lol now you guys sound like city fans, that 'oh well his loss' kinda attitude. We missed out on a real special player.

He would be the perfect balance for the squad in terms of his age, desire and his high level of football.

Seems like he could be a rotation option with Ramires.

Would be sad to see him leave... I really rate him still.

Steve Clarke and his boys always get a good reception. Bet he is looking forward to seeing Jose again

Aint seen him play but if the club thinks he is good enough then fine by me.

People actually care about the price difference? Cavani is the better striker at the moment end of, stop pretending like you guys care about the clubs finances when money has been no problem for the past 10 years. It sounds like a plastic thing to say but it's the truth.

Cavani over this lump any day, even if the price is double.

As long as he can keep most of his shots down then I won't be too worried.

Zaha cost 15mill so seems about right price for this type of player. Doubt he would play much though.

You can tell football season is over when we are talking about a player's shyness

When do you ever hear players complain nationally? While true he deserves the place over someone else.

Errr no, I'm sure Mata would love to play for his country, and deserves the spot over Silva. It's what he wants not us.

Why the fuck is Silva playing over him

It's a number who cares, give him 69 for all I care.

lol good finish considering he just nicked it under pressure.

Welcome mate, wasn't expecting his English to be that good sounds a little like Cahill.

So nice of Athletico to train up our next top keeper

To be honest everyone thinks the the 'Mourinho Factor' will suddenly transform this guy. I don't think Torres has the right attitude or personality to play under Jose; trust me, we will just see the same old Torres next season.

I would laugh if that was to happen, bet they are all jizzing their pants over there over this signing.

So is he more of an all round midfielder?

About 30million a year from the deal then, excellent.

I guess your right but it comes down to risk/reward, we have witnessed a 50million flop already and doing so again is another huge risk but it could go well for us. If we did sign Cavani, I'm sure Lukaku would get as many chances (I know you're worried about him not playing if this deal goes through), because technically we could play all our strikers on the pitch Ba on the left, Lukaku up front and Cavani on the right (theoretically). Cavani is quite versatile and is used to playing off other players, behind the main man and out wide. This is why Lukaku would probs get at least 25/30 games to see how he gets on in a blue shirt.

'What if' arguments in football... What if Cavani scores 100 in a season and marries Eva

Mikel's way of saying 'stfu' to members of talkchelsea for slating him 24/7.
