Edinson Cavani

Costa and Hernandez aren't just poachers.

I WANT CHICHARITOO! He'd be probably £9-12m or so and would be happy to play 20-25 games a year.

He is valued at 15-20 on Red Cafe

I thought he was unhappy there because he can barely get a game? He'd be in a similar situation here with Costa the undeniable first choice striker.

He'd get more minutes here than at United I'd think, but will he really trade one bench for another? Not to mention there's that little task of convincing United to sell a player to a direct rival. Unlike us selling Mata to them last season when they weren't a threat, they'd be selling Hernandez to a team they're hoping to compete with this coming season.

Hernandez' overall play is pretty poor though, in all honesty he is just a poacher. I would much rather buy Remy who's not only cheaper but a better all around player that can add more than just goals.

Wouldn't mind paying 20-22m for him ... it still is a bargain for a proven PL goal scorer ...

[1chelsea 864]

Benteke strong on the ball and hard working but his finishing is not as good as chicharito. but I take Ben anyway

No way i want him for that money way to overrated.

[coolhead23 1,146]

We need someone who can score ... Hernandez positional sense inside the box is up there plus he can score and being in the PL for some time now ... What more do we need? Not sure how he is overrated!

He has Rooney, RVP, and Welbeck in front of him at Man U. Here he'd just have Costa.

That's true, but they may not think he'll improve us that much.

It's really not that poor, he has his times where he's stupid, but he's pretty good, good oink up play, creates chances, play with his back to goal, for Mexico at least.

Solid striker and a good #2 option, i haven't seen much of Remy.

I would have really liked Benteke here but sadly he's injured. I've been really impressed with him he's like a perfect Jose type striker with good qualities and he's fairly young (23).

Yea.... He has technical ability on the ball, is strong, good finisher, good linkup play and his back to goal is excellent. I would love him as a second striker.

Cavani is better than Costa.

Cavani would not be behind costa.

Cavani managed 25 goals on a zlatan team.... That in itself is impressive.

Cavani is the perfect cf for chelsea....... JUst like drogba was prior.

Finally someone who is speaking sense Cavani>Costa no matter how you view it.

Costa is better for Chelsea. Cavani is slightly above average.

[Pizy 18,368]

Costa is better for Chelsea. I've barely watched Cavani play.

Fixed.

[iseah100 5,612]

Fixed.

I haven't. But what I have seen was less than impressive.

[Pizy 18,368]

All you have to do is watch footage of his Napoli days to see that he's a beast. He would be again in the right circumstances.

Even during the World Cup and for PSG when he isn't a prolific scorer he still works his ass off and is probably the only striker I've seen in recent times who covers so much of the pitch. He works like mad and is constantly running. Even saw him tracking all the way back in the LB position for Uruguay. He's got a similar work rate to Suarez.

Don't know if it'd be totally wise to splurge a load of money on him anymore since we have Costa but I wouldn't be disappointed if we did and I'd be delighted to have him. Perfect José player.

Costa is stronger, faster, better finisher, better dribbling skills, also younger, can play as winger and as second striker, great in linking up and assisting too. His brutal character and fighting spirit is also really important for this Chelsea.

Costa>Cavani

[The Skipper 20,593]

Cavani hasn't been performing at Napoli level for a while now... Can't see how anyone can say with confidence that Cavani > Costa now. Costa as of right now is the better striker IMO - maybe that'll change if Cavani went to a club where he'd be number 1 striker again but as of right now for me, Costa's better.
