DYC. 7,542 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 He was awful in the Olympics but i suppose that's just a sign of not wanting to be there. Just because Cavani is good in counter attacking situations doesn't mean that's all he can do. He's only really played for Napoli. He hasn't been tried in different formulas has he? He's a goal scorer and he will always score at a reasonable rate imo. We need him. As much as i want to see Torres succeed, we can't rely on him at all. There has been nothing, since he came here that suggests he will score 20 goals a season.The same was said about Sheva and Torres. And that's why I said the club better be sure he will be able to adapt for this kind of money. You don't make buys based on assumptions or to hope for the best.

Pizy 18,994 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 We should go after Damiao instead to continue with the Brazilian Invasion theme.Stealing another Spuds target would be hilarious, but I'm not completely sold on Damiao. Looks more a product of the quality he has around him with Brazil than someone who carries the load in the prem. He's the type of inexpensive, above average player Spuds need.

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Fixed.Agree with your previous post, it's either "Torres to start" or "Sell Torres".Why? if Torres wants to be number 1 forward, he earns that right. Like Didier did, like Hasselbaink did, like Flo did and the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRiver 1,512 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I don't want Cavani, I prefer Torres over him and I'm still confident that he can succeed at this club and that next season will be his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 What gives him that right, exacly?No player is bigger than the clubWhat i meant is Drogba had to earn that right to be called number 1 forward with performances on the pitch.His first season he had to compete with Gudjohnsen, then Crespo in his second season, then the big money signing of Sheva in his 3rd. He relished the competition and showed on the pitch why he deserved to be number 1.Hasselbaink needed 2 season's off stellar displays and lots of goals before he was regarded as number 1 forward.The fact is those 2 relished the competition and earned the right to be called number 1 forward by performing like a number 1 forward.Torres has been getting called number 1 forward due to his name only and it makes me sick, if he wants to be number 1 forward, he earns that title by displays on the pitch like Didier and Jimmy before him and if that means competing with Cavani then he does it, we paid £100m for him (contract and transfer), he owes us not the other way round.

OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Seriously hope these 35 million price tags are utter bullshit or Napoli can get to fuck. Good player, don't like him that much, not worth 35 million. Seemples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poojam 10 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 if we do lose and torres plays shit i think that is a big warning that we badly needs a striker before the season starts. i hope we win it will be good for the new players just here a few weeks and they wins a trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 A fact that many seem to overlook. If Torres was playing for Napoli he'd score a hatful of goals as well.That is not a fact at all. That is only a hypothetical situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I would much rather Llorente, as reports in Spain suggest he's told Bilbao he's not signing a new contract and wants to leave. As he only has a year left on his contract, it's likely he'll be available for around £15m and is looking for his £40k wages to be doubled which seems pretty fair.I think Llorente would be a better fit as a Drogba replacement also than Cavani would.
