Edinson Cavani

[Spike 12,049]

You make some great points and I agree with most of them entirely. But one thing kept running through my head when I read this.....

I'd rather have Wayne Rooney. Hard-working, big-game player, brings other players into the game, scored goals.....that obviously all has an asterisk based on fitness but they're roughly the same age and Rooney's price was mooted to be about £20 million less than Cavani.

£20 million - that's Schurrle. That's probably a Mangala, maybe even 2/3 of a Varane. It's two De Rossis, or one De Rossi and one Van Ginkel. I trust the club to manage their finances and get value but £50 million+ for Cavani is terrifying.

The pricetag is terrifying for Cavani, absolutely. But so is Rooney's when you think about it. £20 million...£50 million...either are massive outlays by the club no matter which way you spin it. I want the club to buy the player they absolutely want and they absolutely need. I don't want them to settle for Rooney just because he is £30 million cheaper. I'd rather an expensive cylinder go into a circle hole rather than a cheaper triangular pyramid trying to fit into the same hole.

Another analogy, would you prefer the girl that is perfect for you even though he she has expensive tastes or the other girl who is nice and all has cheap taste, but doesn't have that special 'something' the other girl has?

Not saying that Cavani is perfect and Rooney isn't, or vice versa. Just putting it out there they club might consider it in that vein.

I don't think any club would consider buying Rooney 'settling', and yes they're both massive amounts of money in the grand scheme of things which is why I put it in terms of players we could add to the squad.

To me both players can do similar jobs, but Rooney knows this league and under Mourinho could be a terrifying player for the opposition.

I don't want players here because they want to work with Mourinho. I want players here because they want to wear our badge regardless whether Mou is here or not.

Why would you post fake quotes like that? You'll now be the boy who cried wolf. Enjoy.

Seriously is there no critical thinking before posting random shit? It's like just a summary of searching of Cavani at twitter at this point, shouldn't this forum act as a bit of a filter for what is obviously BS and doesn't even have a source?

Sorry for me sounding angry, but these kind of posts are polluting every thread and they aren't even funny.

Well.

1. That quote is obviously false.

2. Cavani has said before that he would love to play for CFC, when Mourinho wasn't here.

3. You're deluded if you think most players come to Chelsea because they want to "wear the badge".

Being cynical and deducting things from a false quote for no reason.
