Lamasta:Boosted us yes, but wouldn't have done any magic for us to be contesting the league et al. He wouldn't have done what more than the current players are doing. We're not lacking goals, we lack defenders or defending structure. Only City and Arsenal has scored more goals than us. If we had been a bit tighter at the back, we would have been where City and Arsenal are. Think of it: Mbeumo 9 goals, Sesko 7, Cunha and Fernandes 6 each and Casemiro 5. Don't you think the goals is been shared which is good comparing to looking for one stand out player to score. Like I said, we didn't miss Osimhen, our defense is the one doing us |

Kalulu44:Arsenal didn't really need him Chelsea new owner prefer to buy young n promising players |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by femi4: 6:14pm On Feb 27 |
12345baba:No You are the one that missed my point Chelsea new policy is about going for young n promising players not established ones |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by Kalulu44: 6:15pm On Feb 27 |
Ojagun:Nah! I disagree with you. Osimhen till now in his mind still wanted that England move. Believe it or not, his confrontation with 1 his Napoli coach, 2 with Ikpeba and 3 with Finidi damaged things. If Arteta, Maresca, Amorim and co doesn't understand pidgin English or Yoruba, you think they don't have people to interpret it to them. If a player can lambast his coach openly on social media, then that's a red flag and can cause dressing room unrest. Do you know after the Juventus match, he lambasted his teammates openly for not doing enough. Can he do that at Arsenal, Chelsea or Man United and not be shut out from the team. Even now, nobody knows how his Gala teammates will take it. Ifeanyi Udeze former super eagles player said it on Brila FM that it's uncalled for. If you want to berate your teammates, do that in dressing room or one or one privately. Not openly, this and many more are what those big clubs are looking at |

Lamasta:Lolz, leave am o. All of us dey concern |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by Kalulu44: 6:21pm On Feb 27 |
femi4:Hahahaha, and you now believe Man United too really wanted him. Chelsea that even negotiated wages with him is the one that doesn't need him, I hear you. Since none of the three clubs sign him, it means none of them needed him, don't single out any. |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by Kalulu44: 6:23pm On Feb 27 |
femi4:So Fulham and those teams you mentioned are now comparable to Man United. Why didn't Arsenal and Chelsea sign him, weren't they looking for him? And with no single afcon players in both team. |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by Kalulu44: 6:24pm On Feb 27 |
femi4:How many matches and minutes has both of them play. Lets start from there |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by femi4: 6:25pm On Feb 27 |
Kalulu44:Yes, man U has been going for mature players in the last 3 seasons Chelsea was negotiating a salary cut which is against the policy of buy young n cheap n sell at a more valuable price |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by femi4: 6:28pm On Feb 27 |
Kalulu44:They started the season together but one was glued to bench because he was so good |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by femi4: 6:29pm On Feb 27 |
Kalulu44:The comparison base is afcon..but alas you couldn't decipher |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by donmik: 6:30pm On Feb 27 |
AFCON must always come against most of the European schedules cos Europe doesn't see us as lucrative in sports. Anyways, good that ManU no sign cos he might end up facing sorrow of losing matches and sacking catches as the norm. He is very happy at where they value him so |

femi4:ok policy my ass , Chelsea went over and over for him, Liverpool was interested all of them were that afcon played a huge part |

solbase10:Osimhen is bigger than Manchester United |

Kalulu44:People commenting knows the truth but keep shying away from it |

femi4:That aside, the argument started on the excuse McCarthy gave which not 100% true but partially true. If the Afcon weren't a concern Arsenal or Chelsea could have had him and why is there no more African players in those two teams seeing that they're the ones who started the evolution of African players to the epl. Don't you think they too are now prioritizing that Afcon. |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by Kalulu44: 7:16pm On Feb 27 |
femi4:Hahahaha, who's that "so good" that he was just good for the bench |
