Edinson Cavani

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

It's called a RELEASE clause for a reason. If 63m euros is paid to Napoli the bid must be accepted. Any clauses to Palermo, Danubio or taxes are then negotiated by Napoli, not the fucking buying club. It's Napoli who agreed to the clauses no one else.

How can the president say his release clause is 63m euros then some guy on here says it's 70m lol fucking unreal, literally saying the guy who runs Napoli is lying, madness

I bet they regret not going harder after FaLcao.

I hope this is true

Chelsea have told Napoli to forget about getting the £53.5million release clause for Edinson Cavani, as they will go no higher than £40million.

I know this is fake, but it is the answer I would aspect from our club!

While I sympathize with the idea of avoiding these huge signings, if the market values Falcao at 60m, Cavani must be worth at the least the same. The market is inflated by the new rich clubs, so the purchasing power of Chelsea has to be lower when considering the context. The problem is that we don't have many players that can be sold or traded; and we don't wan't to sell the ones who are wanted.

At this level it is difficult to sign players who would be ready to join the starting XI and provide an edge, such as Cavani. Instead, we could either go for a bet, a younger player, or perhaps an established player who's been under a bad spell. However, to get the absolutely top that means splashing the cash as it should be.

The Market clearly does not value Cavani at 60 mill. That is simply his buyout clause, usually inserted to prevent player poaching and safeguarding from losing your players on the cheap.

The market values him differently.

Isn't 60m about what Monaco payed for Falcao?

Not sure, but they have to pay heavily inflated transfer fees and salaries to even get players....

They pretty much paid that sum to get a star name in so they can attract more players towards their project.

We bought shaun wright phillips for 25 mill in 2004 or so and in todays value that must be like 30-35 mill. That wasnt his market value but the value we were willing to pay in order to get another player for our project.

Cavani is certainly worth alot, but 60 million is simply not good business.

that's exactly my point... if Monaco, or another new rich, ends up splashing cash for players, that inflates the market. The reasons of why Monaco has to pay more is not that important because the effect on the market will be the same.

What we *think * the value ought to be is irrelevant. What is important is what clubs are willing to pay. So, by the end of the transfer window we will know for sure the market's valuation of Cavani.

Not "worth it"?

In my honest opinion no football player is worth the salary they are getting, the numbers are absurd. But that is the way it is. And in that sense, Cavani is definatley worth £50m.

If we want to pay that kind of money is another discussion. Just because we/some people here are unwilling to pay that (as if they run the economics of the club) that doesnt mean the player is worth less.

Football needs a transfer & salary cap to avoid shit like this happening.

Cavani is immense and easily my favourite striker for all his skill, technique and style attributes but this saga has exceeded past the ridiculous. Money shouldn't be an issue to any Chelsea fan and since when did everyone turn into cautious money caring moaners anyways. If Roman wants to spend money then what the fuck does it matter to you? Nobody ever had a problem with it before and don't even start to mention that Torres shyte because he was fucked before we brought him and that was obvious. Cavani is far from fuckdd and worth every penny the current transfer market values him at. That all being said this has become boring oh so quickly. I blame twitter for most of it and the gullable imbociles who hang off every tweet that mentiones Cavani and Chelsea in the same sentance.
