Then a year later, we bring in a similar but declining player in Cavani, who is SIX years older than Lukaku . All this tells me is that the reasons for getting rid of Lukaku now do not make sense other than to raise funds. And before anyone says Lukaku was pushing to leave, that was because he was being told he was not wanted. If you were told by your boss you are not wanted, you would be looking for another job. The same reason Di Maria left.
Not only that, when Lukaku left, we were told nobody was coming in because we wanted to develop those we already had, like Greenwood. So once again, if that is correct, why go for Cavani, unless it is being seen as a 'name' player to appease those of us who are furious at the Sancho mess. There is no logic here.
This signing alone underlines that the people at the top are not in sync with our football management. Some might say it adds more weight to the idea we need a director of football. What it does show is that we just need a clear direction and vision, and a competency to do deals in the market, like it seems all our rivals above and below us seem to achieve.
As much as we all want Cavani to succeed, he is here because we are the mugs that were willing to pay the wages having been punted around all the top clubs.
