I don't think Cavani is worth more than £20m so these figures are ridiculous.

People, including me are frustrated with Dzeko yet Cavani isn't dissimilar in some ways to him, so to pay this much for that player makes no sense to me.

I'd rather stick with Aguero + Tevez as lone strikers and sign some creative attacking players to generate width.

Aguero is a £38m player.
Tevez is a £15-20m player due to age (and being slighter lesser in ability than Aguero).

We should really have someone like a Niang as an understudy for the bench, as opposed to a Dzeko who gets stroppy if he doesn't start(even though he is only any good when as a sub (when opposition sitting deeper)).

Most teams don't have that many front line strikers.

Barcelona: Villa, and that's it, supported by a vast no. of attacking players.
Real: Benzema or Higuain and that's it.

Our problem is lack of width and slow midfield (yaya+barry highlighted v spurs). Spending
millions on a new striker won't solve these problems.

Even Utd only have 3 strikers. RVP, Rooney, Hernandez. - Hernandez as a bench warmer and last resort, an ever present in RVP, and Rooney who often plays in midfield rather than up front. Welbeck only ever plays wide and has just 1 goal all season long.

You don't think one of the best strikers in the world is worth more than £20m? Are you sure?

Hilarious.

I'm sure Napoli are asking too much but the idea that Cavani is worth less than we paid for James Milner or Dzeko or...

We overpaid for Milner at £24m. There is an "English tax" due to home grown rules. Milner in truth is worth no more than half that. He is a workhorse with very little technical ability.

Dzeko was also overpriced at £28m or whatever it was around that.

Cavani isn't as good as Aguero or Tevez in my opinion. And he certainly isn't cheaper than retaining either or both of them. Why waste all that money?

I concede that Cavani is better than Dzeko but please don't detract from the main point I was trying to make. That signing another striker for top dollar won't solve our problems.

Glad someone here is posting sense. If we buy Cavani within one season the following will happen,

1) Aguero won't be happy not being the main man
2) Cavani won't be happy not being the main man

It's got Dzeko written all over it. Even playing Tevez with Aguero like we're forced so often to do isn't a good idea, they're both strikers, and one of them really should be a world class ACM.

4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, whatever we end up playing, the man at the centre of it all should be Aguero. If Aguero is off to Madrid in a season then fair doos, bring in Cavani. But if he isn't, signing more top class strikers won't mean we score a load more goals.

Silva and Nasri. That is the extent of our attacking midfield if you (wisely) omit Sinclair. If you can name me a single european elite team with only two ACMs I'll show you a god damned liar.

We've built a criminally one dimensional team. The solution is not in replacing our out of favour dedicated centre forward (who will go to a team playing to his strengths and start banging them in again), with another even more expensive dedicated centre forward.
 
60 million is absoloutley ridiculous. FUCK that for that price.

aguero was 38 million ??? how can cavani be nearly double that

so Attacking and central midfield is where the strengthening should be? Lamela, Jovetic, Isco, Fernandingo, Benat. For cheap striker, we could go for Jackson Martinez of Porto.

Uhhh noooo.
Aguero is more well rounded.
But Cavani and Falcao are massively better at finishing chances and being in good positions
Goals like Aguero's at the swamp this season are fairly routine for these strikers
They can score a goal out of nothing consistently

You think jackson martinez would be cheap? he wont, thats for sure, he wont go for under 25m mark my words :)
But yeah, we can consider that cheap to that massive overprice of 60m for cavani :o
