You are crazy for comparing Thiago to Cavani, seriously what the feck?
Edinson Cavani - SIGNED for United

1/4 is a pretty poor strike rate for the money spent on them.
big difference, they were bought to be star players with a guaranteed starting place.
He compared their injury recordsYou are crazy for comparing Thiago to Cavani, seriously what the feck?
So we can afford this with a huge agent fee and high wages but can’t seemingly get Telles and Sancho over the line?
Brutal club. I hate it.

This transfer stinks. Smell of Woody all over this.
shhhhh.... stop being logical.
Baffling FC
And Cavani is 33, having 2 prior seasons ravaged by injuries. He might have the Ighalo type of impact, but I don't expect anything more, even that would be okay considering his fitness issues.
Cavani is one of the least football players I'd call a softie. Nice change actually as we had too many fannies the last few years.
Yup fully agree. looks like Ed is meddling
It's like being back in the LVG days when we signed Falcao and Schweinsteiger.
Common denominator being Woodward the daft cnut.
Indeed. Obssession with age of players is insane here. We got (still) very good striker for free and on 2 years contract.
He was. But that’s completely irrelevant to Cavani.
Signing Cavani is better than nothing,we need to get behind the team.
It’s still not good enough but like I said, it’s better than doing sweet fa.
We can afford them. We’re just trying to get the best deal.
Absolutely fuming over this shit signing, we really need to get rid of the owners or whoever is making this happen
..huge amount - €10m asked ..
How do we know he's not on sky high wages then? I'd imagine he was backup last season at PSG but can't have been managed well with his injury record. I've no issue with replacing Ighalo as backup but there are surely better options.
Look forward to next summer when Cavani's wages get mentioned as a reason we can't afford to buy players then too.
To be objective for just one moment, at least we now have a viable physical and aerial threat in the box for 75% of the games versus teams that just sit back and dare us to try and break them down. If nothing else, he's an option we don't currently have in the squad.
Fixed.
Because he has feel around him.
Alexis Sánchez before his disastrous move to us was better. He looks spring chicken compare to Cavani especially last season.
Cavani is always wasteful. Juventus who was desperate for a new forward chose to pass on him as free and pick Morata instead, says it all. Juventus had Luis Suarez, Dzeko, Milik as priority before having to settle for Morata. Cavani would have been more straight forward deal, no?
Cavani on a free transfer for a team struggling to unlock deep defences seems an astute piece of business. And I don't give a feck if its Woody, Ole or Fergie pushing the button.
We can do things that other clubs can only dream of.
Just want to delete the club at this point.
shame we don't have anyone who can cross a ball
Falcoa was a gamble we took after his injury, you know that surely. Didn’t work out which can happen.
Cavani is an experienced player who will hopefully add to the squad. I’d rather bring him on in games than any of Ighalo, James, Lingard and depending on the opposition Mata.
First, you’re optimistic about Sancho.
And now you’re positive about Cavani.
What next.. you’re going to say that our entire team isn’t shit?!
come on mate, at least TRY to fit in around here..
There is a difference between doing you cruciate and having a season where you just keep getting injuries which keep you sidelined. Not every 33-year-old footballer is past it.
Thanks, captain Obvious. I had no idea.
I fell asleep after a heavy lunch. Have I woken up in 2015?
The context of this window makes people lose their heads
Good signing and will give us qualities in the team we don’t have

Cavani can head a cross. None of our forwards can. Other than that its very difficult to find positive...honestly.
The differences for me are that Zlatan
- Didn't have the huge amount of injuries that Cavani has had in recent years
- Was still playing at a ridiculous level for PSG, unlike Cavani who's had a terrible season and looks like a player on a steep, steep physical decline.
- Was and is unbelievably technically gifted so his game translated much better to aging than Cavani who always relied on his physical qualities and non-stop running
Cavani is literally on record - or at least his agent is - in dismissively saying that the only reason he would come here would be for the money.
Good signing if it was one of four or five this summer. Like Thiago Silva for Chelsea.
If we get Sancho and Telles in, then this is perfect. If there is nothing else happening, then clearly this is ED in panick mode after seeing the CL draw and realising that we will lose millions if we don't make it to the knockout phase.

Cavani is confirmed ?
Your reply to the post even more ridiculous then. Was giving you the benefit of the doubt
This the first transfer that Talk Sport have been first with the breaking news?
nobody can cross
So we're signing a 33 year old who's spent the last 7 years in a farmer's league.
Great.
Great.
Aerial threat with nobody to put a decent ball in the box.
