Please, don't compare Chelsea, arsenal,Madrid and Barca situation to Man Utd own...Man Utd own is so bad that almost 80% of players who were once tagged as world class or promising became nonsense once they enter Old Trafford... It almost seem like it's witchcraft...Dem Agbero FC say na God of karma dey punish una for the crimes of Ferguson and Howard Webb cheesy
I never compared but stated that clubs makes such mistakes

Chelsea spent close to 100m on lukaku but it didn’t work out, Barca spent big on continho and grezman it didn’t work out, Madrid spent over 50m on the Serbian striker they just offloaded to fiorentina it didn’t work out so why won’t I mention them?

At the bolded, but there's nothing in the news that specified that Ten Haag wants him... What we are hearing is that Jorge Mendes want to use him as a pawn to get Ronaldo a champions league team...
If you have a report from a verifiable source stating that Ten Haag wants him, kindly share.. I'm a strong believer in the idea that players shouldn't join teams that the manager didn't have an interest in their signing.... It doesn't always end well..
My statement shows I am not sure Erik Ten Hag wants him. That is why I said IF ERIK TEN HAG TRULY WANTS HIM.

Jovic was never given a run of games. I believe he would have done well for Real Madrid.

Better offers from who?

Everyone screaming better offers, what clubs will fork out 100m for Victor next year? Is it PSG with Ekitike, Mbappe and co, or Liverpool with Darwin?

Only Bayern needs a big money striker, and Bayern is not known for spending 100m on one player.
Ekitike is on loan at PSG..he isn't a permanent signing..And Mbappe can be deployed on the flank to accommodate Osimhen...
Bayern don't spend much on one player, but the splashed up to 80m on a De Ligt a defender..They are using Mane as a centre forward this season...
What about Chelsea? I don't think Aubameyang will be enough...also, Benzema needs a successor at Madrid..

In short, PSG, Chelsea,Bayern and Madrid are the big clubs that can table an offer for Osimhen next season..Man Utd can join the queue..

There's also Newcastle if they can secure European football this season to show that they are on the path to be another Man City

Jovic did not get enough game time. Benzema literally played the whole season regularly. There was no room for the young striker to prove his worth.

Every Nigerian wants to play in the EPL.

Victor, with his status and price, would be going to a top 6 club in the EPL.

Man City has Haaland.
Liverpool has Darwin.
Spurs have Kane and Richarlison as his replacement.
Chelsea have Lukaku, and are wary of spending that much on a striker again after his failure. If they do, it would likely be to bring one of their own, Tammy, back.
Arsenal have signed Jesus to be the main man, and he is doing excellently well.

That really leaves only Man Utd as an EPL destination. In fact, the only clubs that can afford him, need him, and are actually elite in the world right now are Bayern and Man Utd. Every other either can't afford him, or has someone in his age group and on his level already.

Man Utd is a good destination for Victor. The timing of this move is just the hindrance really.
Yet not every Nigerian can play in the EPL. But for Victor, he has the player profile for the league and it is one of his biggest dreams. I know this personally from interaction.

And ofcoz, every other Big 6 EPL team is filled up with their own Number 9s EXCEPT Man Utd and to an extent Chelsea coz I don't know if Lukaku at Chelsea would still work out after his Inter Loan. They haven't yet solved their number 9 issue as things stand.

And yes, Man Utd is a good destination but it is not about the destination. It is more about the timing.

So your last statement sums it up. Timing. And Timing is EVERYTHING in Football.

Move now... a huge risk (Has already taken such risk when he moved to Napoli). Misses out again on UCL football and no guarantees that Man Utd will bag a UCL ticket based on their current situation. His first season too at Napoli despite his efforts in an injury-ravaged season, saw them still miss out on the UCL by whiskers. Guess who benefitted? Ronaldo!!!

Move next summer... same opportunity awaits and he would be coming off a superb season (using potential hindsight on how his 22/23 season will go and he has started the season like a house on fire already).

So yes, Timing. But it won't be about Timing just yet UNTIL Man Utd can just table the God-damn 120-140M euros Bid.

