petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'd wait until summer when Werner becomes available (confirmed by the Leipzig director, should Werner reject a contract extension). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 6, 2020 Popular Post! Share Posted January 6, 2020 33 in a month, but to me he has always looked like one of the fittest and most hard working centre forwards around, think he has still got at least this season and the next one at the very highest level. Would not mind this transfer to be fair. OneMoSalah, Stats, Vesper and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's happy to be a backup, then I think we can do a lot worse. Otherwise, it's tough to find someone with the desire to play week in week out in their 20s to be a backup.

Is Tammy untouchable regardless of performances on the pitch?If he isn't, I don't get this "back up" tag. Cavani isn't going to be the undisputed at a number of the clubs he's been linked with, so it would come down to some assurances. Perform when given the chance, be rewarded.

[emoji185]Who do you think the club should go after, or do you believe we ought to sit tight with Tammy/Michy till the summer & hope Werner turns everyone down for us (no idea about CL certainty)?

Atomiswave 6,118 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 He has always been quality, I wish we had him when he was younger. SUch a hard worker and lethal. He still has 1 year at top level if motivated im sure but not for freaking 50m, thats an ass pull right there. On a free or a low fee then he will do a decent job.

This month, I have no idea. Haven't watched some of the players we've been linked with enough to say for certain. And I don't think we'll risk going with just Abraham and Batshuayi for the rest of the season or at least, I hope not. Otherwise, we'll be seeing Pulisic up front as the False 9! The dream striker signing in the summer would obviously be Werner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of the best finishers in world football and is still capable of scoring 15-20 goals a season at least. Still think he is better than Icardi but he is younger than Cavani and benefits PSG more in the long run. Plus think what Tammy would be able to learn off somebody of his calibre and experience. Its totally different from a Higuain situation too (although if Higuain was fitter when we got him I do think he would of done a lot better because the movement was there). Atletico Madrid are after Cavani, he will do the business for them. I dont think we should be concerned about his age, he is one of the hardest working and looks after himself incredibly well, we talk about lacking top established players in and around this group, Cavani would be one, 32 or 33 or not. Hes won a lot, has scored a lot, wouldnt be a downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,953 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Why are people giving this flimsy rumor a second thought? We ain't signing Cavani, ffs. 😏 That time was about 6-7 years ago. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At most, he would rotate between them both. But again, its also easy to say he wouldnt just toss Abraham aside because he came in preaching about using young players and had done at Derby. For me if we had a better 10, CB and CF Id be surprised if Tomori, Tammy and Mason had made as many appearances as they have. Sure theyd still have played but I dont think they'd have played as often as they have already. If we had a top top striker, which is no disrespect to Tammy who has done incredibly well after a poor spell in the PL with Swansea a few years back, I dont think it would be as easy as saying theyd both be rotated evenly or whatever. Strikers like GKs and defences, are positions you dont often see rotated because they build key relationships and chemistry as well as give them a chance to maintain form (when Tammy wasnt scoring he was kept in and while Id imagine due to a lack of options was a reason why, Id say giving him the continuity and chances to play with the same players most week to build up chemistry was another). Midfielders and wide positions are changed more often in modern day football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,337 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I suggested Cavani a couple months ago because of the contract situation. He is in similar situation like Giroud. But because of the bigger reputation he has if we want to do business now in January we would still need to pay probably around 12-15m. For Olivier we can get 6-7m. Also Edison have much bigger salary. Year and a half contract I'm fine with it. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
