Edinson Cavani

[Red Pavan]

Couldn't find a thread on this guy, was excellent last season in Serie A with 26 goals finishing just behind top scorer Di Natale.

Sure Napoli are in the CL now but i think this guy could cut it with one of the top teams. I genuinely believe he is better than Forlan.

https://www.redcafe.net/f9/milan-after-palermos-cavani-163666/ kind of a thread on him.

Search engine fail..

Anyway, you are always out to ruin my parade - dick.

 

[schiavone1]

He is top class, I can see him bagging a bucket load in the CL

 

[Drifter]

Reports in Italy saying we're ready to put a bid in.

 

[Ekeke]

Cant see it, but if we were to sign a striker this summer he'd be the right one

 

[Franq]

Reports in Italy saying we're ready to put a bid in.

any links? dont know why SAF would be interested considering he's a big fan of Hernandez and the fact that Rooney is a sure thing for the first XI.... (and still having Berba and Owen in the squad as well...) but I think he's one of the most promising young strikers in europe right now ... Don't why exactly but somehow feel he would fit in our team nicely if such a transfer were to ever happen...

Reports in Italy saying we're ready to put a bid in.

I imagine Gill and Fergie sitting down looking at the telephone.

Gill: Are we ready?
Fergie: A little longer...
Gill: ... ... ready now?
Fergie: A little longer...

What the feck does it mean to be 'ready' to put a bid in?

Didn't they want close to £25-30m for him from City? I highly doubt we will pay that much for him.

 

[Snow]

Hope he stays where he are so that some decent teams will come out of Italy that aren't from Milano.

Edinson Cavani not bound for Manchester United - ESPN Soccernet

Apparently we're not in for him, didn't know we were anyway.

 

[Red Pavan]

We don't need him anyway.

 

[Successful]

I don't think he can score goals in any other team than Napoli. I have also issued this to an italian friend who is an Napoli fan and he seem to believe the same thing.

 

[Randall Flagg]

according to Sky, Chelsea are bidding for him

 

[Maajid]

Edinson Cavani.

 

[Sarni]

feck, hope they don't get him. Probably the best striker they could sign right now. Knowing their luck they will probably pay €47m to buy him and he will then score 3 goals in 30 games this season.

 

[Ramshock]

The scousers will go suicidal if he goes to the chavs

 

[Ekeke]

A beast. Hope Chelsea dont get him

 

[Steven Seagull]

Good old FFP

 

[Carl]

They really do need a striker. Cavani would be ideal really. A good target for those 3 creative players behind him.

 

[Sarni]

Liverpool are his dream because he wants to play with his idol Suarez.

 

[Ludens the Red]

Good old FFP

TBF, Chelsea got rid of a lot of big earners. They haven't got as many leaches as city. And Torres is their only recognised striker. Oh and Chelsea won the CL.

Idol??

Is he 15?

 

[Sarni]

Idol??

Is he 15?

Suarez is widely regarded as a national hero by all people in Uruguay. At least according to RAWK.

 

[B20]

If it means Torres being forced out, I am ok with it.

 

[KanieKaned]

Hed be a great backup/potential number 1 striker. Would not like seeing Chelsea get him a I think they have bought really well this summer with the likes of Oscar, Marin, Hazard.

 

[Brwned]

If it means Torres being forced out, I am ok with it.

You think Torres has a chance of turning things around at Chelsea? It really doesn't seem like anything's going to change, they'll end up losing about £30m on transfer fees alone along with the £20m wasted on wages. Hard to think of a better replacement than Cavani.

I didn't know that. I thought that would Forlan's status.

But more than that, idol is generally used regarding someone you grew up being a fan of rather than someone who's more your equal and contemporary really.

I think he means it from the "I hate Torres and want him to suffer" point of view and not the "I fear how good Torres can be at Chelsea" one.

I think the odds are against it, but I wouldn't rule it out completely. Basically, I will be more at ease once he fecks on out of the PL certifying his transfer to Chelsea as an utter failure.

Don't care what he does afterwards.

 

[Steven Seagull]

Torres' legs are knackered and he doesn't even look like he wants to play football anymore. He's looked completely shot for about 2 years now. Hope Cavani stays right where he is.

Just signed another huge contract with Napoli. How many times have transfer muppet's waved their hand saying that he'll leave Napoli and play for their team.

Lol 55m only a few clubs will meet that. Ridiculous.

 

[Nightingale]

Multiple outlets reporting Wenger's "interest" in Cavani. Probably nothing because who isn't interested in a player like Cavani? I think if Arsenal need to spend big on a player of real quality instead of bargain hunting and patching their squad if they want to secure a Champions League place.

[KM]

They won't get Cavani, he'd be too expensive for them and I don't think he'll leave Napoli right now. He just signed a new contract with them like six months ago.

 

[antohan]

Wenger would never pay what Napoli would demand to part with their greatest idol since Maradona. Not a chance. If I were Wenger, I wouldn't pay it either, he could do with 2-3 20M players scattered across the side instead.

 

[KM]

How do you rate him, Falcao and RVP Anto?

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Would be a very un-Arsenal signing. He's cost a bomb surely. Top class player though - would be outstanding in the PL I'd say. Signing him though would put Walcott's future in doubt (wanting to be a striker and all).

In that case - I call bullshit.

 

[Brophs]

He'll be far, far too expensive for Arsenal. They'd end up having to double the highest fee they're paid, more or less.

 

[SteveJ]

Pretty shameless by Wenger. Reminds of Spurs some years ago - they'd be linked with every big name under the sun, only to sign none of them; like this, it was mere game-playing to stop the fans moaning about the lack of spending.

 

[lunchforthesky]

Cavani's quite underrated in England because no one watches Serie A. Phenomenal striker, his goal record for Napoli speaks for itself.

No way will Arsenal splash that kind of money on one player, it would require a gigantic turn around in club policy.

Absolutely correct.

There's no chance that a smart guy like Wenger doesn't know that he can't possibly pay 40m pounds it'll take to price Cavani away.
