So basically all that has gone before of the reported bids has been bullshit
Samaras didn't even look good in the Dutch league. It was Huntelaar who was banging them in for fun back then.Phuket Blue said:This 'GUARANTEED 30 goals a season' stuff is comical. I don't think anyone disputes Cavani is a very good player. Perhaps even great.
But so was Schevchenko and so was Torres and Samaras (Ha ha!) and many more who looked great in other Leagues. There are NO guarantees EVER in Premier League Football.

I agree Dzeko was even more prolific than Cavani

Abolutely spot on <throw that mana fish>supercity88 said:I think Cavani is a quality player but I have to agree. If it means signing two or three players instead we should look else where. If he got injured or anything happened then the money is wasted. I am sure he would score loads more goals. For me Dzeko is a clinical striker and used in the right way could be brilliant for City. He is not a striker who will show the fight and determination of others but if its a case of simply wanting someone to bang them in then he can do that job.
Aguero is also more than capable of scoring 30 a season, last year he was injured and for whatever reason we werent playing to our full abilities. Adding Fernandinho and Navas provides us with more pace and width and that in turn will mean better opportunities for our strikers. I would rather see Tevez leave than Dzeko because we no longer need his drive and determination, he comes deep to pick up the ball but we have better players to occupy that space now. We need someone who can be on the shoulder ready to score. Aguero and Dzeko are both able to do that and offer different things. Dzeko needs to improve his mentality etc but I am sure he will if shown support from management and fans.
I dont want to turn to stats etc as I hate them. When we were a developing side Dzeko would have done nothing for us as a club whereas Tevez was incredible and stats would not take that into account. I just think Tevez's role in our side is no longer needed because he plays more as an attacking midfielder and we have enough of those.
No club is stupid enough to pay 60 million for him.LoveCity said:Napoli fans are fed up with Cavani's flirting (with Real, Chelsea, City) and have started putting banners around Naples telling him to leave. Cavani himself seems to have no idea what's going on judging by his latest interview, he claimed to have had no concrete offers yet.
