He simply has to take a wage cut. No team in Europe will pay him 360k a week

Cavani seems on his way to Atletico Madrid... Close relationship btw the striker and Diego Simeone. Honestly, it’s a perfect match. #Cavani #atleti

[Pizy 18,440]

So who is even left as a possibility? Dembele himself says he's staying. Cavani looks off to Madrid. Doesn't look like there's anything left out there that could slot right in and help us.

I haven't got a clue what we are going to do. Even if Tammy isn't injured we are fucked, he looks tired and finishing is so poor.

Edinson Cavani set to choose Atlético over Chelsea if deal with PSG is struck

• Uruguayan’s father says striker’s preferred destination is Spain
• PSG are treating him unfairly, says Luis Cavani

This is either BS or our board is that tense. Cavani's a free agent in June. Why would PSG accept a loan? lmao

In terms of older strikers for a stopgap (most may not even be doable this late in the game, there are only 9 days left in the window) some (most) are simply meh

Edin Dzeko  Roma

Artem Dzyuba Zenit

Dries Mertens  Napoli

 

Bas Dost Eintracht Frankfurt 

Marko Arnautovic  (China)

Kévin Gameiro  Valencia

Anthony Modeste Köln

Luuk de Jong  Sevilla

 

for longer term buys here is a fairly comprehensive breakdown

Mertens

This is who we should go for. Mertens and Telles could be done now and improve us to get us though to end of the season.

Chelsea’s proposed deal is to pay an loan fee and cover the forward’s wages, in excess of £360,000 a week, until his contract expires at the end of June. Cavani’s wages alone would total £7.2 million and Chelsea would be expected to pay a fee of at least £5 million

 

LOLOLOL

that would mean we will have paid almost 30 MILLION QUID for two 6 months long loans for 30-something strikers

and have zero to show for it when it ends (Higs is the other)

 

goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo board!!!!

and banged out a pickney

 

then 30 or 40 years from now

if you wanted to bankrupt a multinational firm

just appoint their spawn as the CEO

the genetics dictate the firm would be in administration within 2 years

After watching the Arsenal game, our biggest need might be a goal keeper.

If only Lampard or Cech could tell them...

Oh that's right, they are new to this.

Anyway, let's hope we get something done this window.

IF (I am not convinced we will not make a couple moves still) actually do almost NOTHING this window

after fighting like HELL to get it and CLEARLY doable good deals out there

and we end up losing out on top 4 (given the pure shit of our competitors)

I never want to hear the board defended ever again

they likely will have (if we miss out on CL again and if we fail to finally clear rapidly value-haemorrhaging dregs yet again) basically set us upon a ruinous path for years, barring some SERIOUS luck

and that m8, is a TRUE fiduciary nightmare

went into depth on it in the Kepa thread

bottom line

IF we somehow (it will never happen for so many reasons)

prised Oblak away from AM

that will mean (in a BEST CASE scenario)

that 7 years of first string GK (Kepa 2, Oblak 5) will overall cost us on an amortised basis

£250m minimum overall costs

and likely more

all is documented over in the thread
