He's no Bilal Ilyas Jhandir
What a beautiful bastard
They're cnuts at PSG, they disrespected him whereas he's their all time scorer. He got inuured and Icardi showed some form, they used as an excuse with the contract situation to completely freeze him from ever playing.They announced they weren't renewing his contract but they did the same for Thiago Silva (I know he was more central to their plans) and they worked out something for him to stay on, I can't believe that Tuchel would rather have had to use Choupo-Moting in the semis and the final than Cavani but maybe that's wrong of me. The main thing for us is that he looks really sharp and motivated (which is the player I had always seen him as which is why I was concerned that maybe that had gone slightly) and a real asset to our team.
Greenwood can't be a proper CF until he masters those headers. All no. 9s do. Sometimes you get a quarter of chance you can only hit with your head.Yup.
Rashy/Tony - Cavani - Greenwood
Then Greenwood to take over from Cavani next season.
He has no equal in terms of movement, he puts himself at the end of chances that most top strikers won't.His movement and alertness in the box is incredible.
He’s 7 goals off (a third of the way there) and he’s only started just one game
I'll be delighted if im wrong, but lets not get ahead of ourselves hey. He's still a way off.
Fair enough, I'll take your word for that and frankly who gives a shit what the reasoning was given how well he's doing for us but the point was merely that although I thought he improved the squad I had concerns (I guess why was he not part of their CL squad in Lisbon, his fault or PSG's, and why did no one pick him up for 3 months) but he's looking great for us.They're cnuts at PSG, they disrespected him whereas he's their all time scorer.

The same Icardi who completely missed out on the final 8 of the CL.
Yeah I'm not sure I can remember any forward like Martial "developing" those goalscoring instincts like pundits like to talk about every now and then. Rather than Martial being able to learn from him, playing alongside him will just free up Martial to do what he does best. Cavani is totally comfortable spending most of the game away from the ball running into empty spaces, while Martial has always gravitated towards the ball. It just means that when one of Rashford or Martial are injured, they won't be stuck up top without any creative support and without the ability to act as a one-man attack. We were absolutely dire when we played with just the one of them last year, and weren't much better today. Greenwood's breakthrough helped a little with that but he just doesn't occupy defenders so Rashford is too easy to mark. Cavani occupies the defence and can make use of their creativity too.Beautiful header though
The thing is we hoped for the same thing when Zlatan joined, we hoped that Martial would learn from him and develop to be a bit more like a classic number 9. It didn't happen. Martial's play style seems natural and instincive, kinda hard expecting him to change it. He is no Zlatan, RvP, Cavani and probably never will.

I just feel Rashford and Martial aren’t proper #9s, both do better coming in from the left and playing off Bruno and a #9. Greenwood hopefully grows into that role and can really learn from Cavani.Absolutely brilliant.
I wonder whether our young forwards can learn from Cavani or whether it’s a case of you either have it in your DNA or you don’t.
Haha he’s got a long way to go to match Luis Suarez.Best Uruguayan in Premier league history!!!
No way Greenwood is even close to lead our line. Cavani next season all day long.Yup.
Rashy/Tony - Cavani - Greenwood

Indeed, the past is what it is. I think he is fully fit or is very close to it which means he will starting games regularly very soonFair enough, I'll take your word for that and frankly who gives a shit what the reasoning was given how well he's doing for us but the point was merely that although I thought he improved the squad I had concerns (I guess why was he not part of their CL squad in Lisbon, his fault or PSG's, and why did no one pick him up for 3 months) but he's looking great for us.
Yeah and to be honest a team that's only concerned about long term prospects isn't going to win anything.Whatever you think about his longterm prospects there is no doubt he gives us something different, similar to Ibra during his short stay. I'm made up we have him.
You could see even in Istanbul that Cavani is totally different class to Rashford and Martial. He’s the real deal and just confirmed that today. So much better than everyone else.Cavani just showed what real striker is.
That's also Phil Jones when tackling.Tweet

I don't know about that, didn't take VVD long to become the best defender the Premier League had ever known...according to Liverpool-fans ofcourse.Haha he’s got a long way to go to match Luis Suarez.
Indeed. Greenwood was off it today, no shame in that whatsoever, and it's less of an issue when you can send for someone with the experience, quality and ridiculous heading ability of Cavani.Yeah and to be honest a team that's only concerned about long term prospects isn't going to win anything.
