Don’t think we’ll ever know the true details of agent payments, it’s not a big money signing though.
I'm sorry to say it but your cards are shit, mate. And your attempts at changing what was said to suit your narrative are extremely weak.
I thought that about Bruno too, he must be shit as no one else was in for him
I agree with this
Get out of here with that sense ffs
I get you!! with his time out of football and everything, it's going to take a few months to get back to some sort of fitness. If he was part of a plan, surely he'd have been here before due to that.
Fair enough, peg
Cavani was a good striker in his prime not saying otherwise, but he's passed it and now potentially moving to a much tougher league. Look I hope you're right and he absolutely smashes it here. I simply don't see it sorry. He'll end up on the bench enjoying his retirement money for two years, more likely 3 because you know we will offer him an extension.
No one who signs on a "free" is ever initially free as there's always a signing on fee or agents fee, but I would take the size of the agents fee reported with a pitch of salt. Theres a vested interest by reporters to make the deal look as outlandish as possible especially as we approach deadline, I would wait until its confirmed first.
Explains why he wasn't signed by others by now.
He also says he’s a certain for 2022 World Cup
I never said he will "smash it" but as for not "suiting our style" he can play along the front 3 and is a good option to have coming off the bench as opposed to Ighalo, who is pretty limited and not been up to standard bar a few early games
Short on talent apparently.
I made the comparison to Rooney because you referenced Cavani's record. He was a top striker a few years ago. Doesn't mean he is anywhere near that now.
great, so we just build up his conditioning, does nothing for a year and then goes and sits on the bench at the world cup. 10 million and 200k a week to condition someone for their national team bench.
Bit like us
Cavani is a Woodward signing, not Ole signing, regardless of whether he does well or not.
when will he be a beast? he's so unfit he can't even make a world cup qualifier bench.
I don’t even know what this means.great, so we just build up his conditioning, does nothing for a year and then goes and sits on the bench at the world cup. 10 million and 200k a week to condition someone for their national team bench.
He also made cryptic message about retiring, and his past season looked like he's in that mood.
We need someone on the bench I agree and if Cavani is the only one we can get, fine. I just don't agree that this is a good signing. It's a panic buy and nothing else.

How do you know he isn’t one of Ole’s targets?
Let's sign Wesley SneijderYears actually
Seeing his national manager mention how bad his condition is. Him breaking down altogether and us never seeing him fully fit are a possible worst case scenario. Best case scenario he's not fully fit for a few months at least. Shades of Falcao all over again.
i'm sorry it's so cryptic for you.
10 million was the agent fee. The rumour is around 200k per week for Cavani personal terms.
If Cavani was a target and a free agent, then it makes sense we would have moved in earlier and sealed the deal. We wouldn't let him be available for so long in the window and go for him on the last day.
