Lukaku, Aubameyang still on the books, Havertz there and Nkunku to come in but let’s spend another £120m+ on another striker. Yeah, sounds like Todd Boehly.Tweet

There are quotation marks around that 70m figure.Didn’t Napoli spend £70m on him? No way they let him go for £100m. I’d imagine a figure closer to £150m will be closer to the truth
The deal has long been a cause of controversy, as the official €70m transfer plus €10m in bonuses fee was only circa €50m in cash, the other €20m made up of goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis and three youth team players Luigi Liguori, Claudio Manzi and Ciro Palmieri.
The value of the youth team players immediately raised eyebrows, because they were given vastly inflated prices on the transfer market.
This caused even more controversy when the three players never actually wore the Lille jersey, as they were immediately loaned out to Serie C sides and their contracts were simply terminated a year later free of charge.
The players went to the media complaining the deal had ruined their careers and they were used as pawns in a larger transaction used to bolster the finances of both Napoli and Lille.
They wanted 200mil for koulibaly at his best tbh & said osihmen was not for saleThere are quotation marks around that 70m figure.
They spent £66m on him so £100m when his contract expires in 2 years isn't very unlikely. I imagine a bit more and they'll let him go. They can buy some 2-3 really good players with that, especially with their transfer strategy.Didn’t Napoli spend £70m on him? No way they let him go for £100m.

Didn’t know that. Wouldn't be surprised at all if in the coming months more comes out of this as the Italians keep investigating.There are quotation marks around that 70m figure.
Can see us having to go down to third or fourth options on the list. Doesn't sound like Kane or Osimhen will leave to meOsimhen, Kane, Vlahovic or move Rashford to striker. There are plenty choices.
I thought that too but then with Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho and Antony already as wide options and a need for a diverse fluid striker I think it’d be more likely they’d be used up top along with a new striker and Martial being moved on due to never being fit for more than a week.I think they'd hypothetically take Antony's place as first choice right forward, with Antony as rotation/bench option, meaning there'd still be plenty of room for a top CF.
When has a selling club ever admitted they're going to sell?Every source that is somewhat reliable on my twitter feed says they are not going to sell him this summer.
That kit is just awful! Almost like a parodyTweet

Most in form forward in Europe right now along with our star no.10
I’ve heard the CAF experts who wanted Cody Gakpo and thought €100m on Antony was worth it are the ones saying €150m Osimhen will be a success in the PL. Don’t ask me to provide any evidence of this though as I just made it up.The CAF experts that wanted Nunez and Scamacca over the summer are the ones that are saying that Osimhen isn't good enough technically for United.
Take him or Kane as different sorts of strikershe will be so deadly on the end of our midfields passing. We have to get it done.
That would most likely cost around 250m totalBring him and Kvara as a pair.
Shades of Rashford...How the feck has he scored from there? That's even more improbable than the Rashford one last night.
