Victor Osimhen

[DodgyLasagne]

This guy's athletic gifts are actually a joke. He is the type of player I have zero doubts about succeeding in the Premier League.

He has pace, power, insane jumping ability, coordination, finishing, dribbling. In short he's got the lot.

As a target man and handful for CBs not sure if there's a better prospect in Europe.

like, look at this

He is way too expensive for us and imo will end up going somewhere he can start (which would be difficult here) for a massive fee. He is an amazing prospect but I think this is totally unrealistic and won't happen.

In the last couple of years, since Jota joined, Liverpool have rotated that front three quite regularly. Salah and Mane still had significant game time but rested on a few occasions.

Our issue is Kane has to play centrally, whether that is as a 9, with a partner or dropping deeper into a 10 role.

But there is certainly scope for us to rest Kane and Son and rotate.

One of the best things about him is that even though he seems like a target man, he is incredibly mobile.

Kane often had struggles with Llorente and Janssen because they were two players who were quite static and Kane needs runners off him. Osimhen does that very well too so it has a much better chance of working.

Has he fully recovered from that horrendous facial injury?

I'd much prefer Osimhen to Lautaro for that exact reason. he would occupy the CBs and do all the dirty work that an aging, overworked Kane doesn't necessarily want to do every week.

If we do somehow buy him (again, don't see how) then that looks like an awesome partnership.

We could go 3-5-2 with Kane, Osimhen as the front 2 with Kulu in behind.

Or some variation of a 3-4-1-2 with Kane withdrawn behind Son and Osimhen, or of course Osimhen in the Kane role in a front 3.

Weren't we very close to signing him when he was 15 or something ?

Has there even been a link besides our guess at the cryptic?

Yes but he'll probably wear the mask for an extended period.

If anyone is interested in the details behind his facial injury

Watching the video, almost all of his goals were via cutbacks or crosses. Which is exactly what Conte is wanting our wing backs to do.

That looks like it was a really nasty injury. Do we know he’s fully recovered and come back as the same player he was before hand?

 

[GobbyJJ]

Maybe with news of Bremer & Bastoni wanting Italy means our options may be changed. If this getting the likes of Ndicka & Koulibaly maybe possible. This could result in heavily investing elsewhere, ie Osminhan.

 

[ToDarrenIsToDo]

If we have 150m plus anything made in sales to make then surely a big lump of 70m-90m is a viable option for us going into the market.

Perisic free
Forster free
Eriksen free
Bissouma 25m

You're then realistically looking at a RB, CB, FWD, all of which could he signed well within the 125m left without the add ons of sales out.

Hakimi, Bremer, Ndicka, Eriksen, Osimhen and then just sell all our genuinely long term surplus players like Royal, Regulion, Tanganga, Sanchez, Winks, Bergwijn, Lo Celso, hopefully Ndombele and we'd have such a heavyweight team

Crime of false accounting for the purchase of Osimhen and three other players: Aurelio De Laurentiis was entered in the register of suspects by the Naples Public Prosecutor. The same offense is also challenged at the top of the Napoli Calcio Club. The Guardia di Finanza and the Public Prosecutor's Office carried out searches in Naples at the Castel Volturno and Rome offices and are investigating the sale that involved the Nigerian striker, who moved from Lille to Naples in 2020, and three other players, returned to the Osimhen operation with various formulas (they are Orestis Karnezis, Claudio Manzi, Luigi Liguori and Ciro Palmieri, whose evaluations have previously also ended up under the attention of the federal prosecutor). Other searches were carried out in France by the French police on the orders of the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office.

n the press release issued by the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office it is stated that the objective is to acquire documentation and other useful elements in relation to hypothesized illegal conduct connected to the sale and purchase of the rights to the sports performances of some players, which took place in the summer of 2020, between SSC Napoli Spa and the French club Losc Lille. The case concerning the transfer of the professional footballer Victor Osimhen, already the subject of a request for a European investigation order by the Public Prosecutor's Office JIRS (Juridiction Interrégionale Spécialisée - Specialized Interregional Jurisdiction) of the judicial court of Lille, led to the initiation of proceedings criminal also at this Prosecutor's Office."The investigations of the Economic-Financial Police Unit of Naples are aimed at executing the measures requested by the French investigating authority and those issued by the Naples Public Prosecutor" , concludes the note from the Public Prosecutor.

Di Laurentis committed some fraud in the Osimhen deal from Lille lol

As I keep saying, Italian clubs are literal jokes at best and most blur the lines between criminal and legal.
