Edinson Cavani

[OneMoSalah 8,797]

I would be very surprised if any of the things you said happens...

1) The option of him staying is pratically impossible, he already stayed one more year because Napoli's president asked him to. Now, he will want to gain much more money an to actually fight for trophies.

2) Why would Napoli accept 50mi euros and no striker in return, but would not accept 30-40mi and Torres? It makes no sense...

3) I can see Torres leaving to rejoin Benitez at Napoli, it all depends if he wants to play football and be happy or if he wants to make money and train with the reserves.

1) Napoli still hold the cards, as he has a few years on his deal left. Plus hes never stated hes desperate to move/wants to leave like Suarez has just done has he? Hes said hes still reasonably happy in Naples several times. Hes only said he dreams of playing in Spain recently.

2) There is no proof Napoli are interested in Torres, just because Rafa is there it means nothing. Rafa never tried to sign Torres at Inter did he? Would you rather 30-40 million and a shit striker or a full 50 million? I know what I'd rather. Who even says Napoli can afford to pay £175,000 p/w to Torres? They probably can't, in fact no probably about it, they can't. Some of the money we'd be giving Napoli would have to cover his big contract too so they would end up with less than 30-40 million too as their wage structure is inferior in comparison to ours

3) Same as 2, there is no proof Rafa/Napoli has the desire to buy Torres when he already has Cavani who isn't dead on to leave yet. Torres won't be sold, hes a big investment by Roman, if he was as ruthless as he was with his managers he'd have been gone by now but he isn't so expect more of the same until 2016 or 2017 when his deal runs out.

Dude, in what world you live in? As soon as Cavani sees the teams, coaches and wages he would be playing in, all your dream theory of 'I love Napoli' goes to waist...

Also, Torres and Benitez may very well want to rejoin forces. He was playing quite well in this last month and he has a way better reputation around Europe that you might think!

Every deal, specially a big one, involves many variables and choices/decisions. However, Torres + 30-40mi for Cavani makes perfect sense!

An easy way to see if an offer is appealing is asking yourself, if I was the one receiving the offer would I take it? In this case, if I was de Laurentiis, the answer would be no every time. This sounds like the rumours that Barca have offered Sanchez and 17 million for Mata - a massive slap in the face.

It would be far more logical to take the 50-60 million and reinvest in another elite striker rather than getting less cash AND an under-performing striker.

[Special Juan 27,454]

Give them Torres, Malouda and Benayoun plus 100M....anything to get Cavani....then we can all sit back and drink beer

I would accept 40mi + Torres!

Fernando would do much better at Napoli than he did at Chelsea. He would be with Benitez, in a counter-attacking team and with a much lesser wage. He wont be do under-performing!

Also, they can do a lot with 40mi euros plus UCL money. Benitez is not such a terrible buyer and I bet he can find great players with that much money. However, what striker and how much money left can they get by selling Cavani and buy someone else seperately?

I'm not sure I believe all the rumours about Benitez wanting Torres back - after being our manager for ~6 months, he would've realized how dire Torres actually is now. I do think Torres would score more at Napoli, if he did choose to move there, but Benitez probably has his own list of transfer targets. Who knows, maybe they could get Jovetic or one of Benitez's inexplicable transfer targets...

The way I see Torres's inclusion isn't just that he might drive down the price a little, but it gets him off the wage book and closes a chapter on one of the worst transfers in football history. He needs a fresh starts, we need a fresh start and this might just be one of those transfers that benefits every party involved.

Amen to that.

I really hope Torres leaves and goes to Atletico. He's tarnished his reputation at this joke of a club and unlike Shevchenko he still has some time on him to repair it.

The way some fans constantly abuse him and deride him on here you'd never think he was actually the best striker on the planet at one point of his career just like Sheva was.

Liverpool/Spain irresponsibly burning him out, back to back hamstring injuries, playing an obscene amount of games in his early years and loss on confidence are why he's not the player he once was. As much as fans love to blame the player Chelsea are the ones who decided to waste 50m on him, knowing his injury history and current form that season.

The hatred should be aimed at our board not the player. It's frustrating watching him at times but he has had some notable moments for the club, show some respect for crying out loud.

A villain is someone like Suarez the racist, diving, biting, violent scumbag not someone who can hardly do fuck all about his current situation.

Anyway I hope he leaves, I'm still not convinced this club plays to his strengths and perhaps a change of environment would do him good.

Fuck me.

He had about 12 months of constant support from the fans who looked for little things to get excited about, like winning a corner in the CL Final or simply showing some fucking effort to get in the box. But some of his performances were embarrassing.

You can't offer Malouda and Benayoun as part of the deal...they are leaving on free transfers!

At this joke of a club? I am convinced you actually don't support Chelsea and are just a complete troll.

Do us all a favor and stay logged off.

You are an idiot. We are a joke of a club ? The joke is on Torres ! He is the highest earner here yet is a constant noose around our necks. The two cups we've won the last two years take attention off the fact that we've finished 3rd and 6th his two seasons here. That's largely due to his woeful performance. Go to twitter and you'll see plenty of idiots like you crying that Torres is leaving. The club hasn't played to his strengths but he has been ABYSMAL !!!!. That argument would work if he wasn't the worst transfer in EPL history. No matter what support, he should have been doing way better.

The fans showed him alot of respect, we were very patient with Torres...had to wait an eternity for him to score his first goal.

As for the club not playing to his strengths....what did Torres expect? That we change all of our tactics just for him and spoon feed him bags of goals like at Liverpool?

If Torres wanted respect, he would of stayed at Liverpool, possibly retired there...

Stick to making videos, that is if you're the real Gilvorak.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Just want to say this once and get it off my chest, but it truly makes me laugh whenever people say things like "thanks Fernando for winning that corner in Munich". I mean... are we being serious here? I understand that it was the corner that led to the equaliser, but come on! If we're "thanking" players for little things like that then we should erect statues for what the likes Cole, Cech, Drogba, Lamps and loadsa other players did, even Kalou Malouda and co. All those goal-line clearances by Cole? The last-ditch tackles by Cahill? The unbelievable saves by Cech?

Now I'm not saying he played no part in our CL win. And I think he did ok this past season considering how absolutely awful he was when he first arrived and taking into account the pace he has lost and whatever. But seriously the abuse we have given players like Kalou, Mikel, etc and even Drogba over the past few years is shameful considering how we've put up with this guy.

Anyway since this is the Cavani thread... hope we get him lol
