If the late Ormstein rumour is true what a wonderful bit of business our new owners wi have negotiated.
Selling Lukaku with a season loan and an option to buy for Osimhen. Sounds good to me!

Ornstein died?

The loan deal has been denied by his agent.
Osimhen for me has too many red flags fans are ignoring; big money signings from Serie A usually flop in the PL because of the quality of the league. Most of our deadwood’s are thriving in that league, and even a 37yr old Giroud scored as many league goals as Osimhen last season. Victor is injury prone and misses an average of 10 league goals every season. If he flops we are screwed cos we are talking of £250k/ w on a 7yr contract no other team will take on.

The red flags are not problems the fans need to care about nor are they financial packages involved, Sign him up he's a far more elite striker than wev seen at the club recently the last time we had a good striker was 2017.

I beg to differ Poch,
If it did not work out then our finances are screwed paying a huge transfer fee and then very high wages.
Look how difficult it is for Napoli to get rid.

Also look how hard it’s been to get rid of Lukaku too. He’s played well on several loans but no clubs been able to afford his transfer fee and wages, in fact he had to sign a lower wage contract to go out on loan last season.
I’m not against signing Osimhen but we should definitely be wary of paying £100m+ and £350-400k/ week wages to a player on the back of a poor season.

Personally, I think the publishing of this latest Osimhen news is just to appease fans that are wavering over the pre-season performances.
If I were a gambling man, Gallagher + cash for Omorodion from Atletico would be what I staked my money on.

RBD, maybe but I would be surprised because if it doesn’t happen there would be deflated effect, for some anyway! If that makes sense.

Bill, I doubt we would be screwed but it’s never good when the club pays a large transfer fee and it doesn’t work out. Like Lukaku or Morata.
