You make a good point. But answer this for me. We are playing PSG tomorrow in CL. In the weekend PL, Greenwood gets injured(god forbid). Who do we line-up in attack?
Man, I really hope Cavani hits the ground running, and proves everyone wrong. We need him.
I think we lack experince in our attack, rashford, greenwood and martial are so inconsistent cavani will do the team some good. I would have liked someone a bit younger but theres no one available thats quality like him.Old isn't the first word that comes to kind when I think of Vardy, that's true.
I meant to say, United surely can sign a top class striker in his 20s? Don't ask me for examples though
You compared it to a scenario that is completely dissimilar. Own that and move on.
All 3 are captain material too!
I literally said that is the only difference. So weird that you would point out the difference while completely ignoring the similarity. I never said its a 100% like for like scenario. The scenario of how we came to require a RW is different. How we react to that in the transfer market is the same. Does that make it clearer?
I don’t understand the relevance of the comparison, I don’t think it makes sense. you do. Let’s move on.
You don't but the poster I originally responded to claimed he would score more than Ibrahimovic. I agree with your post here, absolutely.
Yeah same here. There's going to be some bitterness that we didn't sign Sancho (myself included, gutted! I was the 3rd highest poster in that thread!
) But we shouldn't let it spill over onto our view of Cavani.He was and didnt he go to Barca for 2 seasons then.
Fair enough, hope he does well for you lot.
That and we are also days from a terrible defeat, people were already on the edge.
I always forget he was there for a season. 9 in 21 in the league as well, not bad.
Definitely a factor. He seems very professional, if he gets fit and in form, could be interesting. I'd been expecting to have Ighalo as the backup so I can't find much to complain about for this transfer on its own merits.
Ok. Now I’m fully onboard.
You make a good point also. In that scenario there would be no easy answer. Rashford should be kept on the left and Cavani should go nowhere near it unless it was for 15 - 20 mins at the end. He needs time to be assessed.
Yes, almost everyone mentioned Messi's age. Football fans argue about almost everything but one thing which is simply factual is athletic performance starts to decline in the late twenties. You can still be world class if you're exceptional into your thirties because football simply isn't about who can run the fastest or longest but fitness, acceleration, top speed etc are all important facets of the game.
3 of those were against us though
Martial LW Cavani ST and Rashford on the RW. It's not ideal, but it's not like we'll be delving in to the Lingard/Mata level players.
People get hung up on shirt numbers too much
Ah, that's probably why I forget.3 of those were against us though
Literally every non United supporter I've spoken to the last two days are laughing at us. A chronically injured 33 year old striker coming from the French league to the premier league will be a struggle.
Well, if it helps, Ole, RVP and Ferdinand probably know more about football and strikers in particular then those friends of yours. They might be trying to make you feel bad.Hahahahaha. Yes because those three you mentioned trained with Cavani over the last 6 months to prepare him for this league. Fool. Where was the rest of the league the last 3 months or Europe for that matter? How did such a superstar go under the radar? Because he's been fecking injured for the last 8 months, is 33 and is coming out of the french league.
