Edinson Cavani

[DANILA 290]

man City has had 3 or 4 good strikers in the last ~3 years. Why shouldn't we be able to have costa and cavani? CFC is being more linked to the transfer as we speak

[Special Juan 27,421]

Won't be able to contain my joy if this actually happens, the noises have came from ESPN by the looks of things and seem to be gathering pace, but it could all be outlets wanting that top headline.

Hard not to be excited by it because in one brain thought you are back to reality

[iseah100 5,612]

Not gonna get my hopes up.

[Daniel1980 1,425]

The money isn't the problem -- we can easily afford him if we want -- our HG situation is. We'll need to cast out 3 non-HG players if we get Cavani.

[Mechromancer 262]

He's better in the wing. But, again, isn't a good partner for Diego. And he doesn't like play there.

If we want a 9, Falcao is better option. He was the best in the world before his injury.

[termninja 5,290]

I'm 50-50 for this transfer.

Cavani is a brilliant player whom we actually can sign without too much trouble. Do we need him? Short term thinking says no, but long term says yes because Drogba is here for 1 season while all that's keeping Torres at the club are his high wages which basically leaves us with only Costa.

Signing Cavani would give us lots of firepower up front which we actually do need. He can definitely do better then Drogba and Torres.

I'm fully against 2 strikers starting on our regular formation. We have way too much offensive players and midfielders to sacrifice one position so we could field another striker.

If it happens, I'm happy, if it doesn't, I'm still happy.

Anyone who used to watch Jose's Madrid team a lot, can you remember how he dealt with having two good strikers then (Benzema & Higuain)?

Did he rotate them regularly or ever play them both or..?

[Mechromancer 262]

Sometimes, both played. In the beginning, 2010, Higuaín was the first option, but after the injury in his back and the Adebayor arrival, Benzema played more. 2011-12 is the Karim season; GOAT level, really. Gonzalo played well too, but not at that level. More bench player until Di María injury in the beginning of the 2012. In the 2012-13, the same situation, if i remember well. But both played worse. Especially the french.

Last year of his contract. Hasn't renewed yet... Without trade rumors... Very strange.

He rotated them but I think he'll use Costa and Cavani similar to how he used Milito and Etoo at Inter.

Rather we got Vidal than cavani

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

It doesn't make sense - Chelsea has to let a foreign player go, not to bring one.

Should Cavani arrive here, Jose will have to sell two foreign players. And frankly I can't see him shipping both Cech and Mikel in the same window and remain with Ramires, Romeu and van Ginkel as the only back up players for the CM role.

Mikel might not be the best half back out there, but you know Jose will pick him over Romeu and van Ginkel at any hour of the day. Especially in the big games - and there will be plenty of those in the next season.

We'd have to ship out 3 because we're at 19 currently.

Honigstein on our interest in Cavani.

Mikel wont be sold.

I'd keep Romeu if Mikel goes, otherwise we'd have only Matic, Fabregas, MvG and Ramires for 2 places (3 if we want to switch to 433).

Ake and Baker can play there too, although I'd obviously prefer Chalobah.

Aren't Baker and Nat confirmed to be loan bound?
