I kind of agree but at the right price I'm willing to give Osimhen a shot. He is a poor mans Haaland but City have shown you can make it work with a great finisher who is a terrible footballer. Honestly my bigger gripe is that he's just another very injury prone player.

I honestly just see VO as an average player. Also, poor man Haaland is a big concern. Haaland isn't technically great so has to be a freak in terms of physicality and desire. Without either of those two he becomes bang average.

Osimhen is a striker that has outperformed his xG for the past several seasons. In essence, literally every expected goal he receives he puts away. 

We need a finisher. Not a fan of his overall game but he puts the ball in the back of the net and is a threat inside the box. 

 

This is all well and good, but does he create the same xG in a more difficult league? It is all well outperforming your xG, but if your xG is already poor than that means your ultimate numbers are still poor.

I highly doubt we sell him

I am against his sale

But who does he play ahead of? He more than likely doesn’t play ahead of Lavia, Enzo, KDH & Caicedo and 2 of those will be 2 of our MF 3 with Nkunku/Cole. So he will not play regularly. Also not to mention if Gallagher deal collapses. 

Then there is Santos who is on loan, is he not part of the long term plan or is he now another dud 😂? And Casadei? And Veiga can apparently play as a 6 also.

Don’t see him playing regularly at all. So should just sell. Maybe loan. Was a pointless signing in first place - should have went to the sister club in France.

We need to clear space and whilst he can be registered as a u21, if he is rarely going to be involved, why bother?

Me at the moment with all these transfer complications...

[Special Juan 28,765]

Di Marzio saying Manna is now in London to discuss Gilmour and Lukaku

[Pizy 19,280]

So why would we now have Gallagher fly back to the UK unless the deal is still on? Surely that indicates that it’s looking less and less likely now? Because if we’re still negotiating and a breakthrough finally happens today he’d have to turn straight back around? It makes no sense.

I think this deal is dead and we have one hell of a headache on our hands. He’ll probably now refuse any other move after this long, embarrassing saga and just let his contract run down. And at this point I wouldn’t blame him whatsoever for doing so. 

[Special Juan 28,765]

It's today or bust for Connor, I think he will remain in Spain as long as possible today so both parties can get the agreement. If that fails and he comes back it's simply game over

[TheHulk 2,647]

Go in the middle and get both Felix and Gallagher over the line.

[TheHulk 2,647]

Great start of the season with this idiot again.

Why are you so mad? Because they bought a great footballer like Felix and sold an anti-footballer like Gallagher? 

People like you destroy my club and make it mediocre

Yes because i'm  tell the  truth and   people like you support these clowns who destroy this club .

Abouth Gallagher he is not Chelsea level anyway if we are proper team like under Roman but he is  our  best midfielder this is our level now  and the clowns force him out for pound notes  . Joao Felix  how many more wingers and playmakers they will get ? 5 , 10  ? WE still need proper ST , world class defender , goalkeeper ? This clud is shambles  if you want still believe that we will win anything with these clowns your problem but  don't be surprised when the team isn't even in the top 6 again this season.

[Thor 2,819]

Proper team under Roman, but we weren't competitive in the league since 2017... Won a CL with a good run, and that was a bandaid to a downfall that was happening for a long period. Look at the signings in the 5 years prior to Clearlake and tell me all the good signings.

He'll just play reserves/U-21 football for a season and then go on a free.

can someone remind me, why do we have to buy a player from atletico for the gallagher transfer to go through? is it because they dont have enough money for his transfer alone? if so, they are a bigger joke than us.

It’s obviously a play by them. They calculate that we are so desperate to still get a fee for Conor after he kept rejecting contract offers from us and teams like villa  that we will take one of their failbogs in exchange. They probably are right. Bc conor is pure profit we can’t really afford to lose him on a free

Yeah, it did look like we were so desperate for the FFP money we were willing to take a player from them at a vastly inflated rate. He obviously doesn't have much of a market as otherwise someone else would've been in for him (Samu).

wtf!

fuck that fucking cunt

I am seriously triggered now

[OneMoSalah 9,104]

£50m for Felix - no thanks. Ridiculous if we make such a deal. Nobody else actually wants him what does that tell you? But Scatter Gun FC probably will probably end up signing him.

The £50m thing sounds like bullshit to me. There’s no chance we pay that much.

Deal seems all but dead anyways.

Permanent makes more sense. I don’t think with Caicedo & Lavia he has a realistic long term future here. Barring a very very spectacular development.

@Pizy lets hope so. Paying £50m for someone they don’t want and wouldn’t have a clear and obvious role in our team here is a stupid move on all accounts.
