Cavani Speculation/News (page 301 onwards)

Bangs four in against spurs

I hate the way the Dzeko fanboys cling to this.

It's pretty simple, really.


Dzeko at City: 106 games, 40 goals
Cavani at Napoli: 138 games, 104 goals

Dzeko +20m sounds about right to me, maybe a bit low actually. He's only worth what he can do on the pitch.

What are the minutes per goal ratios for both?

I know this - they are irrelevant.

There is a growing rumour in the 'backstage' of a consistent Chelsea raise for Cavani. Let's see

If you look beyond the goals you will find Cavani is a vastly superior footballer and athlete. More powerful, braver, faster, much better workrate and stamina. If Dzeko was his equal then clubs would be queuing up for him since his transfer fee will be less than half that of Cavani's.

Well, there's no sign of City doing anything so I suspect we can forget Cavani coming to City.

yeh, a bit disappointing, but there hasn't been any talk of us doing anything. All the links pointing to Chelsea :(

Cavani - a goal every 111 minutes
Dzeko - a goal every 155 minutes

Also, given Cavani played more that 2,700 minutes more it makes it even more impressive but no more relevant as johnmc pointed out.

Not until this season have I seen so much importance put on goals per minutes.

Cavani is simply the better player, and that's not a knock on Edin.

TBH I wouldn't mind Lewandowski at all. Won't be nearly as expensive. He's proven it against the best.

Thought he was off to Bayern, but maybe we can pull a similar thing to when we bought Aguero.

there is simple some rumours nothing more...we don't know if txiki and soriano are trying to get this sorted in secret(no media) and then just anounce that when he is already done and dusted just like fernandinho we just knew about talks with sakhtar who want only the buy-out clause and then boom he has the medical in the same day when he signed
