Edinson Cavani

[edenhazard17 281]

Funniest thing I've read in this topic are those posts along the line of "why don't we just pay the other €8 million", etc. - just like it's an extra fiver! This isn't FIFA, some people - nay, a lot of people - need to realise that.

Probably, the main reason is because we're run out of options, sir.

Out of 3 wonder strikers, with Falcao gone for Monaco's project, Lewandowski looking to be forced to honor his last year contract, the only option we have, with the possibility to leave still likely is Cavani.

You lots run out of options with building your imaginary teams.

Chelsea now got 4 striker's option.

So no need for more till we sell.

Sell torres.

Buy rooney.

Rooney lukaku and ba could work quite well especially as that would give us a variety of options, and lukaku would get lots of game time.

Or failing that just put lukaku up front. He could do it with west broms supply line so why can't he do it with us. It's not like we are reliant on our strikers as much as many teams.

My question with Rooney is why he would leave united for Chelsea?

Does not make any sense to me.

He won everything with united and they are a bigger club then us.

So if anything he rather go abroad.

Rooney is getting pushed out and can't play his favourite position and has competition for other positions he can play. We on the other hand would make him no. 1 in his preferred position and can easily challenge united. And on top of that have one of the greatest managers in Jose.

And I can't see rooney adapting to another country.

Unfortunately, each of the 4 strikers we have now is not or not yet in the same level with each of those big 3, and that makes some of Chelsea fans worried we can't compete strongly in 4 competitions.

With all due respect, we will not get the best option out there, if we have to sold first. Market went crazy now.

And that's why for Mourinho he wont win big this season.

Cause he knows it will be hard because of the strikers we got.

We will stay with what we got till someone is sold. As simple as that.

This is not just about improving our team but also it is a statement of intent. Since when do we start to back out of first class players because we can't afford their fee? And because if we don't, some other team out there will probably pay it for him so that mean we are losing out and HE IS NOT OVERPRICED. Base on the market today he is WORTH AT LEAST £40M anyway, so £53m is not even that much overpriced, I understand if he is some unproven player or just a one hit wonder or just play in a shitty league like Hulk last summer. BUT NO, THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP GOAL SCORER IN EUROPE. Behind Messi and Ronaldo and I think Falcao. Well Messi we will never get, same with Ronaldo, Falcao already gone so we are left with the 4th best attacker in Europe, possibly the world atm and we think £50m is overpriced.

How much do you think he is worth then? £20m?

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Our fan's mentality is changing which is not good enough. I bet most of you will still be happy if we don't win the CL or even come close to win them in the next 2-3 years if we continue to win FA Cup each year. Since when did we have this lay back attitude? We always go for the best and if it fail then we settle for second, not we settle for second because we can't get the best. We aren't even trying.

You just admitted he was overpriced.

Not a mentality change. Just a logic change. With FFP coming in we can't just buy everyone we want. We need to buy in other positions as well. Our squad is very talented. We need a striker (If is cavani, then great), if not then we have other options.

Like I mentioned before, we got a lot of money to spend this summer. We are not buying 11 new players, we are buying 1-2 top class players. We got enough youngsters and older experience players to help them, now we need 1-2 world class proven player. You forgot the BPL deal? And shit load of other sponsors which we just signed up recently. And Asia tour soon which will fed us millions of £$. Like I said we only need 1-2 and yes striker and a CDM.

Perhaps Cavani doesn't want to come here. Perhaps Roman thinks, 100 million for cavani over 5 years is too much. He is an amazing player and if we get him then great, but we can't expect to just buy the biggest name we can every time.

I know we can't but the think is this time we actually can and we are about to blow our best chance of getting one of the best striker in the world away. The frustrate thing is we are nearly there, nearly but then the board just gave up when we just need to go that little extra mile. Another annoying this is we can actually afford him and his whole clause but we decide to bid up to 85% then give up when we only to make it 15% more.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

The only positive thing that will happen if this transfer fail to be completed is that we might sign a new player like Mata like when we missed out on Modric 2 years ago. Even then the chance is not big, 2nd option is unlikely to be better than 1st except in a few case.

[edenhazard17 281]

Any comments from his elder brother Walter Guglielmone, younger brother Christian Cavani, and his two sons Bautista and Lucas yet?

I'll bet one of them will mention Monaco or PSG.

Mean while this flop of a striker is still living in his dreamy world. Maybe if he got 5 years younger...

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

To be Perfectly honest I wont be pulling on my nuts and stamping my feet like some kids on here if torres stays. Ive never been his biggest fan but he undeniably improved last season, albeit his league goal ratio was very poor. If we brought in a top top striker as well as keeping torres and lukaku I could not complain and if torres buys into joses mentality theres every chance that could happen.

Edit, sorry that was a bit of a derail there
