Time wasn't right for us or Cavani. Maybe next season if Tevez leaves, but not now.

Dzeko will always, always score goals for us for as long as we have him. He has great movement and positional sense and just a knack for knowing where to be. Granted his touch and control lets him down sometimes in the build up play, but fuck, he´s not bad for a guy whose basically our 4th choice striker. Sure Cavani is probably a better all round player, or at least looks it in Serie A, but my point is, is he really that much better to make it wothwhile spending a lot of time, effort and money in bringing him in? Also it seems that he plays a lot more like Tevez than Dzeko, for me it would reduce the variety we had in attack as well.
Chasing these star strikers in complicated deals just seems like a distraction from where we really need to improve. I mean today, when a pretty average Liverpool side pressed us hard and fast in midfield and defence, we couldn´t keep the ball. Swansea did the same under Rodgers when they beat us. It doesn´t give me much hope for if we face someone like Barca who are absolute masters at that.

The Uruguay international is one of the most coveted strikers in Serie A, and is the second highest goalscorer in the division this season (13 goals) behind AC Milan starlet Stephan El Shaarawy (14 goals).
Despite being linked with Chelsea and Manchester City earlier this year, club chief Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed the forward will remain at Stadio San Paolo for the foreseeable future, hailing the attacker’s impact on their recent return to form.
"Cavani is a warrior who embodies all that's best of the Napoli spirit and our supporters," he told Radio Monte on Wednesday. "It is because of this I turned down an offer of €55m."
"Cavani has become the symbol of our resurgence. If I have kept him here it is not because of money, but a love for the club."
The 25-year-old’s goals have assured the Partenopei sit fifth in Italy's top flight after 18 games, 10 points behind league leaders Juventus.

"You are intelligent enough on your own to understand where Cavani will play his football next season."Stoned Rose said:http://www.clubcall.com/manchester-city/agent-makes-city-target-claim-1525610.html?
