Edinson Cavani

[Blue Armour 4,252]

Well surely PSG would elect to part with Zlatan before Cavani? The Swede might be on better form but he's older and they can build around Cavani more they can around Zlatan.

What do you think of Chelsea taking the Swede, and have Lukaku as the 2nd and upcoming striker?

Cavani over Costa for me. Costa is a couple of years younger but there's Lukaku looking to break in and at 27, Cavani still has few good years at the top. Depends on price though, if PSG let him leave for less than 50mil (assuming FFP problems are true) then Cavani definitely but between Cavani at 60-70mil and Costa at 35mil, it depends on if Jose can fit Cavani and other preferred targets within the budget

L'Equipe: PSG set to be offered salary cap, transfer limit, UCL squad limit & a fine of 60m over 3 years in FFP sanctions.

PSG's current payroll highest in Europe (240m) & PSG will be hit with further penalties if they exceed this in future.

UEFA want to impose transfer limit of 60m for PSG. If club spend entire sum on one player, payroll cannot increase.

PSG to be limited to 21-man UCL squad instead of regular 25-man group (8 of whom would have to be trained domestically).

PSG to be fined 60m over next 3 years (20m yearly). Need to lower deficit to no more than 30m by end of next season.

Final agreement must be reached with PSG, who can appeal. If they do, they risk a more severe punishment.

In short, PSG must now sell to buy. Wage bill must be cut, 60m limit on future moves, UCL squad size limit of 21 & a fine to pay.

Edinson Cavani, Marco Verratti, Javier Pastore & Ezequiel Lavezzi could all leave PSG to enable club to bring in new players.

Get me cavani and cabaye and my life is complete

The problem is you're then continuing to build around short-term players. That's a mistake of this season choosing to use Eto'o & Torres, but it was justified because we were limited in what we could do in this window and Mourinho had to adopt himself within this squad. Ibra will be 33 in October so we'll get at best 2-seasons of prime Zlatan.

[Special Juan 27,387]

This guy always jumps out as my main striker I would like to see here.

[iseah100 5,612]

No. I don't like him. WE SHOULD HAVE GOT LEWANDOWSKI WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE!

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

No. I don't like him. WE SHOULD HAVE GOT LEWANDOWSKI WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE!

BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE. He wanted Bayern.

Though maybe in those two years we'd have better forwards to choose from, because at the moment CFC are in a situation where we have to spend big to sign a renown forward player and the clubs know it. I do get your point but Ibra is a winner and it would give us options in the future.

Yeah, but the thing is by taking the Swede short-term, Chelsea could develop Lukaku for the long-term (if he really has the potential), right? No doubt people would prefer a 25 -27 yr old world class striker., (and Cavani would be my first pick in that category) but if we're talking about developing a younger striker there's not much chance he can get when the first choice striker is going to hang around for 5-6 yrs.

The problem with this, both points, is that we'll then keep in this constant loop of "transition". While Oscar, Hazard & co begin to mature and come into their own we'll continuously be halted by the absence of a long-term striker. And if we took Blue Armour's suggestion of using him to bring through Lukaku, what if Ibra is brilliant in the 2 season we get out of him and thus he actually hampers Lukaku's progress?

Strange there is not talk about Chelsea interested in gettin Cavani after Luiz deal.

Because Diego Costa will be here next season?!

Why would there be?

We probably sign Costa, Torres stays and we also have Lukaku. I don't think we should go for such an expensive striker.

To be honest I think Cavani is way better.

[bababoom 4,478]

To be honest I think Cavani is way better.

Cavani may be the better player, but he will cost in the region of £55 million. That's £20 million more than Costa, is he that much better? I'm not so sure. Also take into account his high wages. Costa is a no brainer for me, he may not be the better player but for the money we're spending on him I think its a great deal.

To other said Luiz was sold for almost that price. Not sure if the money is an issue here. Also Cavani is the safe option, he has a track record of good seasons in european leagues, and playing for Uruguai. Diego Costa has only one great season in his CV.
