Edinson Cavani

[Zinedine Iniesco 172]

Also, let me drop something about good old gonzalo higuain in this thread.

I think that 58 million euros for example for someone like cavani is a disgrace.

Im not in total control of the numbers of chelsea and how much the money for cavani would impede the introduction of other players but...

If i had to build a team, i wouldnt take cavani. Too expensive.

Higuain was never given the right spot to shine in madrid considering Benzema and him exchanged, and ronaldo was the focal point.

But his whole game would be more than enough to reach the same numbers as cavani at the very least from what ive seen.

Benzema reached better numbers in 11/12 than cavani did in 12/13.

Stats arent everything, and cavani has alot of great assets, but if i were to build a team and buy a few midfielders and a striker, id maybe take higuain instead.

Too bad higuain doesnt come from a similar season, or else i think hed be under more consideration.

In a well built team, where he has a good leading presense, him and a good enough fernando torres would be more than enough imo.

Sorry, man Higuain is garbage. It's very funny watching Madrid fans try to convince themselves Higuain is great so that they believe they'll get a good price for him all the while being exultant that he is going to be replaced by a much better player.

Imagine Mata, Oscar, Lamps are out, we face a big fish in the CL and simply decide to sit back and field a

Defense

---------David Luiz------

----Ramires----KDB

Hazard--Cavani--Schürrle

lineup. The counter-attacking prowess of that team can bury any opponent as soon as they lose the ball. David Luiz can make one of his mega aggressive tackles to hand us the ball when we have no right to get. KDB and Ramires can easily break through the midfield, Hazard and Schürrle will race to give Cavani a tap in. lol. KDB over Mikel, Oscar and Mata in a big game. Talk about new signing hype. As things stand right now, Kdb and Shurluer will not start over anyone we currently have. Maybe Schuler at RW

Lol, I found this topic more interesting than the transfer rumour itself.

One: Higuain isnt garbage.

Two: Dont Generalize or else you cant be taken seriously

Three: If you mean benzema ( Perez and Zidane have made it clear Benzema and Morata will be our 2 strikers, any rumors of suarez or cavani are false, no one else is joining) He did well in 11/12 but he still has stuff to prove, and has to do even better, if he does badly this season, he is out imo, maybe for suarez despite his attitude and image problems.

If you want to generalize, if u made a poll, benzema would win over higuain anyways in the eyes of madrid fans.

My point is that if you give higuain a chance im sure he could do very well. If cavani is better, hes not nearly 40 millions better lol.

A good team around him, and higuain can flourish well imo.

Thats all im saying here, if u want to talk more about higuain reply to me in the higuain thread.

Sigh. I'm sick of reading about how every other striker not named Cavani or Lewandowski is "not good enough" for Chelsea. It would be very nice if one of those players join, but if it's not possible the club has to look at other options. And there are quite a few good strikers out there - it's not just about the name and how much they cost, it's all about production and if they can improve the team.

Man utd signed Chicarito from nowhere and he's easily one of the best strikers in the premier league. Bayern won the treble with Mandzukic and his sexy tap-ins etc etc.

I don't get it either, but I can understand it when people say 50 million is too big an amount to pay. The Italian club looks like its inflating his transfer value to maximize their profits,...even the player himself has admitted he's not worth that much.

This. Haven't we learned nothing of the Torres buy? You don't have to spend that much money on one player; it is uncertain that he will produce, and you can buy a really good striker for about 33% of those asking prices.

[Shane 2,275]

Have a feeling he'll go to Madrid before the end of next week to be honest.

[Zinedine Iniesco 172]

I think i already said this earlier, Cavani is not joining Madrid.

Madrid arent after strikers.

Cavani to chelsea as far as im concerned will happen.

[Billy. 2,742]

Fuck this guy we got Lukaku

Heavily linked with Lewandoski and Cavani, also with Higuain leaving they'll need someone to compete or be back up to Benzema.

Doubt they would spend £40-£50m on a back up. If Suarez/Cavani come, Benzema will be the back up/rotated striker

[Shane 2,275]

Thats what I meant. They'll sign a striker, either Suarez/Cavani/Lewandoski, and they'll compete with Benzema, more then likely they'll start because Benzema was poor for alot of last season.

As far as you were concerned Real Madrid weren't going to get rid of Nuri Sahin and weren't after Modric to replace him. How did that work out exactly?

Punto Pelota, your "reliable" source for the Cavani news claimed for months that Falcao to Chelsea was a done deal. Enough said.

Alberti: "I have to repeat myself: Cavani will go to Chelsea" http://www.

Who's Alberti?

[Zinedine Iniesco 172]

@ Jype Different type of source origination, so you have no substantial argument there.

Specially when no source even El Confidencial ever always get their stuff right.

Also the Rumor it self doesnt contain specifications that i find to be far from the reality as i predict thats how much will be paid.

REAL MADRID ARE NOT AFTER STRIKERS.

Benzema will be given a chance to start in Real Madrid.

Zidane as second coach along with ancelotti will both work to try to help benzema get back on form and even further.

Fly Emirates and Zidane have both had influential parts in this.

Also Perez has clearly stated in a recent interviews that you cant have two people of near quality competing like Higuain and Benzema.

Albeit not always true i think we all understand their point.

Alvaro Morata has been doing very good and he won Euro 21 golden boot, its been all over the media, specially El Confidencial that Real Madrid will give both Jese and Morata opportunities.

And it is widely seen and interpreted this way by all spanish media. Thats why punto pelota didnt even mention Cavani to madrid today in any way.

Enough said? Those were hypothesis of mine, that you probably took out of context as well.

I felt nuri had what it took to stay here but Mourinho thought other wise, and clearly it was a mistake from him to aquire Nuri because as he figured out, coupled with his injury, Nuri didnt have the defensive abilities needed to play with khedira specially while injured. With alonso exausted from playing almost every game, and also getting older, i predicted he wouldnt have left, and it would have been the right thing still to this day, but it didnt happen. not my fault if you misunderstood my context, you should have asked if doubtful. Now Nuri is probably not going to come back because i predict that he could be used in the deal for gundogan(next season), which i do believe is true because of El Confidencial's coverage of it, among others.

Surprises me you go back to remember things that serve as irrelevant, you have literally pointed out nothing real, uve made a mistake. Thats all im saying in the cavani thread to this. PM if you have questions.

Oh and also, i never implied Punto Pelota was reliable under the context you are trying to paint, you misundertsood my statement about Daily Star apparently.

As far as im concerned Daily Star is mostly tabloid and i would never trust them over a plethora of more historically reliable sources.

Or common sense because if chelsea are really after cavani, they know 40 million is asinine.

Oh and Shane, Lewandowski is not linked with Madrid either, he will join bayern as that is his preference. next season that is.

[Las7 951]

I'd prefer spending 50 million on Cavani than 30 million on Looney

Anyway I'd want to see Lukaku as first choice if we can't secure Cavani/Lewa and sign someone like Remy/Bentake to rotate with him and Ba
