Edinson Cavani

[SamuelCFC 75]

Perhaps a bit too much, just below the 50 million pound mark. Hopefully he can solve our striking problems, hopefully we can still bring in the likes of De Rossi, Varane, ect.

People think top players care about pointless stuff we (fans) do...

If the things are 'pointless' why do we care about them? The fact that we care makes it pretty much the opposite of pointless.

Why only 'top players'? What makes a top player? Why are you suggesting just top players wouldn't care about these things?

Do Cavani and Messi magically not care about the same things as us because they have 'top' status, whereas players who aren't top players yet like Lukaku or Charlie Adam (who'll never be a top player) do care?

Lampard is, always has been and probably always will be a 'top player'. But I guess since he's a top player he doesn't care about the things us fans do such as support, loyalty, playing under an incredible manager and being at a club competitive on all levels. :lol2:

Cavani would only destroy the career of Lukaku at Chelsea.He won´t win a fight against Cavani,because Cavani has much more experience on his side. I think that Lukaku will leave us after 2 years or so,because he has no reason to be here .The club does not trust him,even after his successful loan spell at WBA and I don´t think that a player like Lukaku would sit on the bench.Sad

If we care about Lukakus future so much the best option should be Ibra. He only has a few years left at top level and in order to get the best out of him through out the whole season you have to give him rest, which would give Lukaku much play time.

I don't care if Lukaku doesn't want Cavani here or not or whether it limits his chances or not. You don't play a striker because he was in a Youtube video visiting Stamford Bridge. You play the better player in a particular position.

It's not like he came through our youth system or anything. There's plenty of Chelsea-supporting players out there even arguably more talented than Lukaku. Dzagoev for example. But we shouldn't buy him then bench Mata for him because he supports us.

I want to win trophies. In my mind, there's more chance of winning these trophies with Cavani leading our line than there is with Lukaku currently.

He only turned 20 a month ago anyway. It's not like we're trying to sign Cavani while Lukaku is in the peak of his career.

Drogba has fought off the likes of Crespo, Shevchenko, Torres, Anelka; every single striker at this club while he was present. If Lukaku is the 'next Drogba' as so many claim why can't he do the same?

Mourinho is a fair guy. The better player or whoever impresses most in training will play. So it's up to the players to show their worth.

If Cavani has a bad spell Lukaku will be put into the team as he's the other option. It's then up to him to stay there. Cavani won't just magically be slotted back in after a dry spell because he's Cavani. Mourinho has never worked like that. You earn your spot in a Mourinho team regardless of your transfer fee. Just ask Kaka, Pepe, Coentrao, Modric.

calm down! Cavani wont play every minute of every game! Lukaku will be 2nd choice next season and will get plenty of minutes to play, certainly a lot lot more than his first spell at the club. Lukaku isnt stupid he knows he isnt ready to be our 1st choice yet but he knows that if he continues his progression that he will get a heck of a lot of minutes under Mourinho.

It smells alot like the Hulk deal did, last summer!

[jmarlow 458]

Anybody reliable know of this??

Most reliable source is Chris Cohen's source, he was spot on with Mata, Mourinho and RvP, if he is saying its a done deal then thats good enough for me.

Not Really...

There is a Confirmation From Chris...

57m is a huge sum. Just last season we made a little profit. We are going to spend more money on other players. I love Cavani and will be the happiest person if he ends of at CFC than City. But We have to work hell lot to cover the hole we are making this season.

and that's considering this is a transition season. The team might be ready and win important competitions, or maybe it'll just take the whole season to finally find chemistry and start living up its potential.

I don't want to have too many expectations about it. Especially if the team changes too much
