Box of Tricks Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Hopefully we get the Osimhen deal done, because I do not trust us at all around Samu Omorodion. If we didn't sign anyone up front then I'd be reasonably content with Jackson, Guiu and occasionally Nkunku, but I just think the "why didn't we buy a striker?" conversation would haunt us at times throughout the season.

Lets not forget Conte's record with clubs in serie A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevelourfog Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Should ... Should we want someone anyone wants to swap, even in part, for a 31 year old Lukaku?! This one just sounds too mental to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was worried we were going to throw another manager under the bus by going into the season without a centre forward. Still sounds too good to be true.

Morgs Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I think the club would probably do business at Lukaku + 70m as we will likely get in the region of 70m for Gallagher and Chalobah. But would we be able to pay his wages? And is it all a giant waste of time unless we buy a decent keeper? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could pay his wages with Lukaku's wages off the books but might cause an issue in the dressing room. Maybe a very generous and achievable incentive scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin1905 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 If its achievable at 70m plus Lukaku I think the club will make it happen. There will need to be a bit of wiggle room on by both sides, in terms of his wages but I don't see why that couldn't be worked out. Those that think him coming in on high wages could effect the dressing room I'm not sure why it would, clubs have always made big money signings who generally become the highest paid players. Its nothing new. If the rumours are true, about the fee, I can't see it not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the option is €70m for a bang average La Liga striker or Osimhen for €70m + fatty then it’s an easy choice. That we are even entertaining the idea of Omorodion speaks volumes. He’s a nothing player, a parenthesis. He has no business playing for a club that wants to be a top club in the Prem. but then again we are paying Guiu £100k/week and he’s as untested as they come. So anything is possible with dumb & dumber in charge. Beier? At least he has one good season in Germany. But for me, if we are buying a striker (which we damn should) it’s Osimhen by a country mile. Is he a sure thing? No. But he’s the best option there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1905 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) 1 hour ago, paulw66 said: I think that is 70m euro too, not GBP Absolute no brainer if we can make it happen and that's coming from someone that doesn't particularly rate Osimhen. Mate of mine was just saying that Lukaku costs us something silly like £35m+ a year and we could almost half it with Osimhen if he agreed to around £200k per week. Could also have the added benefit of allowing Jackson to play from the left where I think he will end up and become an elite player in that position He has all the attributes for it and unless Mudryk suddenly becomes a different player we only realistically have Sterling to play there so makes even more sense. If Nkunku plays as the 8/10, which I suspect he will a front line of Palmer-Osimhen-Jackson with Nkunku supporting is so full of goals it's a joke.

If we get Osimhen over the line we can take a transfer ban as punishment for the PDR breach. We won't need to sign anyone new for the next 12 years anyway so no biggie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
