According to Luckhurst, they made their choice before Martial's latest setback.

Luckhurst said the same about Martial last summer and probably the summer before. One day he might be right. Like a broken clock.
Thats fair enough.
Don't jinx it by mentioning Lingard and Pogba though. Both left on free after squeezing every penny out of their contract with us while contribute little to none in their final season...
So I'm just curious since I don't have a twitter account and just saw some crap pages reporting it on Facebook, but have you seen any concrete reports to the rumours of 'he who cannot be mentioned on the caf' being sold in the summer @mazhar13 ?
His next deal with us or whoever is going to be heavily based an appearances you would think.

According to this, we're ruling out Sesko as he's not yet ready for the step up, whilst Tammy Abraham if one of our fallback options. I don't know about you, but whilst I like what Abraham offers, if we are going for all of the top honours, then we can do a bit better than him. Still, I'd much rather have Abraham than someone like Weghorst.
Osimhen the clear choice for me
Tammy would be a decent back up option but we need an elite striker we can have for at least 5 years.
That's the way I see it as well. Then again, if Nketiah can step up, then so can Abraham.
Also agree about Tammy Abraham. His contract is until 2026 so can’t imagine he’d be that cheap either. Surprised there was no mention of Gonçalo Ramos in Ducker’s article.
Cross my fingers we go for Osimhen
I'm not sure Ramos fits the profile of forward Ten Hag wants. Abraham would be okay, an improvement on current options, but unlikely to fire us to major trophies.
Didn't Napoli pay 75 mln pounds for Osimhen? I'd imagine he'd cost more than Kane, but would be the more exciting and long-term option as well.
According to Gianluca di Marzio, Napoli paid €70m + €10m in bonuses. In relation to this transfer, Napoli also sold 4 of their players for a total of €20m (no bonuses). Therefore, Napoli only paid €50m in cash guaranteed + gave away 4 players. This deal came under scrutiny by the Italian authorities due to those 4 Lille-bound players potentially being overvalued.
Personally, Osimhen has more long-term potential, but Kane's a better all-around package for now. Osimhen can't create chances like Kane can for other forwards.
Yeah, I think Osimhen would be crazy money and is very unlikely to happen this summer. Abraham could work in the short-term.
Would be over the moon with either,like Kane because could help us win things whilst Casa,Varane & Bruno in prime
On the other hand intrigued to see what Erik's top class coaching could get out of Osimhen given the opportunity
Osimhen hasn’t had the best injury record so far so that is some concern.
Kane has never relied on outright pace and given what Benzema and Lewandowski have been able to do long into their 30’s it does make you wonder if 5-6 years of Kane might be the better choice overall.

If we are looking at the short term (why would ETH or any manager want to wait unnecessarily long to win some trophies? ), Kane would be perfect. It will give us more time to build the squad while making us a stronger team immediately. But the biggest issue here is that we don't know if we'll have enough money this summer to afford him or whoever the top strikers are that we're after.
Hasn't Osimhen's only injury problems so far been a COVID illness and that broken cheekbone but could be totally wrong on that
Osimhen for me.
Not been following Serie A. Has Abraham suddenly picked up form? He was shite up to Xmas wasn’t he? Isn’t he just a bit shite in general? Would be a good replacement for Weghorst, but surely not a regular starter for United…
3 goals 2 assista since the restart so no not really.

You take as long as you like, pal.
Exactly what we need. Another winger. Fati should only be an option if Garnacho doesn't extend, which is looking unlikely.
Developments.
He used Garnacho’s integration as an example.
But we know he meant Qatar buying us and a new budget of £700m.

Massive talent. Him and Romeo Lavia will be the future Belgian 6 and 8.
Is he a #6?
