How about someone good that we bought instead of this zimmer frame?
Obviously there are few options if you won't spend. That's kind of the problem.
Edinson Cavani - SIGNED for United
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date

Basically, he'll definitely be earning less than players Kane, Salah, Aguero, and Aubameyang whilst earning more than players like Mane, Vardy. His salary could potentially equal that of Roberto Firmino at Liverpool.
It is a good deal and I'm also happy with it. Adds some much needed experience and quality to our attack.
Probably different budgets.
Some do really take the panic and moaning to the extreme.
Of course It’s a risk. but it’s not like Sanchez. If it’s a one year deal, then the financial stakes are incredibly different to the commitment we had on Sanchez.
whether he perform or not, we will obviously have to wait and see. However, to say there’s “very little” chance of it paying off is wrong in my opinion.
That's tragic mate, I'm sure Cavani will fill the void though and make you very happy.
For someone who is such a Lukaku hater, it's so weird to see you fanboying over a player like this. You'd be smart to put your bets elsewhere.
How do you know he’s not happy to rotate. Your just making that up.
The whole point of my post is that the others are not good enough in that position.
I am not saying to sign Cavani but we need a good striker.
heard his agent also negotiated Martial’s dogs as part of the deal.
As a real power move he should nick Tony’s giant sports direct mug. Just be sat there in the Carrington caf on Monday drinking tea out of it and staring Tony down unblinkingly as he walks in.
Basically he's an upgrade to Ighalo who have been underwhelming recent games and only here till Jan. Hopefully Cavani will only be here maximum of 2 years. If it's 3 years then I won't feel surprise.. typical of the club.
Could also meant we're going to play Martial at LW at some point since he and Rashford are the only two that can play there. James have become rubbish.
RW is still a glaring issue.. but I suppose Mata's recent form may be enough just as cover.
CF: Martial, Cavani
LW: Rashford (Martial, VDB)
RW: Greenwood, Mata

Are McTominay or Fred good enough? Is Williams good enough? Are Dalot, TFM good enough?
Of all the positions to strengthen, we make the most moronic decision as usual. Banter FC, back again!
Jones, Rojo and Romero won't be registered if Smalling stays and we get Telles, Sancho and Cavani.
Well put, fully agree. Just more evidence that we're poorly ran as a club.
The fact that there are fans who still need more evidence is insulting to human intelligence.
You will see soon enough.
Cavani has rivalry with every player that takes his gametime, and his preferred position. Think he's better than he's really is symdrome.
Happened with Zlatan, Icardi, even Neymar.
Zlatan hates Cavani and has the pick a side relationship with him.

That was months ago as an insurance option. We still had the Europa and Premier League restart to play.
McT and Fred did very well last year when we needed them, so did Williams tbf.Are McTominay or Fred good enough? Is Williams good enough? Are Dalot, TFM good enough?

Doubt you’ll get too many saying the other two are good enough, hence why we’re trying to move them on.
People are unhappy because we haven't completed Sancho and Telles yet. If this was announced after Telles and Sancho, people would be very happy. Even if this was announced after Telles, there wouldn't be this much criticism.
I hope a good portion of any related wage is performance related. Plus we were always reported to be looking for a striker to replace Ighalo. We just weren't linked to anyone until this last week. I also hope that his previous deals falling through this window means we've gotten a good deal wage wise with him.
I’d rather see it with my own eyes than believe rumours
So McTominay, Fred and Williams is good enough cover, but Rashford, Greenwood and Ighalo (all can play as striker, along with Martial) isn't?
Zlatan is guilty of being a massive cnut at times though.
I know. And nobody took him up, which tells us how desperate we are.
The issue is that his wages are high and he is in the twilight of his career, with PSG not using him much over the last 2 seasons.
I can only assume that those who are happy with this signing don't realise this.
Guess this means Greenwood won't play striker this season.
Or maybe he just reduced his demands a fair bit.
That's what I'm hoping. He's had deals fail so his demands should have fallen.
Thats less than I was fearing. Was expecting £250-£300k basic. If they pay him an extra £20k a goal and he scores 25+ in the premier, then thats money well spent.
It seems fairly apparent that we wouldn't need to do this if we had landed Sancho. So giving up on that is the thing that has changed.
I will keep saying this till I'm red in the face. Ed likes young players with big resale or old players on a free. That's why we end up with a weird looking squad.
It is a 12 month contract, with an option for a 2nd. The guy is only 33 and is a proven goal scorer. I really do not see the issue.
People just want to grasp at any positives out there, it makes them still have belief that we can do something meaningful this season.
Yeah, but lets make the deal look as worst as possible so I can moan.
It depends what people's opinions at the club are on some of the strikers in the academy. Martial is clearly our first choice, we need a suitable back up, but do you buy someone who'll take up minutes in the future for someone's path to the first team? It speculation on my part, but you also don't know the thought process behind it either. I'd think a 2 year deal means they have an idea for someone at the club or in the near future they'll go for in the strikers role. We also don't know who the first choice was for this role, I'm sure there was someone before Cavani.
Larsson 2.0
The club aren't going to let 200k+/week of players be unregistered and they're certainly not going to want to pay off the contracts.
Nah, Bruno, Pogba, Rashford all cannot cross.
Someone give this guy a red pill?
I think he will score goals for us but does that mean we’re not getting Sancho?
I doubt we will sign Sancho or Telles if we waste time to get this done over prioritising those two deals.
Its an awful signing IMO if it happens. I’d rather get no one and sign a striker in January. Questionable fitness, not the most mobile so doesn't fit our pressing game. Two year contract, probably pretty large wages. Not PL proven. Most likely to not hit a barn door like these ‘amazing’ Other strikers That looked good on the continent To Arrive in PL like Higuain, Pato, Falcao, Soldado etc. Past it Fat cat after a last payday IMO.
I hope i am totally wrong and he bangs in a shitload of goals But i am 95% sure he will
Prove to be what i wrote above.
Time will tell
