MY TALENT HAS STRUCK AGAIN

His celebration would look a bit silly here. He's used to doing a huge roar like "RAWRRRRRR" or something when he scores which goes perfectly well with the Napoli fans going "GOAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

No bigger gamble than going into a season as defending European champions with Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge as your only recognised centre forwards.

oooh... and how did that turn out....?

You really want another season like the one we had ?

I think everyone always assumed that Cavani will go for a bit lesser money than his release clause. Now I don't think we should spend 63mil on this guy. We might have the cash but in deals like this with such huge amount of money involved, the price tag can weigh on the player

Edinson is the best striker in the world. Getting him might be crucial, but I would understand if we dont sign him as the pricetag is way too high!

This

Times have changed. In 2004 we could buy anyone with talent for insane amounts of money. We still can do that. But in 2004 we had no titles and no squad. Now we have. Mourinho's arrival means we will at least win COC, Fa Cup or shit like this, so it would not be that big drama to miss out on the league, given we did not invest that much and given we at least were able to compete.

63m is an insane amount of money for one player. No one should blame our board for backing out at these amounts. The market is inflated enough already and provided that we have already have some experiences with strikers in these priceclasses, there would at least be a learning process displayed which would make the decision retraceable.

Ba, Torres, Lukaku + Schürrle being able to play as a striker are surely enough in numbers. Even though Gomez/Dzeko might be a bit more clinical than those, I see no sense in spending more than 20m on a slight upgrade. The league is won against smaller teams and against exactly these Ba, Torres, Lukaku will probably be enough. Dzeko or Gomez would mean 3-5 points more for us from these. I bet those will not make us Champions hence they are not worth 20m.

Last season we played with literally no strikers cos most of the time Torres/Studge/Ba all were off form. This is unlikely to happen again. Also we have never been a club that relied too much on strikers in the league since Abramovich came. Except the 06/07 and the 09/10 season we did not even have a striker with more than 16 goals. Lampard will ship in again with double figueres and will win some matches on his own. As will Mata and Hazard. Ramires and Oscar will also score a few and our centre backs are also unusually dangerous. ACtually one has to recognize the benefits of the much dreaded Lampard-Ramires pivot. They might be a bit ineffective defensively, but it's not that we concede too often and rarely it's their fault. On the other hand they scored almost 30 goals combined, many of them were really important. Makes them the highest-scoring defensive midfield pairing in the world^^

If we do not get Cavani, Lewandowski or so equivalent. Give it a go with luakaku and if it does not work, we can still rectify in winter.

if the worst case we can't get Cavani or antoher Top striker,,then we must add a "Super Winger" like Di Maria or Hulk to help Mata scoring for next season....

Well we have bought Andre Schurrle for a start.

:doh: You have absolutely missed my point...

Last year we had Torres and Sturridge.

Now we have Torres, Ba, Lukaku and Schurrle - four different styles of centre-forward. We don't absolutely need another striker, so if we miss out on Cavani it's no big deal. If we're so intent on another forward, buy a poacher.

Just read on another forum that some European Journalists are saying we will complete a deal for Cavani as early as today.

Disclaimer.....Not from me.

Nothing happening before the Confed cup, i am sure!!

Kinda don't even want him now the figures being talked about is just silly and we're not desperate. He's a brilliant player and In my opinion the best finisher in the world but there are other options available.

for example?

Yeah i think this might be more possible then buying another striker.

With hulk wanting out we could easily go for him.

But only if their club wanted to sell and for a good price.

And I'll take hulk over di maria because he is another weakling.

We need strength and aggressiveness in our team, to balance out with the midgets in our team.
