Bloody hell, when you think of how bleak it looked for Man City at numerous points that season.
Bayern away
Arsenal away (yeah, we actually beat them!)
They were imperious at times but what a bottle job by United. Gotta go down as the worst (or best, however you look at it) bottle job of the PL era. 8 points ahead with 5 games to play. Jeez.
Who wouldnāt want a potential Cavani regen especially in this dry striker market
I remember West Ham tried to get it over the line but couldnāt seal the deal, he has a good profile phsyically and movement seems to be very good. Thereās no sure thing for us out there but hopefully we donāt swing and miss as any of these guys are going to cost us big money because the whole world knows weāre desperate
Yeh Iām very interested in this signing, absolutely adored Cavani back in the day and he even achieves half of what he did then weāll have done well.
I just watched a video of all Cavaniās Napoli goals. What a player. Its really too bad that he spent his prime at PSG, playing in that league and also getting shunted around to accommodate others like Zlatan.
Iām not sure Nunez is quite at that level, either in terms of pace or technique, but he wouldnāt have to be to improve us massively.
Osimhen would be fantastic and exactly what we need, but very unrealistic given he signed with Napoli a year or two ago? Would take huge sums to make them part with him (plus our history of dunking on them and their transfer dealings). I imagine even if there was an inkling that Napoli would accept offers, bigger sharks would come circling for him anyway.
So that leaves us apple bobbing in the proverbial barrell category of young, exciting, Twitter-nerd-frothing hype boys with relatively raw components and big price tags.
All the strikers we have been linked with/are out there with a Brazil Scout compilation, are not necessarily āprovenā at this point. And the striker āmarketā is a funny one to buy in because they generally donāt hang around for long when that PR hype is generated. Someone almost always jumps in and picks them up, hoping theyāve got a gem before any of the big clubs claim their prize.
We obviously wonāt get Haaland and I donāt think Arteta will go for an older striker like Lewandowski so Osimhen or Nunez look more likely.
Although Osimhen would be a great signing, he is going to be about 100m but If he wants a player from the PL then DCL could still happen.
Really? Our midfield is functioning really fucking well, our goal scoring however, itās going to be the real difference maker for us in these final few games. Weāre genuinely fucked if our wide players stop scoring.
