Edinson Cavani

Reminds you, there are most likely no further news until Confederations Cup ended or Uruguay eliminated.

Now we know how it must felt being Liverpool and Arsenal fans when Roman came.

What goes around comes around as the saying goes.

It's not the money it's just the fact that they don't have a manager with any strategy yet so they are inclined to buy any player that they think the future manager will want.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Feeling more positive about this as the days go on, still don't think it's "as good as done" though.

Chelsea are reportedly willing to pay Edinson Cavani’s €63m buy-out clause, which Napoli would re-invest in El Shaarawy. [Football Italia]

It's not the money it's just the fact that they don't have a manager with any strategy yet so they are inclined to buy any player that they think the future manager will want.

Well I thought they made their strategy known already?

To win 5 trophies in the next 5 seasons. That is a very bold approach, I guess we can say something similar to what Chelsea aimed for a couple of years ago.

Now we are more for developing younger players and paying less.

So got to face it, we are no longer competing for top expensive players like before.

I really think torres was our last expensive buy for quite a long time.

I doubt that Chelsea will sign cavani that will be the end of a big signing for a long time I think

If we keep on winning trophies then it will be all good.

Actually, we keep on winning trophies since Torres first full season. It's still good then.

Oh people where asking if Real Madrid was interested in Cavani?

Real Madrid join chase for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani

I am like 90% sure we are NOT going to get him.

With Mourinho conference, it looks more and more like we are going to rely more on younger players and spend less.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Best scenario for this case:

-Barca buy Torres for £17m

-West Ham buy/want to loan Ba

-Cavani signs for us for £53m

-Lukaku get a lot of chances

Everyone happy. From Ba and Torres last season to Cavani and Lukaku this season is just an incredible improvement.

Hopefully Uruguay is knocked out in the group stages so we have a quick resolution to this transfer.

At the very minimum we must wait at least 10-11 more days, even then Uruguay will probably qualify because they along with Spain will probably finish 1st and 2nd of that group. So this saga will last the whole of this month at least imo.

jose said its normal for a couple of new signings. He didnt say a couple of new cut price signings. Im sure we will still be amongst the top spenders

[Special Juan 27,554]

Whilst a couple means two, I am sure if the correct players are available for the right price the figure of two goes by the way side IMO.

I dread to think what sort of beast Jose could turn cavani into.

I'm almost certain Cavani would be a 30 goal striker under Mourinho!

Also, Gourlay mentioned we'd be signing 2 or 3 players to be a part of the team in Thailand, so hoping for some adequate pieces of business soonish

When you look at the last three or four transfer windows, we have continued to invest in the team and the philosophy of the football club is based on success on the field.

We will continue to strengthen the team and I am expecting the introduction of two or three new players and hopefully they will be in place in time to be part of the team in Thailand. http://www.chelseafc.com/pre-season-tour-article/article/3098213/title/gourlay-a-base-in-bangkok

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Cavani £53m, Mangala £30m, De Rossi £15. There you go, 3 players for £100m, fit in exactly with what Mourinho and Gourlay said

[termninja 5,290]

What really annoys me from some people is how they seem to have this lower club syndrome...dafuq WHY WOULDN'T CAVANI WANT TO COME HERE?

At the moment, we are the most attractive team for a player, especially for a striker.

Why?

• Weak strikeforce in which Cav would kick ass.
• Besides that, it's London, and I don't think I've ever heard a Chelsea player complain about life in London.
• We compete for all trophies and we win them on regular basis, something only Manu, Bayern and Barca do.
• Fergie retired, Bale will probably leave meaning Manu and Tottenhem will be weaker = less competition
• We have the most talented squad and that is a fact.
• Lukaku - the most talented striker at the moment with really fearsome potential.
• Hazard, Oscar, De Bruyne - most talented along with Gotze and Neymar.
• Azpilicueta - best young RB in the world.
• Courtois - best young GK in the world
• Rich ass owner.
• Currently best manager in the world - ready to stay long term and settle for the first time in his career.

And yet people come here claiming we have no chance competing with Real and City? Oh bug off...

If I was Cavani, I would pick Chelsea because of the PL, because of the profile of players we have and because of Mourinho. It won't be difficult for Can to establish himself here and become an icon at SW6. I would want that fierce competition you get in the PL, I would want to face off PL defenders and show 'em they ain't as good they think they are.

I wouldn't pick Real because of the 2 horse race and all that pressure that follows you even when you're taking a shit...I wouldn't pick Real because I would have to play with Ronaldo who would take half of my balls and make me less influential in the overall play.
