Cavani is not respected enough around here
- Thread starter VidaRed
- Start date
He has been a big disappointment this year and i think the momentum he was building as a utd player last season has been hindered by the arrival of CR7.
This year he seems to be injured...right up to the week before international games, makes a cameo sub appareance then toddles off on International duty, then comes back late and with another niggle... his mind is elsewhere, his body is elsewhere.

His cost per game must be astronomical.
You still need some match fitness, even off the bench. Why wouldn't he play ? Just because United stupidly agreed to pay that much, doesn't mean he has to put his Uruguay love on hold.
He's not far off in his prediction tbf. Maybe a couple of sub appearances in the last few games but wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't recover before the end of the season.
how about cost per minute?
I know he has been lauded for his professional attitude...and it’s difficult to find anything but admiration for the guy from managers etc. However, can’t help but feel he thought to himself - fuk you guys, you want Ronaldo back while I have committed to stay - benching me and taking my shirt - I’m gonna collect your cash and spend my time caressing my goatee in the wilderness.
The problem is he has been fit plenty of times and refused to play because he didn't feel up for it but then he's always up for it in those international breaks. He has probably never been treated better by any other fans.
It doesn't matter anyway, he isn't good enough anymore for United or even Uruguay.
If we were actually competing then signing such players might make sense. As it is they're just after the last big paycheck, why would they care to put the extra effort in?
This season has been incredibly disappointing, and may threaten to tarnish the overall image he created during his time with us. It’s unfortunate things haven’t worked out well, as I really admire him as a player and person. When looking back at his time here, I’ll choose to remember his performances of the previous season, and I think most supporters will do the same in the long-run. It was wonderful to have an actual CF that is a master of his craft, and always gave 100%
This season it just seems apparent that his priorities are with the national team, and can you really blame him for that? We signed Ronaldo, thereby diminishing his role, and he’s approaching what will likely be his last World Cup. I still say good luck to him and wish him well.

He's undoubtedly an excellent player and has had some good games for us but now the noises suggest he doesn't really want to be here. What is he doing playing an international friendly? He's just been injured for christ sake. It's turning into another mess of a transfer unfortunately... he had the potential to be a **** hero here.
He could be on the bench Saturday for all we know
4m signing on fee + about 200k a week in wages - almost 20m for 56 apppearances most of them as a sub, but approx. 3000 minutes overall and 19 goals.
He did ok last season, but all in all that hardly represents value for money.

Could very well be, but judging by his fitness levels this season, I'm going to predict appearances will be limited. Maybe non-existent, happy to be proven wrong.
250k/wk.
If he didn't want to stay, he wouldn't have stayed.
As for us, we had no idea we'd be signing Ronaldo at the time.
The real sin was the trasnfer window of summer 2020. We shouldn't have put ourselves in a situtation that made us desperate for signings, even if it's an ageing, injury-prone, striker. The warning signs were all there.
10 games left and going off his history you wouldn't bet against it, oh and the numbers are 6,14,22,28,41,46

Part time player on Balon Dor wages. Waste of space
Not surprising at all! Just checked the weather forecast and it’s raining most of April in Manchester.
Zlatan had enough self respect that he terminated his contract with us and went to LA Galaxy when he thought he won't give his 100% due to ACL injury.
I like Cavani but he's starting look like a fraud.

time for a thread title change
You can't get more part timers in this club even if you tried.
What an absolute waste off space this guy is.
No real loss, he hasn't actually done much since he's been here.
Classic Glazer signing. Very popular, ultra high wage, no evidence of being part of a cohesive plan, rushed on the last day of the window.
Absolute waste of space. Sick of these freeloaders coming to Old Trafford to retire. We need to start putting 'availability for games' into the contracts of any more end of careerers.
Passenger
Fecking hell, absolute joke 
And the €10m agent fee to sign him
We're paying the dude comfortably more than Kane, Salah, Son, VVD etc. He is one of the highest-paid players in the league.
Ralf said likely out for 4 weeks.
United should just put him out of his misery and shoot him. The horse known as Cavani is of no further use to us.

Shocked, shocked I say.
Cavani is respected way too much by the fans in Old Trafford. To listen to the reception he gets you’d think he was fecking George Best.
They’re a sucker for big names deigning to play for us, regardless of their actual performances or even basic reliability.

We should change the thread title to 'Cavani is not injected enough around here'.
Imagine training sessions at the moment for the United goalkeepers. “Ok boys, let’s smash some balls past David please”, Elanga runs up and has a decent pop, Rashford blasts one into Elanga’s legs, Lingard’s on his phone, Ronaldo’s in the gym. “Right lads, same time tomorrow”.
I love Cavani but what a massive disappointment he has been. His spell here has withered out to nothing.
Next Season can't come soon enough.Long past time for the new era to begin.
Falcao, Zlatan, Cavani, Ronaldo - Can we just sign a good young striker please. This has to stop signing players at the end of their careers. You won't win the league with them.
