So, for the nay-sayers, we have the chance of signing :
*A striker who scored 25 league goals in a 9th placed team (that only scored 58 all season) in - arguably - Europe's best league.
*A 27 year old available for 30m quid cheaper 26 year old Cavani, the scorer of 29 league goals in a 2nd place team (in Europe's 4th best league) that scored 73 all season.
*A squad member of the reigning World & European Champions (and favourites for the WC next year).
*A player who will not have to put all the miles on the clock that a South American equivalent would have to over the next year due to WC qualifying & home friendlies.
*A player who knows perfectly well how to play with our standout attacking signing so far, as he's already played with him for 4 seasons, and who also has experience of playing with our chief architect (Silva).
*A player who actually wants to come due to wages, manager & team-mates, and who currently plays in a league which is far more similar - in terms of attacking & defensive speed/play - to the PL than Serie A.
Tell me again why this DOESN'T make perfect sense ?
He's not 40 million +
It's an absolute neccesity for the transfer muppets on here...despite them complaining we are always getting rinsed
what a pathetic attempt at a slap down.
firstly, we were by all reports we were chasing cavani, now its some bloke who plays in spain. imo, people thought we were after a top striker, when it now looks like our main target is
no better than last years third choice.
if anyone is pissed off its could be for the same reason i am. i want my team to be the best it can be and am dissapointed we seem to be treading water or at worst going backwards.
27 year old and 28 year old in the bag with another 27 year old to come. none of which are
premiership proven and cost especially in fernandinho case a shit full of money for someone who cant make it into his own national squad.
i really hope my concerns are misfounded because, like the vast majority of people on this forum i have the best interests of the club at heart.
