One can dream, but we can afford him, he knows the atmosphere already...But this would only work if he is after a new challenge. Who would not want to work with Osimhen? He is one of the top 3 forward/strikers in the world in my opinion.
But I know, it is a tough one.
I think Top 3 is a bit of stretch... top player for sure... but Top 3 players in any position won't ply their trade in Turkey for long mate. They'll end up in Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, or Bundesliga. Market forces.

They’re like that forever. Under-achieving and not having a clue what to do about it. My bro is an Arsenal fan and he loves to joke about spurs last title tilt versus Leicester in 2016, that they came third in a two horse race. Behind Arsenal. When they had Jose they reached a final and these serial losers sacked the serial winner before the final.

They’re absolutely impossible to fathom..
that's not the worst thing that was done. That was when Poch was at his peak as manager. For 3 windows Levy stopped all transfers. We went from having a squad stronger than Liverpool's to collapsing. Every player that left was replaced with someone inferior. We never recovered from the departures of Eriksen and Dembele. That midfield dominated. It truly was a sliding doors moment. If Levy had been aggressive at that time (3 year span where if you looked at cumulative points we had more than any other club including City!), we could have won titles. It's almost comical to point it out now, but that's Levy.

Also when Bale was at his pomp with Redknapp as manager, we needed a few players in the January window. What did Levy do? Get some trash players in... we were close around Xmas to challenging for the title. It's almost as if Levy was afraid of us winning something. Don't ask me why? I don't have a clue!

I wonder where Pep will end up. I wish he came to Galatasaray. That means we have to fire a coach who won 4 league titles in a row but no one is happy with Okan Buruk. He won't do any better in Europe than this year and fans want more.
Happy for Arsenal fans . It's been a minute or two.
well he's been to the Bundesliga, EPL and obviously La Liga. The missing major league is Italy. Perhaps Juventus or AC Milan. Probably AC Milan as that's less of a mess than Juve. Always one of the top clubs.

The enigma that is Tottenham Hotspur. The dumb club touched by geniuses. From Hoddle to Bale to Kane.

He probably will. They are all knocking on the door. When I look at what he does and how he does it, I cannot find more than a couple of players I would put above him honestly. That's why I was shocked when he signed with us, albeit for tons of money . But I know he won't last. He is too good.
