I don't know, but I'd prefer Felix over Osimhem. I don't want Osimhen, for some reasons, I think he will fail in Premier League, and especially in our team, considering the other attacking options that we have, and also is super expensive.
Yeah if we don't sign Kane as looks likely now then there is still a chance we go for Osimhen in a year or two when price drops
If you were a top footballer, on say 100k a week, and the club you're already at, say, how about signing on for 200k a year, chances are you'll not take much convincing.
Trouble is I can see Chelsea agreeing to cave into Napoli's extortionate demands this window. They're more desperate for a striker then we are.
We already got rejected by Mbappe and Haaland, and who knows maybe also Kane. The attractiveness isn’t really that big of a factor. And Bayern aren’t really known to go overboard or outbid other clubs.

I wouldn't be if there were any decent alternatives but they are thin on the ground. He really would have been perfect.
true - I feel better already!At least Spurs will have Maguire money now
I doubt we would have been able to sign Kane considering the large amounts that Daniel Levy would ask for. Im trying to look at it like Madrid have done us a favour since we wont spend all summer trying to go for a player that most likely wont join due to the fee and instead we can move on very early in this window to go for more realistic targets.
That's one way of looking at itAt least Spurs will have Maguire money now
They’ll chuck him on the scrapheap the second they get wind of Mbappe or Haaland becoming available, or some other insane talent that hasn’t shown up as of yet.
He will still come back and get that bad boy in a few years time.
He can still break it in 2-3 years if he so chooses to come back to England. It's not like he's done with the Prem forever. He's still 29 and takes very good care of himself, we've always seen strikers in their mid 30's still putting up decent numbers in the league.
You expect him to bang 30+ goals every year until he’s 36/37?
I don't think so. He will be 33 and be 48 goals away. I think he can do 16 goals a season across 3. Or even 12 a season across 4.
They just lost Benzema and have to replace Kroos and Modric, those are massive losses but they're also a serious club about winning/competing so they'll never hesitate to splurge in the market when necessary to maintain their level of expectations.
Agreed, it’s the one regret I have about the Fergie years - we never strengthened when on top. After the treble and after 08, we only stagnated or got worse.
Well he'd be replacing Benzema, then it's only really Kroos and Modric as older first team players than Kane. Madrid have a core of younger midfielders in Tchouameni, Camavinga and Valverde to help phase them out, with Bellingham still to come. They won't have an aging problem with their team.
