Edinson Cavani

[Special Juan 28,088]

Comparing a skill. You know how people compare Rooney's finishing Torres? Should they not do that considering they've played different positions this season?

Should Messi not be compared with Ronaldo since they play different positions? Should Gerrard and Lampard not be compared considering they've played completely different roles throughout their careers? No.

This is more of a message to everyone now: If you can't comprehend the fact that 2 players don't have to have identical DNA/genetics to be discussed and maybe, just maybe your opinion is wrong or should be reconsidered, you shouldn't be 'contributing' to a topic you know little of, especially when it causes derailment which the very same people complain about in other threads.

Just had to fit that in before this becomes 3 pages of insults like in the Mourinho thread.

Voila.

Wow a threat and some bull shit thrown in....Keep it up lad.

Message for you....Don't compare an energetic average midfield passer of the ball to someone who is the best in the world in their position.

Voila.

I think you may have miss understood.

All Leif has said was that Cavani "has the engine of Ramires." where did he compare Cavani's passing to Rambo, or his heading to rambo or any other trait to rambo? He simply compared his stamina to ramires. I dont see much wrong in that, and thats all he did.

unless you mean he shouldn't compare ANY trait of Cavani's to rambo then thats a whole other story.

Loook I have had about 20 bottles of beer I am sorry if I have the wrong end of the stick.

Am wrecked.

Question: Which would you be more disappointed about come the start of the season, if we don't buy a top CF or if Torres is still here?

Sound mate.

But if mourinho hasn't been signed yet, I must ask. How much will be downed once JM is officially confirmed?

If we dont end signing cavani... Hulk mayb a decent plan B

torres still hre. not much disappointment is we dont buy a top CF because the expectations are low. on the other hand if torres does not leave it means lukaku on the sidelines/loaned out for another year and truthfully speaking cant see us winning anything with torres as our no.1 striker.

What did you smoke?

[BOSS 372]

If we fail to get Cavani then we should get Jovetic or Bony.

s Napoli my future? Napoli is my today," the former Palermo man told Corriere del Mezzogiorno.

"No one can predict the future. I can only say that today I am happy.

"As for Real Madrid... kids dream, it is normal. Everyone does it. Then life is another thing. I found Napoli and I am proud. Then again it's nice to dream, even when you are grown up.

"For now I am a Napoli player, I am not aware of other offers."

Cavani, who is in the Uruguay squad preparing for Wednesday's friendly with France in Montevideo, insisted to Telefoot that World Cup qualification is currently the only issue pressing on his mind.

"Today, sincerely, I am only thinking about Napoli," he affirmed.

"I have a contract. Right now, I am concentrating on my national team because we are going through a delicate time. The game against France will be an ideal preparation for the game against Venezuela [on June 11].

"It will be a tough game but the whole country wants us to get this qualification."

I just hate it, I really want cavani but if he is dreaming of madrid( and has said it a couple of times) it would annoy me if he joined now..

[mediator 2,026]

If we fail to sign him we should play Lukaku up front

[DanishBlue 426]

Yeah, that's the thing. I don't like him talking about Madrid all the time either. I don't want us to be his second or even third choice. We are Chelsea, he should be dying to come here and not to Real (well, it's the biggest club in the world so it's maybe hard to say anything about it).

I don't think so.. Hulk is a winger, not a centre forward.

Not if Monaco have anything to say about it!

He could be gone to Madrid with Higuain leaving and them needing a new big name striker. With Falcao gone, it's going to be between Cavani, Lewa and Suarez, though honestly I see them going for Suarez first if his behavior doesn't stop them.

I won't be bothered that much if we don't sign him because it will mean more game time for Lukaku, and Lukaku is certainly better now then Cavani was when he was his age !

We can do well with Higuain also if it's for something reasonable. Lukaku and Ba are good enough rotating options for us. I would even expect us giving a good title challengde with Jose at the helm. Best is yet to come from Azpi, Hazard, Oscar, Ba, Lukaku, Moses...

[nono 791]

It seems this summer the prices are being set so high that even the richer clubs are balking. Both Napoli and Tottenham are setting ridiculous prices, thinking that someone will eventually bite. Tottenham have always managed to sell these players for more than they are worth. Both Berbatov and Modric were flopped the expectations set by their transfer fees. This will be the same for Bale I feel.

[nono 791]

I'd be happy to just roll with Lukaku. Let's just shore up central midfield and buy another center back.

That is what will happen most probably. Cavani was most closely linked with Madrid since Jan and I don't think we were ever going for a pure striker this summer because we just signed one in Jan. It was always a case of the supporters wanting a Cavano or a Falcao. We will probably sign a player like Schurrle who plays on the wings but can cover at ST.
