Victor Osimhen

[Birdy]

He's gonna whine and have his outbursts, but man do I want him at Barca.

Quick, very strong, good in the air, decent enough technically and presses like a madman.

Thuram is much better suited to us, and IMO better player overall

Osimen is flashy thanks to his physique and speed.
But the truth he is very limited technically.
If he comes here, he will run riot in transitions, but will find himself not knowing what to do against buses

Thuram, on the other hand, is not as flashy, but:
he is not as good as Osimen, but close, in transitions,
and infinitely better in small spaces and technically.

The CF of Barca should be able to play in small congested areas and find solutions there.
That's what has always been with the ones succeeding here and marking an era (Romario, Eto, Suarez... Even Kluivert who is not on the same page)

PS: Rumors today from Sport we want Thuram in the summer.
Hope it is true, but most likely Laporta media campaign

The CF of Barca also need to be able to score a lot of goals and play as a lone striker.

Thuram has played in a two-striker system or more out wide(early at Gladbach) for pretty much his entire career.

He is perfectly capable of playing as a lone striker: he can hold up the ball, play with back to goal, combine link up, and of course score

Besides, the concept of the 'lone striker' does not really apply to Flickball. Our CF is always surrounded with other players

Inter has best striker depth in the world

Lautaro, Thuram, Esposito, Bonny

All 4 are class

So maybe they would be willing to lower the price for one of them. Don't think Bonny is our level yet but would take other 3 in a heartbeat
