Sheva.

If i didn't know anything about him and i watched him only for Brazil, i would think he's easily top 5 CB's in the world. He's good for us, but for Brazil he's a different beast - helps that he has an awesome partner i guess.

Mate, Chelsea, Man City and Real Madrid can afford 63m. But the problem is FFP and the fact it isn't exactly wise to pay all of that on 1 player, when most likely there's other positions to fill. Napoli asking for it all in 1 payment doesn't make things any better. Also in Madrid's case, Perez said they can pay any amount for a player, as long as he's able to make that money in shirt sales etc - but can Cavani do that? certainly not on the level of other top players. Anyway i can understand ADL's approach, it's the same Spurs will do for Madrid in regards to Bale, because no team wants to lose their star player easily.

Masterclass.

He has pace, he needs to learn to use it more effectively in Spain. No need to cut inside every damn time, when you can also beat the defender to the by-line and cut it back for a team-mate etc.

Lmao that video, the game against Bolivia? why would they allow themselves to be consistently raped from long balls like that? smh.

Is this Italy or Nigeria??

Italy bossin' this, only a matter of time before Spain score then..

This is pretty much Juventus vs Barcelona.

It is not uncommon for other teams to get a certain amount when a player is sold. But it will be from the 63m ADL is asking for, not 7m extra.

Loool wow, he flew because of a simple hand to the face

Managers don't sign players at Porto, so not sure how he built the team. The fact they lost Hulk and Falcao and still managed to win the league says a lot about their scouting system - buy ridiculously cheap, sell ridiculously high lol.

Sigh. I'm sick of reading about how every other striker not named Cavani or Lewandowski is "not good enough" for Chelsea. It would be very nice if one of those players join, but if it's not possible the club has to look at other options. And there are quite a few good strikers out there - it's not just about the name and how much they cost, it's all about production and if they can improve the team. Man utd signed Chicarito from nowhere and he's easily one of the best strikers in the premier league. Bayern won the treble with Mandzukic and his sexy tap-ins etc etc.

Nigeria had many injuries leading into the tournament. Onazi from Lazio is a starter and was very good at the ACN, but got injured less than a week before the game against Tahiti. Moses and Emenike are also starters but were also injured, so less experienced players were thrown in instead, which probably explains some of their weird play in the final third.

That was nice.

Get this guy and play him next to a proper DM.

Soldado is better than Bony and definitely Jovetic. I like Bony, but you can't compare what he's doing in the Dutch league to Soldado in la liga. Obviously he's behind Cavani and Lewy, but do we look like getting either of them?

What thing exactly? what matters the most is goals, and he gets plenty of them. It's ridiculous to say he can't be our no 1 striker, when apart from Cavani there's not many strikers available that are better than him.

Another new deal? will they also give him another pay raise? what a joke.

Fuck, i thought we were actually linked lol. I would be happy with him or Gomez atm.

Buffon go home, you're drunk.

Buffon trying to move to the other side early... got trolled lol.

During the season people here said it's more likely for Falcao to flop than him, and i replied along the lines of - any player can flop etc etc. Cavani has shown for Uruguay he's not a 54m player (not just in the confederations cup), he lacks confidence, and misses chances a player of his calibre should be putting away. Now this is very very different from how he is at Napoli. So maybe it is the Serie A, or Napoli's system that suit him so well. Because he doesn't even play solely on the wings anymore, and still doesn't perform. I would love it if he came here and scored every week, but i just cringe at the thought of yet another big money striker failing here, it would simply be fucking disgusting. Hopefully Jose knows who's right for the team, and we actually have some luck signing a player in that position again.

His CB partner was not bad also, i can't remember Suarez getting the better of either of them like he normally does to PL defenders. Their problem is the fullbacks, the LB is pretty average and Ambrose is just slightly better than Bosingwa.

This is ADL we're talking about, he never keeps anything down. If Chelsea were interested, or had made bids, he would be the first to announce it.
