Not sure his muscle to fat ratio is right for the premier league and especially United.
Edinson Cavani - Manchester United Player
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
He seems fit. Hopefully he'll have some gas left in his tank for a few years. As much as i loved it when Ibrahimavoc played for us he looked rather slow and sluggish at times.
Interesting - as I know very little about muscle to fat ratios, I am curious what gives you that impression?
half the player Lukaku is...
Wtf. Look at those abs. Not to mention that cam distorts the view a bit. If anything he can carve through a defense with that jaw line.
Nothing a couple of days on Luke Shaw's diet won't fix.
He was joking, I think.
Not true. Twice the mentality though.

Total punt by the club. Could have the positive impact of an Ibrahimovic or the down right destructiveness of a Di Maria. Flip of a coin for me. Probably worth a punt given his CV and how light our forward line looks with an injury or suspension.
Everyone was joking, I get it.
Jokes aside, he's a lot lighter than I would have thought given his "aura". I thought he was taller too, 1.84m, said to be 71kg. Somehow I bracketed him in the Zlatan-esque box, which is wide off the mark. Zlatan 1.95m and 91kg.
We havent had a CF with abs that nice since RvP so it's kind of a win regardless really. I love my wife.
Cavani was not even close to a punt. Would have gone to Atletico if they did just spend 100m pounds on that fantastic no.9 kid so they weren't willing to pay for cavani with the pandemic when they already had options. Fans will see what we've been missing in a true no.9 and Ighalo showed shades of that.
He's in Manchester, that's all you need to know.
There's only one person to blame for that.
Oh oh I know, I know!!
Pick me. Oh pick me!
Ok, you are to blame. Way to go, Redplane.

You're welcome Ed for taking one for the team. I will wait for my check to arrive between now and the end of next year.

Just give him a couple of weeks at Carrington and those abs will be gone. Lord knows what they serve in that canteen.
He will still be quarantining , shows the panic nature of the signing , he was available all summer if we had really wanted him.
Hee may be a last resort panic signing but hopefully once he is available he can prove to be very good signing nonetheless.
Like someone said in his performances thread if he can bag a goal on his debut or just within first few games it could get him rolling
Is the chips ban still going on?
Moyes' finest hourIs the chips ban still going on?
I always question the weights given to footballers. I'm 185cm and at my peak a few years ago I was 84kgs (with fairly low bodyfat). I still considered myself fairly skinny and could have easily put on another 5kg or so of muscle to get to where I wanted. Then I got lazy and dropped back down to 76kg instead which is probably my natural weight when I'm not trying to gain weight/muscle.
Yeah, if this is accurate, I'd say Cavani weighs about the same as a long distance runner.I always question the weights given to footballers.

We had to make three chefs redundant when Lukaku left.

Back in the day, I played Rugby at an amateur level. ‘Trained’ twice a week and the occasional night time run. 6’2” and around 14st 10lb . I could eat what I wanted, as much as I wanted and drink Guinness without putting weight on. All because I had a very good metabolism. Muscle also weighs more than fat as it’s denser. Now, at 68, I weigh 15st, watch what I eat, walk a lot and have an Irish Whiskey at night.
The point is, all people are different. Luke Shaw will always be that body shape whatever he does, perhaps he could lose some fat. Steve Bruce is a fatty now but Keano isn’t, two different types of human.

3rd picture in. What is going on with his left knee?
thats the quad muscles overlapping the knee joint. that happens with people who play regularly, i have it myself.3rd picture in. What is going on with his left knee?
Not sure why but last night made me excited for this lad to start playing, and I seriously hope he's got plenty left in the tank.
I'm sure he is looking forward to playing with Telles, some of his crossing last night was sweet.
Exactly this. Cavani seems to be the only player in our forward line who is prolific with his head. He's got phenomenal air time too.
Hopefully he's fit for Chelsea game. I can see him making a right nuisance of himself amongst their defenders.
I'm really excited to see him fit in as well. He brings different qualities and another dimension to our attack that wasn't there before, even if it's just for 20-25 games a season.
I’m calling it now. He will score against Chelsea.
I don't care if this had nothing to do with last nights game and they were merely discussing Gogglebox, you love to see it:
Cavani is a leader and a warrior - he'll only be a positive influence on young players in this squad. I love how rapt Tuanzebe is as well, that sort of respect and willingness to listen to advice speaks well of the lad.

When is he likely to at least make the bench?
Axel speaks fluent French so likely was just asking him if he thought his pocket would be big enough for both Neymar and Mbappe or just one.
