Some years ago I would have been concerned about some of our professional footballers. Not anymore. Whatever makes him happy. You never know, him fit just graduate to coach, then move up.

osimhen is the type of #9 that man united needs

He isn’t ready just yet. Lukaku that tore Seria A with goals flopped at United and Chelsea and he was harshly criticized. At a club like man utd, if you don’t start scoring immediately, they will finish you. I want to see Osimehn play a full season uninjured at Napoli and score 25 to 30 goals in all competitions for making that big move

Lukaku was the highest goal scorers at man utd so he didn't flop.

At Chelsea he was beginning to gain scoring form before the interview made him fall out with Tuchel so he also didn't flop at Chelsea.

He didn’t flop yet he was consistently abused by both man utd and Chelsea fans. My guy, he FLOPPED. this was the same player that tore Seria A last season. Man utd has such a wide range of fans that if their striker doesn’t perform immediately, they will ostracize that person. Make Osimehn enjoy small at Napoli, score 30 goals for them and the likes of Madrid, Bayern swill request for him. BTW, being the highest goal scorer for your club doesn’t exempt you from being labeled as. Flop

This is apt. Leaving Napoli now will do Victor no good, he should continue to develop without pressure at Serie A.

Might be loan with obligation to buy.

The proposal is united to pay 40m euros for osimhen on loan with obligation to buy then 60m will be paid to sign him outright after the loan with cr7 moving to Naples in exchange

It is rumoured napoli wants united to cover 75% of cr7’s wages which united is yet to accept n hv been bargaining that it should be reduced in order to accommodate osimhen’s wages which when summed up will be the same with what the Portuguese super star currently earns in England

Also osimhen’s wage demand is said to be 12m euros which the Manchester based side hv no problems with

Talks are still on going and with the look of things the deal may happen

Cr7’s agent Jorge Mendez hv been in Italy since 3 days ago

I'm surprised you just finding out sef. It was a free transfer. Refused a renewal at PSG and ran his contract out.

The lad has been tearing it up good in the Eredivisie. Already on 4goals and 2 assists in 3 league games. Was even discussing him, just yesterday, alongside other young talents with one of the developers of the stats tools we all reference.

Lad has indeed had a fine Start to the season.

Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen to Manchester Utd may have to wait till some other time.

No bids made yet. 2 days left in the summer transfer window. A deal of this magnitude needs time to sort out the details. Osimhen stays at Napoli, for now.

The Antony deal was always gonna stretch Man Utd's budget.

I did not catch the game but read that the opposition applied a high press strategy and clearly nullified the deep playing plan of Ponferradina.

This is actually good for Kelechi Nwakali's growth because it will spur the coach to train him and the team on how to play out of a high and tight press.

My simple solution based on the theories laid out is Kelechi Nwakali dropping deeper to the central defence area to form a 3-man central defence shape. Then use long balls to exploit the gaps in the opposition defence.

Also, the keeper needs to form a tighter passing unit, to deal out long balls and keeping possession.

This will serve as a good education for Kelechi Nwakali.

Eyes are on him this season especially as he is regarded as one of the golden boys back in the Netherlands and he is back home now with PSV, one of the country's biggest sides. So a lot is expected and so far, he has started well.

Let's see if he keeps it going for the rest of the season.
