Edinson Cavani

[Leif 6,006]

PSG are fucked. They have so much money, yes, but it was Leonardo doing all this incredible stuff for the club. He had a hand in transfers, marketing, communications; everything. He was the glue which held so much potential chaos together.

The reason for him leaving however is because he got a year-long ban for THIS:

A year-long ban for that?

[nyikolajevics 2,422]

I'm reading it's official. It could mean he failed on a big signing?

I don't think so. They still have the money. If PSG and Napoli agreed the fee(according to rumours) nothing depends on Leonardo.

Even if Leonardo did a great work PSG have the money to replace him with great professional.

Along with the guys over at Juventus I thought Leonardo was probably one of the best Sporting Directors currently in football. Players aren't stupid and they know about Sporting Directors at clubs and with him gone some of the attraction of signing for PSG is also gone with that, especially considering Thiago Silva is now likely to leave next season.

Anyone else thinking this Cavani deal might not happen all of a sudden for some unfathomable reason?

You aren't the only one hoping for that.

Nah it's too late, this was probably Leonardo's goodbye gift. I bet Cavani will be unveiled in the next few hours to right this wrong.

Yes, any physical form of violent behavior towards the referee (in this case bumping into him on purpose) ,no matter how small, must be punished severely.

What if he was tripped and hit his head on the ref? Does that count as an headbutt assault?

That depends, did the referee insult his sister ?

#PSG Sporting Director Leonardo submitted his 'resignation' earlier today, as expected

@ChelsTransfer on Jul 7

Various reports in France suggest that Cavani maybe a 'parting' gift by #PSG Sporting Director Leonardo to fans following his 13-month ban.

Maybe Jose just doesnt want to pay a huge fee for a world class striker, maybe he believes in Lukaku.

[iceboy 992]
