Rmpr 8,977 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Great, now he can give us Cavani in exchange for Torres + Cash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Don't think Napoli is the right club for him.Would have been interesting to see Rafa at PSG.At face value, PSG would have been the better option. Looking at it more closely though, he will have about £50-60 million to re-invest in the squad with the sale of Cavani and as we know, Rafa can be quite astute at buying players for not too much, so £50-60 million should be enough money for him to build a good team that could challenge for the title. He may also want Torres (hopefully) as one of the Strikers to replace Cavani as Torres seems to be playing decently under him.You may say they won't challenge, however there isn't much competition in Serie A. It's a weak-ish league at the moment. Also, even though he won't play 3 at the back Napoli play in a way that is similar to what Rafa wants, a hard working counter attacking team. Everything is there for Rafa really. Lower expectations as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggman 118 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Good luck to Rafa.He came in under difficult circumstances and secured third place and won a european trophy. Job well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Good match for him. He wanted a UCL club and he certainly has unfinished business in Serie A. Good luck to him and Napoli next season. I don't think any nutter would sell Cavani for Torres unless we gave them Torres + £30m for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is there for Rafa really. Lower expectations as well.Rafa spent like 300 million at Liverpool and I'm sure only Alonso, Reina, Torres and Mascherano should be considered stand out buys and they cost about 70 million between them. Rafa will probably sell Cavani and replace him with Heskey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
