . But top players like him don't fit into our  farming kindergarten model . We love Brazillian kids  farming them in Strasbourg to make profit  .

Osimhen has as many 15+ goal seasons as Tammy Abraham.

chiesa has been plagued by injuries: mostly knee and muscle. Warning signs all over.

In any case, what ever would we do with a right footed wide player? That would only confuse things surely. 🙂

There’s been a big update on the Manchester United manager situation as my understanding now is that Thomas Tuchel and Man United are not expected to reach an agreement for the former Bayern Munich manager to become the new manager at Old Trafford. I can confirm Christian Falk’s report here that Tuchel had a meeting with Man Utd, they had many contacts and Tuchel was always considered the favourite candidate in case United decided to part ways with Erik ten Hag.

A decision on Ten Hag has not been made yet, so what’s going on? As I’ve said recently, Man United are having meetings with several agents and representatives of managers to make sure they assess all the options on the market before making a decision on a new manager, or on keeping Ten Hag.

Tuchel was the favourite of these options because he had direct conversations with Manchester United, and direct contact with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, but my understanding now is that Tuchel wants to take a break from football this summer. Tuchel doesn’t want to take any job for now, so his decision is to leave the conversations. Tuchel wants to take a break, he had talks with Man United but he’s currently planning to relax and wait for new opportunities in the future, but for sure, Tuchel was the closest to getting the job in case they considered a change.

Let’s see what will happen, if Man United will try to make one last effort or not, or if they decide to continue with Ten Hag or consider someone else for the job. But at the time of writing, Tuchel’s intention looks clear - to not continue in talks with Manchester United, so they are not expected to continue this conversation for the former Chelsea manager to take over at Man United. Now it’s on Manchester United to decide what they want to do, what happens with Ten Hag and other candidates.

Man United need to buy essentially a whole new team. They need 2 new fullbacks, 2 new CB’s, at least 1 new midfielder, at least 1 new winger, and another striker as rotation for Hoijland. People call us a mess of a club and that may be true off the pitch. But we are in much, MUCH better shape as a club than they are and only need 2-3 new signings to complete our team.

Why Olise would want to go there instead of coming here I have no idea. And I’m someone who doesn’t even think we need him and don’t necessarily want him. I could understand if they had UCL football and we didn’t. Or if they looked like they were right on the brink of becoming a serious team whilst we finished 10th or something.

Yeah they are basically where we were 1-2 years ago. Admittedly its possible some players there could be good enough and just underperforming, they've certainly spent plenty of money, but it seems most likely they have spent big on duds due to how badly run it is as a club. Surely worst run club in the country (or maybe the world?).

[Mário César 1,282]

olise would be a very good deal due to is age, potential and actual quality 

I would put more faith on him than madueke

If we get olise, we need only a cf, a defender and maybe a goalkeeper and thats it

I'd say a mid too. People complain about injuries, but we were one knock away from a mid table finish.

cant understand this part

in the midfielder we have enzo, caicedo, gallagher, lavia and maybe chuck and maybe the other french fella

we are very stuck in this area. I think we could get a creative midfielder but Im not sure of that

[Mhsc 1,098]

Olise is unquestionably an upgrade on Madueke. If he's available at ~£60m as rumoured and wants to join Chelsea we should immediately buy him and figure everything else out later. He's a total baller and we'd find a good spot for him in the XI inevitably. Icing on the cake is he's a set-piece specialist. Big question is whether he actually wants to be here though, given he didn't join last summer despite us apparently trying hard for him (even though I wanted him badly all summer, who knows if we end up buying Cole Palmer if we had got him? so maybe should be thankful for that...)

If we can get Olise at ~£60m and Sesko ~£55m as rumoured then imo that is a great all around upgrade to our attack and that is a pretty unbelievable attacking line up going into the season, albeit still with some questions around our situation at the back.

we already scored a lot of goals last season and if we can get nkunku fit plus olise plus another cf - I would prefer Alvarez - I think we would have a pretty decent attack

Yes, maybe it's OK given that we missed out on Europe... dunno.

On the other hand, Caicedo played a LOT of games this season as did Cole and Conor. Caicedo in particular has Ugo(?!) as his immediate sub.
Caicedo for ex is Ecuador international, and there is Copa America this year.

Conor situ is also a bit weird; is he going for a new deal or wants to walk free? If the latter, then reckon the club shouldn't wait.

If we sign Olise, surely this fraud Sterling is gone right? I don't want another season with this guy.

A goal scoring tally we did get by playing unbelievably open football that cost us a record number of goals conceded though.

What’s with these Colwill-Bayern links?  Makes no sense

Looks like his agent making noise because of potential interest from big clubs on him.

Wants assurances around starting position/importance and likely money to match? dunno what his current deal looks like.
