If we have even a sniff of signing Osimhen for less than £150m we should be seriously looking at it.

He's a good player, but I don't think he'd suit us, just looks a more expensive Benteke for me.

Just read that there’s a third place play-off in the AFCON. 
 

If Egypt make the semis then Mo’s away for the lot. Mid-February he’d be back.

He signed an extension two weeks ago, with a release clause of 100 million + 

 

Move on I think

I mean...no. Fuck, no.

 

A rangier, harder working, Drogba.

 

Benteke used to just jog around gently, avoiding play as much as possible. He was one of the meekest professional footballers of all time. Osimhen is an absolute nightmare for centrebacks.

I just don't see him as a Premier League player mate. He'll die on his arse if he comes here.

Why?

 

Big, strong, works hard. Can play the ball into his feet, in behind, or in the air. He couldn't possibly be any more suited to the league.

 

He'll go to Real Madrid though. We can't afford him, and he wouldn't suit City's style of football.

Get it done

 

 

On the other hand can't get in the Dortmund team

[Scott_M]

Although I would like to see us address the whole left by Matip, ultimately as we’ve seen before, if it’s a choice between signing 2nd choice in January or 1st choice in the summer, we’ll won’t be signing anybody in January. 
 

Hope I’m wrong though.

What would he cost if we signed him on a bosman? I'm right in thinking, out of contract, youth international transfers within uefa have a set tarrif? 26m seems mental. Seems more likely we'd sign him on a pre-contract and offered them 10-20% more than the summer tarrif to do the deal now..

[Lee909]

Transfermarkt has his contract running till 2026

He is extended last season didn’t he?

[TD_LFC]

That tweet is from 2022 before he signed his new deal.

Shame on you if you’re denying us transfer excitement based on some random and outdated tweets. Really missing the spirit of this thread. 

[Colonel Bumcunt]

Keep an eye on this one. 

Moves like silk, nicks the ball back, looks like Thiago's heir.

Youssoufa Moukoko, the new Tonton Zola Moukoko.

So is there any credibility to last year's tweet or not?

Great spot, never heard of him. Have you considered a professional scouting role.

Injured all the time?

[Scott_M]

Seeing talk that Arsenal supporters want Ivan Toney in January to spear head their attack.

 

Have I missed the memo here that Toney is some world class striker?

 

He decent but there are much better out there. I’m not sure how much better he is than Nketiah. If they are going to be feeding him as many scraps as they would have done the last few games, I suspect he’ll be equally ineffective. 
 

9 months out, about to turn 28 in March, never played in Europe, 1 England cap…. He has a flop of Benteke proportions written all over him.

No I haven't. 

It sounds like I should do though, thanks for the feedback bro. 

 

[Megadrive Man]

Ivan Toney is miles better than Nketiah, but that's a low bar!

 

I think its more that there's a real lack of top strikers available now.
