Edinson Cavani

Nobody, and i mean, nobody is worth that amount of money. C.Ronaldo was 80 mill, all that got was the copa del rey and a league title in 3 seasons, does 80 mill justify that?

Yes Ronaldo clearly worth it, because of the impact he has had for the team.

The money they have recouped from shirt sales and marketing with C.Ronaldo makes it incredibly worth it.

Also millions and millions is shirt/merchandise sales, sponsership and advertising for the team, as well as attracting other talented footballers to come. So Yes it probably was worth it.

I don't think we need Cavani, i would give chance to Sturridge/Lukaku instead of paying loads of money, and wages, etc...Moreover, Torres has to feel that he's the number one up front. What if Torres starts the first 2-3 PL matches with no goals, and then Cavani comes and hits 2 in the next match. El Nino's remaining confidence would gone forever...Class is permanent, in Torres I trust!

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Like I said, excuses excuses and more excuses.

When he first came I criticized him and people where like, "he came half way season give him till next season till he gets a pre under his belt"....

Fair enough, pre-season came and he still sucked ass, and people where saying to wait till December to judge him....

Fair enough, December came and he still sucked ass.

Now we get more exotic excuses fill with hope and dreams, and things like Give the guy a break......

i dont think is required.

we have three central strikers and practically 3 second strikers too (cams what have you in mata, hazard and piazon)

we have a great amount of talent in the team. let's fix the right back issue and get oscar and finish the window.

Your telling me you'd rather have Torres scoring nothing in 2-3 games than cavani scoring twice in one game just to preserve Torres' confidence?

Apparently we are Torres FC.

As we can talk trash about other crappy players like Kalou, Bosingwa, Hilario, Turnbull and such. But when it comes to Torres we are haters.....

I fully agree with Justin in this case.

This time last year excuses for Torres were valid, not settled in London yet, lack of service, not had a proper break for 3 years, getting use to new team mates and yet to have a full pre season here.

Yes they were valid excuses at the time, all of those excuses were wiped out last summer yes including the service excuse, the second Mata came through the door that was the case.

The fact is he has not had one game yet where we can look back and say, that is what we spent £50m for, if we spent the same amount on Cavani he will probably be leading Torres in that respect after 3 games, at worse.

The excuses made for Nando are quite frankly terrifying, ive was scouring through other forum's today and some Chelsea fans (ie members of the OTT Torres fanclub) were as good as protesting against Cavani coming here, a couple of people resorted to calling him Crapani :doh: i genuinely could not believe my eyes.

The bottom line is for most of his Chelsea career to date, Torres has been absolute shit, has made Kalou look like Messi most of the time.

How did you come to the conclusion that someone not wanting Cavani or calling him 'Crapani' means he's a Torres fanboy/girl?

i for the record never made case of lack of service or a fanboy of torres (im studge fanboy.)

i honestly dont care if we get cavani all i say is if he comes torres MUST be sold. becuz i cant stand people that fantasize over-kill, manager-mode fifa like lineups. there is no case in a 4231 that anyonr can make for both strikers to be here. so whatever happens fine, but one striker max!

Because most of their reasoning behind not wanting Cavani and calling him "Crapani" amoungst other things was Torres 'might' come good.

We won't stick to 4-2-3-1 all season long, not if we want to get anywhere, yes we will start playing that way, but eventually teams will start to suss us so we will have to change, the system RDM decides to change too could require 2 forwards, which is where a Cavani and Torres partnership will come in, dont rule Danny out of that equation either.

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Squad depth???

Well anyhow the club are looking for another CF, if reports are true that Dortmund turn down a bid for Lewandosky.

With Lukaku going on a loan...and most likely he will need to develop somewhere else for about 2 seasons or so, another CF is really needed.

I think with Hulk we kill 2 birds with one stone, but if it can't be done, it can't be done and we will go for someone else like Cavani and such.

we stuck with 433 and won 3 EPL titles!! how could u posibly use that argument, a span of 7 years and different managers and we still won. apart from ocassional 41212 we have had 433 all the way.

but also discoubt that, cavani played virtually every game for napoli, u think he's gona accept alternation role with torres? no way, 35mill pounds is for an everyday player, not someone to compete for place.

Very good point.

Which is why we have gone for 'lesser' targets after not sealing a Hulk deal, with the likes of Moses, Schurrle and recently Lewandosky.
