Popular Post! The Mak 4,459 Posted February 6, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted February 6, 2013 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/8475692/Transfer-news-Manchester-City-readying-move-for-Napoli-s-Edinson-CavaniIt'd be really shit to see him go to City. Aguero and Cavani is not fair. You'd have to wonder though, how would they be able sign a £55m+ player, have their current wage structure and comply with FFP. It all seems to be a farce. There must be loopholes and such. Anyway, personally, I'd much rather Cavani than Falcao. He's more of an all-rounder; holds it up, strong, tracks back, can run the channels, shoot from distant, poach. Brilliant player.

Marvin123 534 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I believe he is the best player to fit our system, Would love to have him and lukaku and Ba all challenging for positions near season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I would rather sign Lewandowski since his contract expires in 2014. Would cost half the price of Cavani and is fantastic striker. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I would rather sign Lewandowski since his contract expires in 2014. Would cost half the price of Cavani and is fantastic striker.Think he's a great system striker and would work on the right team but for us, he has some serious weaknesses in his game. It's pretty obvious that a striker on this team is going to need to do a fair bit other than score. They're going to need to hold up the ball, to make good runs, to put in defensive work, etc...Lewandowski is an excellent finisher and strong in the air, but he's poor at holding up the ball. He averages 5.1 turnovers/dispossessions a game. By comparison, Torres only averages 3.8 of those and Cavani 3.4. Cavani also, no matter what, puts in excellent defensive work and is overall one of the best defensive forwards in football. Cavani is also a capable passer who is not afraid to play long balls to teammates and get involved i n build-up play. Lewandowski is cheaper but there's a reason he's going to be cheaper. What kind of striker will he be outside of Dortmund's particular style? It's all about value and we don't know how much either player would cost so I can't say I prefer one buy over another (or even either of them at all) but I'd much rather have Cavani all other things being equal.

Cant agree more that Cavani would suit us more, but Lewandowski is still much cheaper and also quite hard worker (if you compare him to Falcao,...), he makes assists, dribbles and contributes to team a lot. Basicaly, similar to Rvp, but obviously not that good. Cavani is class act as he is hard worker and strong, skillful and all, but also extremely expensive and still huge risk for those 50mio we would splash on him.

LondonPride1905 236 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 In my opinion if we are spending that big, Cavani is the better choice. Despiadado.Maleante 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Better for Chelsea system.. Not necessarily in general. Cavani is more well-rounded than Falcao. Better striker overall for me as he gives more to your team. But when it comes to lethal finishing, Falcao is in a league of his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Last night his contribution was insane. This bloke is a beast of a footballer.If you haven't seen it, watch it.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 His movement for the fifth goal was just sublime, he pulls behind the defender and then a burst of pace he is front of him and across him.Joy to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 He is younger, has more abiities and proven in CL. Only thing Falcao has better is finishing/heading. Sure on his day Falcao can destroy opponent on his own alone; but the last game that Falcao was realy beast was against us back in summer. Since then he scored lot of goals, but he didnt impress me that much like he did last season. One thing is guaranteed. When Falcao has no support, he is anonymus, when Cavani has no support he still fights back like lion. Sure Chelsea can load striker with lots of balls, but usualy our strikers are very lonely and Cavani can still perform in such games, while Falcao cant.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This guy ticks nearly every box you could wish for, whether we go for him and pay the vast amounts being touted around is another matter though.I truly enjoy what he does, just that yesterday was another reason why this guy is a class act.

Torino v Napoli was an immense game.That guy Dzemaili was awesome too I havent seen three such superb goals from single player for a long time. But yeah Cavani is just having best season, he would be a massive player here. For some reason I feel Falcao could fail here, but I dont have same feeling for Cavani. Anyway such performances are putting his price sky high and he wont go for anything less than 45mio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundaka 243 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 If we sign a striker i prefer lewandowski, he should be more than good enough. Falcao and Cavani will be too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
