No, it's bare minimum.

Where's the compilation then ? *sigh*
This only makes sense if Greenwood will play primarily RW this season. Thus needing CF depth behind Martial.

So his contract expires when Haaland's release clause becomes active then...
‘Green and gold until Cavani is sold’
Bloody hell, I can’t see the negative here, we have no all out natural striker/ goalscorer in the squad.
The amount of games where we’re been screaming out for this type of player, even just for a second half has been incredible.

This is great news.
A proven goal scorer!
Now just add Sancho and we’ve had a good window.

But but but it's a panic buy.....
You trust this club to have that sort of foresight?
He fought with Neymar, not Mbappe.
Anybody who argues with a gobshite like Neymar immediately goes up a few notches in my estimation.
7 goals in all comps last season; what does that prove?
Not our money mate - I think this is another case of people being obessed with playing pressing football, no Cavani wont be that type of player or hamper Martial, Rashford or Greenwood, hes here for 2 years to score goals and get us up the table, improve our squad, i dont see why people are giving out
If bare minimum in your world is let Chelsea, City and Liverpool move further away from us and Spurs/Everton close the gap on us. In my world that isn’t bare minimum. It’s unacceptable.
Ibra didn't do too badly and he was even older. In the context of other signings (LB, Jadon) he could be a smart purchase. Ole is from an era of having 4 strikers available so makes sense for him.
And Tuchel too
Explain how it's not a panic buy/signing?
As long as he's on a decent wage, he should be a good option to rotate in with the rest of our attackers. Especially if we don't think Greenwood is ready to play a lot of games as a striker.
Did anyone watch him last season? How was he? Hmm, just looked up his stats and see he had a couple of different injuries last season.

One of my favourite players and really wanted him at the club after he left Napoli. As much as I would love to see him in our shirt, I don’t expect a great deal from him nowadays.
All you can do is laugh. 
Sorry, you're absolutely right maybe I should take my red-tinted specs off and paint my house green and gold. Silly me.
I'm not against this signing - I like Cavani as a player and most of all, as a leader. The guy is a warrior and we need much more of that in our squad.
But if this wasn't a panic buy, we should have got it done weeks if not months ago.
22 games, 7 goals for PSG... Where are you getting your stats from??
And for people saying he’ll be on the end of Sancho/Telles crosses... we currently have 26 senior squad members, 27 with Cavani. We need to sell 3 more players to make a squad place for anyone else over 21. Sancho Is U21 so Is fine, but do People really believe we will complete 6 deals in 1.5 days when one of those is a match day?
Signing Cavani until we can get Haaland maybe.
Because having players on high wages hampers our big to sign players like Sancho etc. Our wage budget is already huge.
This is another case of the club being desperate and showing zero planning. Cavani has been available all summer; why the sudden interest?
It's better than nothing. Obviously not getting a winger in this summer, presumably will go in for Sancho again next summer. Cavani as a stop gap depth signing is alright, as we didn't have anyone who can be a poacher/target man. Injuries a big concern, will need time to get match fit but rotating around, if he stays fit, will be fine.
Beyond fecked up that we've reached this point in the transfer window, and are left with this though. Year after year, window after window, we show our incompetence in the transfer window, lack of proper strategy, lack of urgency and leave everything too late and end up getting some panic signing. Cavani is 100% a panic signing, but at the same time, panic signings are still better than no signings especially when you consider our situation this season.
Hope we "panic sign" Telles, but I doubt it.

If he's just coming to be an upgrade on Ighalo then fine. If he's supposed to be any more than that then not so fine.
He's been available on a free for 3 months and we're doing this now, it clearly is a panic buy because other deals haven't worked out.
Absolutely no chance get gets us an extra 10-12 points this year.
This is a pure desperation buy from the club that has said it has learned from Falcao and Sanchez and won't be doing that type of deals again. Other clubs have baulked at the agent fee so we're likely getting taken for a ransom in this deal.
Wonder why no other club went for him?
Because they’re not fecking stupid that’s why. Well done Ed you absolute muppet.

Be hard to paint it from up Woody’s behind mate.
This all depends on other things.

Just when you thing were signing the right mould of player, this is terrible
It's a sign of a club in desperatation. Terrible terrible. This guy been available for months on a free touted round Europe. No one wanted him but here comes ed riding to the rescue. Disgrace
Haaland hates us, he will never play for United the leeds scum.
Henrik Larson another that worked
Cavani's a shadow of his former self, unless a miracle happens, he won't do much more than Ighalo did.
This. Will end in tears.
