Edinson Cavani

[LondonPride1905 236]

There are still buterflies in my belly, when I hear him and see this thread bumped. Open it, saw City rumours and I still can't believe it could happen. I don't know if Tancredi is right, but I assure you De Laurentis is one stubborn man. Italians are mainly like that. I don't know , but I doubt City want to spend a new 400 milion on a squad, when they have such great players now. If the rumours about Pellegrini are true, then Aguero and Tevez will be kept. I still have that dodgy feeling that they are gonna sign another striker , that would cost them cheaper or just use Guidetti. He has trillion tons of potential. Apart from that, I don't see why we can't sign him. If Cavani is wanted, we may beat City. Because every damn person that has 3 squares of football knowledge knows that Chelsea need a goal-scoring striker, much more than Manchester City. A part from that Cavani will have Mata , Hazard , Oscar or KDB or Moses, behind his back. Come on? 33 asissts to Mata, you can't say he couldn't be that interested. I still think if there is a bid from us, he will gladly consider it. Remember his interview , where he said that if he has the opportunity, to choose a team it would be Juventus or us, and that was in his Palermo days, when I think we were searching for a Drogba replacement, but never had contacted his agent.

Manchester City could be doing us a tremendous favour by doing this.

Cavani talks coming up next on Sky Sports News if any one is interested.

by buying a world-class striker? oh yeah...

I take it that's a disagreement??

Remember when Lewandowski completely ripped Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid apart in Dortmund with 4 goals... kinda similar to when Didier Drogba for Marseille scored against Mourinho's Porto side some 9 years ago... consider it an omen! Mourinho brought him in at Chelsea, and look what Drogba achieved! That's the way I'm looking at the whole thing!

Lewandowski is good, but not better than both combined.

Cavani is the better striker out of the three for me. Then Falcao, then Lewandowski - but I'd have Lewy over Falcao simply because he's a bit more complete.

he's not the only one out there, and for the money he costs.. na, you're alright

[DDA 9,924]

Sky Sports News confirm the cash plus Dzeko swap deal currently in talks. Looking very likely

there arent many out there. falcao looking to go to monaco, lewandowski wont come here. which players are left?

Even if none of these 3 deals happen we still have Lukaku and under Mourinho I could see him net 20+ PL goals this coming season. However a defensive midfielder is DEFINITELY needed.

Missing out on Cavani, Falcao, Lewandowski makes Mario Gomez rather likely suddenly. Apart from Gomez's lack of class, we would be stuck with 3 (4 when we bring back romelu) rather similar types of strikers. All are more than 6ft tall relying of physical attributes and are rather inconsistant esp concerning finishes. I'd rather have Lukaku+ s.o. like Iago aspas
