Benitez told to Napoli president that if Cavani will leave, his priority as forward will be Dzeko

Doesn't mean that Cavani will land surely at Manchester City. But surely, right amount of cash in swap (33m €?) put City ahead of others

Re: Cavani Speculation/News
Yes, but he is supposedly hot fave for the job and his negotiations are at an advanced stage... looks like Rafa may be holding final "yes" to see what happens in PSG as that looks his preferred destination ... I don't think he has many options in the PL, right?
If Benitez did say he wants Dzeko as a priority, then we should hope he goes to Napoli and his other options do not pan out...
Personally, I believe Mancini or Allegri will go to PSG, leaving Benitez out for Napoli...
If Benitez goes to Napoli and he is pressuring for Dzeko, this may be a big tipping point for this transfer and may make Dzeko feel more happy about a move with the manager making him a priority... excited and nervous days ahead !

Re: Cavani Speculation/News
I think it's very unusual for clubs with the spending power of the likes of Us, Real Madrid, Bayern etc to unearth unknown gems that turn out to be super stars. Mainly because we just don't have to. Even youth players are often reasonably known quantities.
We can buy Cavani, and we can buy the next Cavani, but the next Cavani might not come from Napoli, just like the next Sanchez probably won't come from Udinese. We have more money and we'll spend more, because the lines are finer and we just don't need to take the risk. Why risk player A being the next Falcao when we can just buy Falcao? Let the clubs without the spending power blood the players and we'll just have our pick of the best when we know who they are. Sounds parasitic but that's football.
We'll eventually begin to bring through youth which will no doubt involve a lot of failed potential, but we'll still be paying more for the most promising youngsters. And there will still be clubs like Napoli unearthing gems that all the big clubs didn't want to take a punt on.

I know transfers are sometimes complicated but set a 'cut off' date and walk onto the next player if it passes.
That's not me dissing Cavani. I'd really like to see him charging at the Wio's of this world but we don't want a situation like last season where we picked up all the leftovers late on.
Sign some younger, lesser known players for the future rather than going for the obvious, overpriced targets. There are players who will be coveted on here two years from now, just as much as Cavani & Falcao are now.
Put the effort into identifying & signing them instead.

Re: Cavani Speculation/News
That's fine if we succeed in getting Cavani. If however we severely limit our options like Mancini did, to 'I want X' but 'X' signs for someone else, we come 2nd again.<br /><br />-- Sat May 25, 2013 12:21 pm --<br /><br />

But would Dzeko join Napoli. At best doubtful

I can see the headlines now "Cavani turns down Real Madrid to join Manchester City"
Just when you thought things couldn't get any better...........
