Cavani Speculation/News (part 5)

[stan bowles]

Dan Taylor said on Twitter he's been told we won't be buying Cavani/Suarez/Rooney or paying Tevez style wages, so looks like we'll be looking a rung down at someone like Soldado or Martinez perhaps. He also said it's "not happening for Guidetti" whatever that means.

Sounds a bit like arsenal,sell your top players and pick up second or third tier players...

How else can we afford to pay YaYa 200k a week, Silva same, Nasri 180k a week, Dzeko 170k a week, Komps 130k a week, Aguero 150k a week ? The spending has to be reined in to meet FFP. We are the highest spenders on players wages in the world plus Mancini's massive pay off must have an impact too. It simply can't continue. We have not scouted well enough over the last 2-3 years to unearth the young talent other clubs have preferring to spend big and to a large degree that has served us well. However, we're in a new chapter now and the massive transfer fees and stratospheric wages look like being a thing of the past.

I get the uneasy feeling with the way some of our,transfer business is turning out that we,are going down the prudent road a little too fast....we could become a very good footballing side without the extra bit of,qualify ( a bit like arsenal ).

Utd have got the right balance in the past. They buy young players but always mix them in with buying the one player who makes acreal difference.



We need a world class centre forward to go with aguero. Without that at present we will he a good team but we won't win the prem. We don't have enough in the forward,areas at present and cavani is really the only one available that will improve us and keep us at that level.

Ajax, Dortmund and Napoli have outperformed City in the Champions League on a much smaller budget.

Far from worried yet as there's a long way to go till the window slams shut.

I'll be reserving judgment till then.

Have faith

We can all pick games where players have been woeful,and,although some more than others,i include all in that.

Dzeko has often been a square peg and hasn't been given a sustained opportunity to prove his worth,perhaps Pelle will now give him one.

Pellegrini can't improve Dzekos first touch.

We must sign Cavani now... I'd hate to see him sign for Mourinho

Maybe not, but he can make him feel part of things which will help his confidence and subsequently his all round game.
I was quick to damn Dzeko after the Spurs away game where he was nothing short of abysmal. However at Spurs in our title winning season he was unplayable.
Shaun Derry was guest presenter on Talkshite yesterday and he was saying how good Dzeko was and said he made the difference when he came on in the title winning game. That's a pro's verdict.

What happened to challenging the elite and becoming one of the biggest clubs on the planet. If the above is true this won't happen for a long long time.

The top clubs have the best players - RM, Barca, Bayern etc.

I love the owners and will always be grateful for what they have given and it may continue ( hopefully ). But if they think we can go into this season with Aguero and Dzeko and a second rate backup they are totally under estimating how hard the prem will be next season.

Flap Flap Flap!!

Have I missed something isn't the transfer window end of August ? As if they would let tevez go without having a hit list with probably 3/4 replacements on it.

This all is rather perplexing in my eyes. We seem to be taking FFP extremely seriously yet we were very quick to wrap up deals worth huge sums of cash. I hate going back to this but why exactly did we pay the £30M outlay for Fernandinho if we were so keen to abide with FFP? I understand that our club needs a solid CM but really spending 30M for a player that we had ZERO competition for is absurd. A CM is needed but couldn't Txiki and Ferran try to knock the price down further. You have to remember that we concluded the deal in June while there is still the best part of 3 months left in the Transfer window. I really feel that our spending patterns lack any consistency. Getting a striker that can change the game for us like RVP did for the rags should be high on our priorities and that showed last season when our strikers which included Mario and Tevez weren't efficient and were misfiring. I'm really hoping that we've got a top target in mind that fits this criteria and can get us out of jail when we need him most.

if cavani signs with chelsea it will be a double blow. if he goes to RM, then so be it. but i don't think we can afford to allow chelsea to take a top target from us two years in a row.

If thats the case and we don't have the young talent coming through, why give a new manager a target of a trophy every season and claim you are going to try and win the champions league. This will be virtually impossible when you are competing against clubs who go and spend what they want plugging every weakness in their teams. Unless we are very lucky and unearth the next best sticker in the world, Champions league glory will be unobtainable.
