Edinson Cavani - Manchester United Player
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
Excellent masterstroke by Ed. Pulverise all the history and romance around the number 7 shirt so that future young stars do not feel so burdened wearing it. Boom
I prefer his second in that game
He does but just wasn't selected because he hasn't played for so long.
Best transcript of this thread yetHope his not active on twitter.. if he is, that might change real quick after signing for this club.
I for one can't see a single problem with this signing.

Ed looking for shirt sales #7
I hope you guys don't enjoy forwards that can combine together because that's not going to happen with Cavani on the pitch. Give him the ball, it's either a goal or a dead photograph.
Actually excited about this signing. And Telles, and VDB. Diallo is an amazing prospect by all accounts. Happy with this window.
He'll sometimes put on such games though, from time to time. I'm bringing this video so that people won't get mad when it happens in one off game for him.
Better than Tevez already, then.
ah good, think 2 weeks training is needed. Hope he retires from the national team though, selfishly speaking.
On paper Cavani, Rashford, Martial and Greenwood look a match for the fabled front four of Cole, Yorke, Solskjaer and Sheringham.
Thats a high quality front four to select from and three arguably have their best years to come.

Delighted to have fended off all the competition to secure this one.
Well hes not better down the middle than Cavani, Martial is better than Rashford on the left, so there is point if Cavani becomes the main CF...
If Rashford concentrates more on providing than always shooting he is the best option on the right
They're still a top 6 Serie A team. Top level football still I'll say.He isnt really. AC milan are not what they used to be. A bit like where we are heading
Anyway he was fantastic for us and definitely didn't come to United back then to enjoy money and nice retirement. If Cavani put on a similar season to what Zlatan put for us, I'll be really pleased.
Not sure he will. The NT manager talked about him being needed for the next World Cup.
What odds are you giving me on him leaving United before fans are actually allowed inside the stadium again? I would not be surprised if he leaves after this season to play in China or the US, having played a total off 11 games inc. subs scoring three goals. Being injured for basically all of the games, his hamstrings are going to take a right killing in January aren’t they...
Yeah we're lucky he chose us.
You dont know that though do you? And even if it was if we were prepared to spend 110 on players we should have just got Sancho before August 10th even better
If he took the 7 off another player I'd understand the outrage. He's only here for one year (where the extension will occur if he's any good).
It's fine giving him a vacant fecking shirt number. Get over it, he's not here for a decade.

You having a laughHe isnt really. AC milan are not what they used to be. A bit like where we are heading
AC Milan are one of the better sides in Serie A mate. Not to mention still play in the Europa. It's not like he's playing in fecking Belarus.
That #7 must be Ed's idea. A big feck you towards the fana.
Quality goal
What would you’re reaction be if we signed Arjen Robben this summer for our RW? People get way too blinded by names.
I’m open to be proven wrong though and his 100% a better option than Igahlo. Fans are allowed to be underwhelmed by this signing though.
Rashford isn’t a right winger!
If United had a project it wouldn't involve signing a 33 year old out of form and declining forward.
Why does this club do the dumbest thing nowadays.

I’m so happy with this amazing signing delivered by the club.
It's mainly injuries but he didn't fit with Mbappé and Neymar because they like to play quick one-twos and have a more technical game while Cavani is a more physical, direct player. So he would often be out of the attacking play. And the "falling out" with Neymar and most attacking players was from day one and demonstrated by the penalty incident in 2017.
Are you lot really losing your shit over a shirt number? Jesus wept.
Robben is 36. At 33 he was tearing it up at Bayern.
I don't, no, but the supposition is that the negotiating team fecked up big time thinking a) there was time to negotiate and b) Dortmund would drop their asking price near the end of the window. They didn't even bother to engage them before that deadline as far as I can tell. Shambolic.
Thanks for the info. In short then, do you think he physically is still in decent shape and can have an 'Ibra' like effect on the side?
Arjen Robben has literally been retired for a year and is 36 mate.
Can only hope he does a Zlatan but won't be holding my breath. Let's be honest he's not coming to United because we're Manchester United it's purely because we will pay him the most wages. Why the feck didn't we go for Aubameyang when he was clearly unsettled at signing a new contract till Arsenal started getting it together again. He was there for the taking, instead we go for another panic buy.
Get use to another year without winning a decent Cup/Competition.

Don’t take it out on this guy because we refused to pay up for Sancho. We were looking for a back up striker regardless of Sancho.
PR team working overtime I see.
