Edinson Cavani

[Atwa 78]

Sign him and it's goodbye Torres, Sturridge and possible Lukaka... Along with squad harmony.

We have already spent £75 million, how would you achieve FFP? What happens to the 25 man squad restriction and the HG rules?

Forget the CL and PL, we are not winning either, what we are doing is building a fantastic base for the next decade. (IMO)

Only one that might feel threatened enough to leave by Cavani coming would be Sturridge.. and that is a trade I would make any day.

Still, 2 strikers in the squad is not enough. Say Torres gets injured, then we have to play Sturridge and bring on makeshift Moses.

3 is bare minimum for a team i reckon.

Also Yossi, Malouda and Ferreira should probably leave.

[Ramox 246]

Out of that bunch how many actually played as a CF?

But it was option. And now, we have 2 option for the one of the most important role. Look for the other teams:

City: Balotelli, Tevez, Aguero, Dzeko(?)

United: Hernandez, RVP, Rooney, Berbatov(?), Welbeck

Arsenal: Podolski, Giroud, Bendtner(?), Park(?), Chamakh

We have a guy, who just shadow of his former self, and an other guy, who never proved his qualities on the striker posioton with US.

I didnt say we have to buy a worldclass striker, like Cavani, I just think, we need one more option.

So your wanting to spend £110 million in a transfer window with FFP coming into effect?

Guess I'm on my own in thinking we have been spoilt this transfer window. I'm more than happy with the squad just need to sell / off load:

Benayoun, Malouda, Ferriera, Kakuta, Meireles

[Pizy 18,852]

Don't know if I'm more worried about the "I'm happy with the squad" quote when we DO need another CF, or the fact that he said he doesn't see any more departures this summer.

That's Malouda, Ferreira, and Benayoun still wasting for even longer eating up wages.

If Torres gets injured/blows and Sturridge is the only option at CF, I can't see how we'll challenge for the title. Doesn't have to be someone as pricey as Cavani, but get SOMEONE.

They play two up front, we play one up front....

Kalou, Anelka, Sturridge and Lukaka started maybe 6 games combined as CF. Reality is we had two CF.... Three players for one spot is ridiculous IMO.

So if we have an injured striker, then reamin with ONE option. For me, this is what ridiculous.

OK fine, forget the number of strikers.. do you actually believe Sturridge and Torres are good enough?

I still think we should have 3, with Sturridge being both option for winger and CF. Though we need someone of Cavani's caliber.

Moses is here.

Seriously, fair enough if people want another back up striker, but Cavani is far from that. Illogical.

Using that logic we should have another left back, center half, RB etcetra...

If good forbid we have both strikers out Moses could back fill. Sure we could recall Lukaka and there is always the Janurrary transfer window.

Moses is not a striker.

Spain's number one striker in the euros along with a full England international? With a full Nigerian international in contingency?

Err yes, yes I do....

Precisely why we are signing Moses.With the service he'll have,I am sure the goals will flow.

[robsblubot 3,595]

Tricky,

if offload Meireles, then Chelse'd need to get another CM for sure.

Concerning CF, I actually thought Lukaku would be a perfect cover for Torres, considering Sturridge and Moses can also play some role in attack.

I suspect RDM consideres Mata cpable of covering in attack as well, which isn't crazy when I look at the way he plays (almost a FW).

Err yes, yes I do....

We have David Villa?

Seriously though, Torres is far from Spain's number one striker. He might have been at one point but he is so uneven these days.

Sturridge has yet to prove himself as CF for us since he mainly played winger, and quite questionably at that.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Moses is not a striker.

He's not naturally, but if worst gets to worst he can play there. He used to at Crystal Palace.

I'm glad the club isn't run by some on here, Cavani for £35m as a back up striker? Ludicrous.
