Edinson Cavani

[LondonPride1905 236]

Napoli want 50 m, by the last rumours I heard.

[Ollie 4,400]

He's the type of player who could replace Drogba because he scores all types of goals, great on the floor, unbelievable in the air. Fantastic player.

[Badboy 1,526]

I seriously think we should sell Torres to someone like PSG and get this guy in !

[manpe 10,861]

We shouldn't sign ANY player with a 50m tag anymore... it's time to learn from our mistakes.

[Krypt 241]

50m what about a stright swap for torres his worth 50 million :eyebrows:

[chrismada9 1,948]

If Chelsea have learned anything from the results given from Torres' overall form, we would NOT even think about offering them 50m... that is astronomical, and way too much! There are other strikers out there that match Cavani's ability and sell for much less than that! Just look how much Man City spent on Aguero! £35m and just look how many goals he's scored for them, compared to Torres, who joined us last January... it proves a preposterous point!

This is why we falter at transfers... the asking price! When someone slaps a price tag on the player that's just way too much, we pull out of a deal... then when City come knocking, they offer much less, and suddenly there are negotiations! I don't know if it's because of the fact that City have well-paid high quality executives, or the fact that the executives we have just don't give a fuck!

How can negotiators' "charm" influence the price? It's not like 35million is worth more when their executives look nicer and are paid more. Only money talks.. if we offer 50million and they reject it, and somebody else offers 35 and they accept it, then it's the stupidity of the selling board, not the wisdom of the buying party. Either that or we don't offer hookers as an unofficial part of a deal.

E: sorry, I misunderstood your point at first. I now see that you meant we pull out of the negos instantly as soon as they want too much, whilst other clubs keep negotiating until the price is reasonable.

What would be the point of that?

Cavani is basically like Torres before he joined Chelsea, their playing style is equally similar.

Well said! Im a huge fan of Cavani but if its going to take 50million Euros to buy him then shake the head and move on. All we need is another Torres saga!

This is what happens when negotiators do things behind closed doors. They like to offer the sweet talk to force them into a deal! You only need to look at what happened when they stole Robinho from us after discovering their "profound wealth"

Bang on. Ability being the operative word. Cavani is definitely a natural born striker, but I'd rather spend that money on a versatile striker like Pato or Hulk. A striker who can beat players. Aguero what a miss he was, what rubs salt in the wounds is how hot our pursuit was for many years. He consistently talked big of us and he somehow ended up at City. Amid Torres capture it was rumored we still pertained interest.

[J.F. 1,484]

i'm watching napoli last 2 years, and Cavani is going to be one of the best strikers in the world, if we can get him we can find a great replace for big Drogs.
