Edinson Cavani

[YouNameIt 1,511]

I dont care diddly about how much we pay for him.... but we need to get rid of Torres and sign at least one midfielder (assuming Schurrle is already semi-done)

Striker-wise Cavani+Ba would be excellent. Ba is the perfect substitute. Also, we could recall Lukaku in january if needed.

Can't believe there are actually people who don't want this. Madness. Do you think people will be mentioning the price or shitting themselves at the idea of Cavani playing in front of Mazacar. I think I know.

People have understandable reservations about us spending so much money on this guy.

Personally I'd be surprised if we actually were close to agreeing a deal for this much money because I don't think our board are like this anymore.

Marca reporting Madrid are back in for him:

He'll go to Madrid if they agree a fee and the way Madrid fling money around and the fact Higuain is more than likely being shipped off - I can see that happening.

Lukaku is sticking around by all accounts and I'd much rather have him coming off the bench than Ba to be quite honest.

But you're right that we need to be shipping Torres off. Shame Benitez doesn't seem to rate him as highly as he did in all those press conferences where he was praising his workrate in training.

Of fuck. Hurry up and wrap this up.

the price tag is alot.

If he really wanted a move to Chelsea...we could negotiate and lower the fee with Napoli.

Look at Fernandinho..he was desperate to move to a bigger league..and by using twitter/press conferences, forced his club to sell him for less than his release clause.

Hurry up and get the deal done before City find their balls and just put up the release clause!

United was proof last season that you need to take a risk on a top striker and that having one can swing the title in your direction.

Cavani can be our RvP!

Was reading the comments on that article and it looks like in Spain they believe Cavani is definitely coming to us.

One 'source' in France and people are acting like he's posing in a Chelsea shirt....

I'm never quite sure why we're using United as the model for squad building when we won two titles without a 20 goal-a-season striker, and we have players like Hazard and Mata who have shown an ability to score big goals.

While we won 2, they won........................................................................................close to 20

yeah well city werent around then so it was simpler/

[DanishBlue 426]

I hate all these ups and downs. One second one thinks it's a done deal then the other second another club is buying him.

Remember Robinho and Hulk - everyone thought they were coming.

Regarding the price that's normally something I think about a lot because I hate when we get ripped off but I actually think that he is worth the money. Well, maybe it's 5-7 million too much but I guess we will have to pay that extras to wrap up the deal before another club buys him.

I don't fancy facing Cavani when playing against City - I want him in our team.

There's a difference between paying 22 million & 50 million.

RvP wasn't really a risk...he carried Arsenal the previous season and he wanted to win trophies.

Wenger was stupid enough to sell him to a rival club.

@ChelsTransfer: Chelsea informed Fernando Torres camp last Monday that he is free to look for another club but only should a reasonable offer arrive #CFC

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Is this the haranr thread or Cavani thread?

[DanishBlue 426]

I hope it's true that the board tries to get him far away from our club.

If I have to witness another season with Torres as the number one striker I might cry myself to death.

[Behemoth 266]

I'm just sitting back and laughing at all of this. 63 million? Unbelievable.

There are other options available - options that wont break the bank and tie your hands in other segments that need to be addressed. Is he good? Yes. Is he amazing? Probably. Is he 63 mil. amazing? Fuck no.
