I’m here to tell you that Osimhen isn’t who you think he is, at all.

Brilliant athlete but I wonder how he’ll get on when he discovers he can’t run over everyone physically in the Prem like he does in Serie A - that was the reason he struggled in AFCON and Lukaku was horrible on his return to Chelsea.

The Gap between Osimhen and Solanke is way smaller than the people imagine.

Nobody is exactly falling over themselves to pay Napoli’s price…

fuck off the centre back and midfielder idea and bring in attacking options ffs.

Also what about a back up LB?

The hesitation over Donley moving on loan makes me think if he gets through the Bayern game tomorrow and does alright, we may keep him on as LB depth.

Which in turn will probably rule out signing a CB (as Romero, VDV, Dragusin and Davies should realistically be fine until Jan atleast)
 
He also said this

"At Celtic, I had Kyogo, who was a sort of out and out number nine and in Japan, l've always had a striker. It just depends, like last year we had to be a bit creative, it's to fair say. You know but if Harry would have stayed I definitely would have used him!" he
said. "So I think for us what's more important is the type of striker we get. You know we play a certain way. We demand certain things from a physical perspective from the technical aspects of it that it's going be a
striker that fits that mould. "It's still the area of the park we're really probably the thinnest when I talk about squad-wise at the moment, so obviously
that's a focus for us."

Not exactly a ringing endorsement for Richarlison. A striker is clearly his priority. I think he will end up disappointed.

Your logic is that because other strikers had one good season and failed that Solanke will do the same. Cool.

Your logic is to read only part of post (cause what, brain capacity runs out?). Cool.
Also you totally write off fact that he is a player having completed one good EPL season before turning 27. Cool.

I said in last part - I've never seen a single stand-out attribute of Solanke that would have impressed me whenever I've seen him play. And that's why I am not fan of potentially signing him.

Sure, I agree he is most likely better than Richie. And between signing no CF and signing Solanke I'd prefer latter. But I've just never been impressed by his ability.

Solanke sounds like a word people would say when they tickle someone.

Donley?
That would he insanely fucking stupid to trust a 19 year old attacking midfielder who literally just got 'converted' into a left back to start games in the premiership should udogie be injured.
