Edinson Cavani

You're assuming we'd play 4-4-2 for that lol. Mourinho's a one-man striker, much like our system's been for the last 10-11 years

We obviously wouldn't play 4-4-2.

But i can defintitely see Lukaku coming on for 20 mins alongside him. We would be pretty stupid to switch to a 2 up top system.

Hm.

The skeptic in me feels Lukaku will want to leave if Cavani comes in.. Be it on loan or permanent transfer.

As mentioned in the Lukaku thread, i think that if Lukaku is made the undisputed No 2. And we can get out of the torres shadow, then it wouldn't hamper his development. We have 60 game + season next year, and Lukaku would get a lot of sub appearances as well as starts when we rotate. No matter how good cavani is he wouldn't play every game. Provided Lukaku is given the no.2 role i don't see a problem. Though if he stays and we still have FT as a supersub, then it could be hampering his development.

That's a good point. However with Torres' wages, age and general form, I don't think anyone's going to take a punt on him.. Which forces him to be the 2nd choice striker. Not to mention, Demba Ba isn't going anywhere, not 6 months after we signed him.

Why though?

Is he better than Lukaku? No not even close. Mourinho is one of the few managers i think who will realise this and act accordingly and wouldnt be afraid to bench him if needed.

That would be pretty incredible tbh. Shame its probably not trye. But we can hope.

Makes too much sense IMO.

If Rafa plays his part in persuading Torres to join Napoli opening the door for Cavani then he would be fully forgiven for all his past shinanigans.

And absolutely un-realistic IMO.

Why would Napoli want him ?...
