Edinson Cavani

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Kun has signed an extension at city, wonder how that affects their interest in cavani

[Barbara 15,149]

He's one of the best strikers in world football, you have to expect to pay huge money if you want that. The only way someone would come cheaper is if their contract is nigh on run down.

It's not a matter of 'falling for it' it's a matter of do we want one of the best.

it feels overpriced though... and we need more guys than just a striker.

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Why do people keep talking about how we probably wont pay the 63 mill euros for him? We paid 50 for torres, its about the same converted now isn't it? Roman will pay whats necessary if he/Jose/the board wants the player enough

let's not talk about that... the only worse deal in football history is RM's bid for Kaká.

But maybe you guys are right and he has like 100M to spend. I only worry about spending too much in one player when we also need reinforcements in other positions like CB and DM.

45 mil + torres.

Believe me it isn't over priced, he's every bit his release clause IMO....we will address other areas I'm sure of that.

I wouldn't rule out the fee being paid, 63m euros., I said with Torres to myself, no chance we will pay 50m. fucking did. DO NOT rule it out. Something tell me if its a part ex. it could well involve Marin, Romeu etc.

[Hutcho 8,443]

If we don't get him, then i think we should get somonne like rooney. He is not on Cavani's level but we need someone.

[drog.ba 239]

I don't see us having torres and cavani at the same time.

yeah, we had Drogba and Shevchenko/Crespo together though

[Special Juan 28,091]

So lets look at the big picture....We spend 50M on Cavani, 10M on De Rossi and 20M on Schurlle, plus bring back KDB, Essien and Lukaku....

Now we ain't looking bad are we?

Takes FM hat off.....even though I don't play it.

[mediator 2,026]

62 + Torres

[Pizy 18,849]

62 + Torres

Is Torres really worth €1m though?

We'll pay full price and the cost of the plane ticket to get him there. Shit, we'll pay for his medical too.

that's a good deal actually.

we could offload Torres, Mikel, Ba and a few others to make some money - as they probably don't value much but if could cover the other two guys. and yeah, I think Torres is really worth little.

If you consider the remaining wages, that's something like 1 + 3 x 10 M... so yes i approve that deal

Offloading Torres and Ba would be wrong, we would then be in the same situation as last season with two strikers. Cavani and Lukaku and nothing else, we need more back up. My take is keep Torres, Lukaku back in, plus Cavani, three forwards is a good number IMO.
