Edinson Cavani

Don't want him here, for this money we could have 3 great players... And the rumours about Hulk? Oh fuck me...

What players would you have wanted instead ?

Seems to me the stake of this summer for Chelsea is not quantity but quality. Bringing back the loanees already provides the depth that lacked during the season. All there's to do is to spot the key position that need improvement (ST, DM) and invest in top quality players there.

Spending 50m on Cavani won't prevent other two, three transfers more, and that's all that's needed.

@CarloFan: Times reporting that Chelsea had an initial £40m offer rejected for Cavani with Napoli refusing to sell for less than his buyout clause.

Hulk saga all over again I can feel it or he will join city.. Got a bad feeling!

We lacked in depth quality in the attacking mid

We just purely lacked depth and quality in attack. 1 striker only for european comps.

We lacked depth in the pivot, especially after Romeu got injured.

We had marin for example. But he never played so he may not have even been there tbh. We had lots of quality starting but generally had a very poor bench, especially when compared to city and utd.

I talk about quantity and qality.

Malouda, Benayoun, Marin, they didn't provide much. Only Moses was a serious alternative as attacking midfield.

Schurrle, KDB instead of Malouda, Benayoun, Marin is less players but much more depth in the squad

Chelsea offer 49.3m for Cavani.

Yep think this will go from very optimistic to fairly tenuous link overnight

@tancredipalmeri: Confirmed: Chelsea offered 50m for Cavani - not 58 - according to Sky Italy
