looks like yet another target missed out on

Plus Utd will surely strengthen, Without a top replacement striker we could be 3rd favourites.LoveCity said:Shevchenko was old and had no pace. Torres had deteriorated even before joining Chelsea as Liverpool hadn't given him proper time to recover from injuries and he lost a lot of pace and sharpness.
Cavani is in his prime right now and is a different situation. Mourinho got it right with Drogba and probably would with Cavani.
If Chelsea get Cavani it will make them appear the most ambitious team in the Premier League again, IMO. They spent heavily last season but didn't sign the elite striker they really needed. Now they would have him + loads of goals and assists from Schurrle. Add a strong holding midfielder like De Rossi or Matic and they may be title favourites.
Shevchenko was 30 and in decline when we got him. Torres had been out of form for an entire season after a slew of injuries which he was rushed back from repeatedly. Both of those buys were out of sentiment, not practicality. Cavani is coming into his prime off the back of 3 brilliant seasons on the trot. There is no similarity there beyond the fact that they all cost a lot of money. Should Cavani maintain or even surpass his current productivity for us he would justify the outlay, unlike the other two.garymj said:Shevchenko and Torres, hardly set the world alight for the money they cost, can see cavani being the same at chelsea imo.

If Chelsea get Cavani it will be to meet Mourinho's wishes.
Totally different situation.

1000%
I was convinced Chelsea with Mourinho at the helm would get Falcao and it was pretty frightened at that prospect. I am no less concerned about them signing Cavani.
One thing would be for certain, if Chelsea had Cavani up front we could forget about United as being our biggest threat. United would be the least of our worries.

Nope. Done with that here
Done nothing but share info that has always ended up being proven right, or very close to it - including nailing the Ramires swap inquiry a solid week before it hit the papers/media.
I have no problem sharing what I know from people who do know... but it's not appreciated here and I only end up battling for 10 pages on end. So, not worth it. Im staying silent about Cavani and we'll all know soon where he's going.