Until they do that... next summer it is. And the situation still favors Victor.

like I said deal is highly unlikely to happen

Even the proposal from Napoli isn’t realistic. They proposed that united should pay 70% of Ronaldo’s wages and hv to pay 120m euros before the offer will be considered to take cr7 on loan. Also that osimhen will be paid 220k euros weekly

a lot to learn in what aspect? A player who already hv made name for himself in ligue 1 and serie A, already recognized as one of the best 23 players in the world and close to the age of 23?

How old is haaland and vlahovic? How old is nunez that liverpool spent 100m on?

What else does osimhen need to do to be prepared enough for such move? I Dey wait for your answer
There are still flaws in the guy's game that'll come to bare if he joins Man Utd now. He also needs to learn how to stop being overly agressive else EPL defenders will always reel him up so he can retaliate and be sent off like Nunez was vs Palace. Haaland and Vlahovic are top talents that I think are better and more developed than Osihmen.

This is just my wish as a United fan though, nothing much. Let him play UCL with Napoli for this season.

Jorge Mendes has been hawking Ronaldo all over Europe this summer and it's becoming embarrassing... Nobody wants him...This is just proof of what age does to a player...

He has already achieved so much in the champions league that very few players can ever achieve...

I really don’t understand the ucl obsession with cr7. He has seen and done it all with individual,club and national team laurels to boast of in his illustrious career so far

Aside man United no top European club can offer him the wages he currently earns.

And with martial rules out for the games against southampton and leicester I doubt if the board will allow him move
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 6:08pm On Aug 26, 2022
Man Utd.. abeg finish with Antony matter first before una distract my boy with una humongous offers only found in stories for now due to Jorge Mendes' desperate attempts to find Ronaldo a UCL club.

90M for Antony dey hard una... so e go come be 120-140M for Osimhen una go gather sharp sharp before Sept 1?? I just dey smile for wia I dey.

Anyway, anything is possible in this Sport and Man Utd still remain among the very richest of the richest in the game so make we dey watch. grin

But the fact that we won't be having this convo AT ALL if Napoli had finished 5th last season makes this whole thing even more ridiculous.

RIGHT NOW It is not Man Utd wanting Osimhen. It is rather Man Utd and Jorge Mendes wanting to satisfy Ronaldo's wishes!!! Full stop!!!

I swear if I catch Mendes.... grin grin

Ronaldo is probably the most ambitious footballer the world has ever seen..He is the football version of Lebron James .. So obsessed with being ahead of others... He knows that if he stop playing UCL, Messi could break his goal record..He doesn't want that ..
Sometimes, being too ambitious can make a man desperate..And a desperate man can do anything...
Make una loan am to Sporting Lisbon...Pay his wage while he play his UCL in peace cheesy ..

From what I can get from Osimhen's camp. Osimhen's greatest fear is not performance-based, but is UCL football.

Osimhen is afraid that if he misses this chance to play in UCL, he might not get it any time soon with United.

This praise by Bruno shows how much impression Osimhen is making in Italy.

On Osimhen's greatest attribute, Giordano said : "The header. In this fundamental he is even stronger than Cristiano Ronaldo."

I read about this particular possibility from a few reports and it sounded very strong. Not sure about if Mendes will eventually go through with the Lisbon route but I am sure even Sporting will happily welcome him as long as Man Utd pay the bulk of the wages so as not to "financially cripple" the club that birthed him into first team football.

baba osimhen is a player I love and I deem worthy enough for that number 9 position but my disposition is not based on sentiment at all as a man united fan

If the tussle is between man united and Chelsea I would hv advised he move to Chelsea without mincing words

But to turn down man united to remain in Napoli just because of a season ucl campaign? I doubt he will be dumb to do that

Erik Ten Hag believes his possessive brand of games can lead to remarkable results. He believes in it. So if he wanted Osimhen (IF), I never said he wanted Osimhen. I was reacting to the rumor. If it was true, Osimhen would have benefitted from it.
