Drewmanc said:I may be mad but reading this thread almost wants me to give up on next years title already - FFS - We have, at the moment, Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko and to a lesser extent - Guidetti. Now I recall that when we signed Aguero he was THE sought after striker in world football (excluding messi et al) and although he didn't have a record breaking season last season (it was disrupted by injury and marriage break up) but is still a fucking shit hot striker. Dzeko, when we signed him from Germany was a sought after player who was banging them in left right and centre. I also think we all agree that Tevez if he were to sign on for 2 more years would continue to produce what we all know he can and does.
I do think Cavani would be a good signing but the money being talked about is obscene and I'm sick of the cat and mouse game played by the media - the only people quiet on this are the supposed buying clubs - us and Chelsea, I do think he'd be a huge upgrade on Dzeko and if supposed interest in Dzeko from Napoli is true then we should work hard at a deal from that angle BUT next season is not a write off - it's not like we're possibly starting the season with Bradbury, Creaney, Vuoso and Peacock is it? We're starting with 3 really really good strikers who have, and will again bang in 20+ goals each a season. Not getting Cavani is not the end of the world.
But it would be fucking ace!

But fucking Italian teams are murder to negotiate with, the greedy twats.
Admirable he is ADL. Though we have some people with savvy now as well so its going to be interesting . Barcelonas dealings were always extended affairs , but they often got their man...!Puppet Master Silva said:Don't like the guy, but it seems ADL is playing a blinder, not too hard with one of the most sought after strikers in world football, but still.
Manchester City were also expected to bid for Cavani last night but Edin Dzeko may not now be part of that package.
