Edinson Cavani

[antonnn]

Oh my God, if this is true... FUCK YES!!! He's EXACTLY who I wanted us to sign to replace the hopefully outgoing Torres.

Deserves better? Pfft, he's a perfect fit for us, and with the 3 amigos behind him he could destroy the EPL and bring us a title.

Please be true!!

Of course going to City is better than Chelsea. Worst case is joining Madrid. Best choice is staying at Napoli but I don't see it happening.

 

[antonnn]

Yeah going to City with their 500 strikers is a fantastic option LOL.

 

[Irish_Cules]

Chelsea is definitely the best option for him. With the players they have and Mourinho coming back, they're favorites for the title next year I reckon.

 

[abual3bed1]

I don't like Chelsea a bit and that's why I don't want to see quality players playing for them.

 

[antonnn]

Haha! I like your honesty.

Chelsea have such mixed success with strikers. He could be good, but he could also flop.

Since Abramovich's takeover these have been the big-name strikers acquired:

Crespo - flop
Drogba - success
Shevchenko - flop
Anelka - mixed (arguable)
Torres - flop

What!!! No way was Crespo a flop he was class for Chelsea! the problem was his wife just couldn't settle in London.

 

[abual3bed1]

Which makes him a flop sign for Chelsea.

 

[antonnn]

Crespo wasn't a flop. He wasn't super prolific but he was not a flop. His first season wasn't fantastic but his goal record wasn't terrible. And he was often a sub in his 2nd season when Mourinho got him back from Milan, but still managed a decent return. I really liked him. Cavani is a better goalscorer than Drogba and a real workhorse, he's a Mourinho type of striker.

 

[Andrew M]

Yeah, fair enough, we'll give Crespo a 'mixed'

​Anellucci, Cavani's agent: "He has a contract with Napoli but something more about him will be known in the next days" (Sky)

Dzeko-Cavani swap is potentially on the cards. Noooooooooooooo!!!

Dzeko-Cavani swap is potentially on the cards. Noooooooooooooo!!!

I heard this few days ago, Dzeko isn't okay with this deal.

 

[Kerrybai]

Dzeko-Cavani swap is potentially on the cards. Noooooooooooooo!!!

My guess is Falcao to Chelsea and Cavani to City.
