Brace and an assist against the best defence in the league today, arguably the most in form striker in Europe this season and he's improving by the week.

Got so much to his game now

He's got to be one the 5 best headers of the ball in Europe

United hasn’t ever really had an African starter. Correct me if I’m wrong. Can’t think of one! Would love to sign him for that reason.

Had a Google and the we’ve had a few fringe players. Fortune, Djembax2, Bailly, Ighalo, Amad. Maybe Amad will make it.

here's hoping Murtough is a big fan of Pizza and the godfather.

How dare you forget Diouf and Manucho.

From r/juve. It's true by the way. Osimhen bullies defenders instead of the other way around.

He is just astonishing. You just throw a ball forward and he'll get it, no matter where he is and where his defender is

This is the guy. There are other quality strikers out there I'm sure, but I'll be disappointed if he isn't top of our list.

We got no money guys. We have to qualify for the CL and SELL WELL to have a chance of having any money.

Love his pressing. But would still prefer Harry Class A..

Top quality is top quality. As Casemiro has proven.

I can't remember the two games in the past year I saw him, but there was a few moments of acceleration I haven't seen from a player in a while which was baffling.

I'm pretty sure one was in the CL stages where he was lightning. Apart from that, he looks a frightening prospect, and a new owner would be wise to make him #1 target in the summer.

Haaland.

I’ve changed my mind on him. His work rate from the front and the way he presses just causes nightmares. Him and Rashford running in behind would terrify defenders.

Ighalo man.

"It is very true that Manchester United wanted Victor, but he told me something like he had too much respect for Odion Ighalo to be competing for shirts with his senior colleague," Andrew Osimhen said.

Andrew added: "My brother holds Ighalo in high esteem and he just didn't see himself going to Old Trafford to battle for a striking role with the highest goalscorer at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt."

Gary Bailey was a definite starter and Aftican

yet probably the best available right now.

fast as feck, presses hard and scores goals. what’s not to like?!
Don't forget being an immense aerial threat.

He tick a lot of the boxes in terms of what ETH has traditionally wanted in his centre-forwards.

Overrated and overpriced
Have you genuinely watched him to come to this conclusion? Obviously he's overpriced because every other footballer on the planet is so lets leave that aside for now but genuinely don't know how people that watch him think he's over-rated. He doesn't have the touch of Ronaldinho for sure but he's just an absolute beast. He's lightning quick but he's such a fighter too. Absolutely batters defenders and always seems to come out with the ball in duels. Has the third most shots per game in the top five leagues and has a better non-penalty scoring rate than Harry Kane while being much younger. Would absolutely love him at the club as I think he's exactly what we need.
