Cavani Speculation/News 3 (or 4)

[NipHolmes]

It's down to us not wanting to pay €63m, and rightly so that's a rip off.

Chelsea won't pay it either. They'd have Falcao otherwise who is the better of the two.

well the reason falcao went to monaco is because he was offered 11 m/y. Cavani doesn't demand the same wages as falcao do

Cavani wants the same, difference is the tax.

Monaco is stopgap for Madrid by looks of it.

Isn't it best that we wait anyway? Wouldn't want to spend over £50m and then he breaks his leg in the conf cup

Quick hypothetical situation & question for those saying "just pay the €63m".
Say you won £1m on the lottery, would you spend £300,000 on a £100,000 Lamborghini just because you could? No you wouldn't & if you said "fuck it yeh why not?" Then if you won £1m I can guarantee you it'd be gone within 2 months & you'd be back at square one or worse!
Well it's the same with the club, we won't spend €63m on a player even though we can when we know in reality he's probably worth around €45m max.

Personally i think the price for Cavani is absolutely ridiculous. Is he really worth the money? I know his goalscoring record is fantastic, but so was Shevchenko's and look how badly he flopped at Chelsea, coming from the "Italian Serie A" as well.

Doesn't anyone think Gonzalo Higuain is worth a punt? He is a fabulous player with an excellent first touch, technically gifted on the ball and he scores goals. He is also an argie and would link up superbly with Aguero, he can also speak Spanish and would fit in well with most of our other players who also speak Spanish. Pellegrini got the best out of Higuain when he was at Madrid in that one season and i just think Gonzalo Higuain for around 25m would be much better value for money than Edinson Cavani at 53m.

Isn't Higuain also the top scorer in the World Cup qualifiers as well?

Proven top class striker IMO.

Forget about "biding wars"
The simple fact of the matter is
this: Cavani has a contract with
Napoli. One of the clauses in
that contract is that any club
that offers €63m will have their
offer accepted by Napoli and
may negotiate personal terms
with the player. Until such time
as a club offer €63m, Napoli
don't have to do anything unless
they wish to accept a lower
offer. If someone offers €63m
then Napoli are duty bound to
accept that offer.

This sums it up for me.

There is nobody I want more this Summer other than Cavani, but paying €63m for him would be outrageous.

To think Madrid might be getting Suarez for around €40m and Lewandowski is on the market for €25m, all three players have similar if not exact goal returns.

Just too expensive and too much of a risk to take if you ask me.

Hope Nigeria will go through instead of Uruguay...maybe then this will be resolved a bit sooner.

My head's about to explode playing the waiting game.
