Cavani to PSG (edit) or Real or Us...!

[Mayor West]

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?

Agree

I'll be equally gobsmacked if Levy done business with another English club in the sale of Bale, he refused to deal with Chelsea on the sale of Modric, hence the reason Modric was so pissed off, i can see the same thing happening with Bale.

Don't get me wrong, i would love him at City but Levy is the stumbling block not Bale

I'm sure Spurs would not want to sell to an English club but Levy is a money grabbing so and so...

Didn't they accept a lower offer for Modric from Madrid compared to Chelsea's?

Not sure. I thought they asked Chelsea for a lot more than they sold him for but that Chelsea wouldn't pay that price i.e. they would only sell to them for a premium. However, I didn't follow up it that closely and am not going to check back but if someone else wants to...<br /><br />-- Tue Apr 23, 2013 5:42 pm --<br /><br />

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...

that was me
I can't create my own threads so i will post in all concerned

I was out dining last night at Australasia , sat on the table next to me
was Txiki Begiristain .

I was having the craic with him and i give him 5 names and he replied as follows

Messi - No
Neymar - Off to Barcelona
Isco - Yes
Cavani - Mancini likes him
Falcao - Yes

Taking it all with a pinch of salt but these were his words

interesting if you're not wumming.

He had photos to prove.

fair enough, that's very interesting then,

i'd cream myself silly if we got falcao.

 

[SuperSilva]

With Goetze gone so early and announced way before the Summer window opening, and with PSG playing catch up with City, I can see some big big news (release clauses activated agreements etc) happening in the next 1-2 weeks!

 

[yatesy94]

Wouldn't pay anymore than £35Million for Cavani but then again I would much prefer to see Falcao playing in a City shirt next season. Chelsea have that signing wrapped in the bag though using Torres and Courtois as transfer bait.

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.

£40million is about fair for Cavani. Similar fee to Aguero and with strong qualities like Aguero. Two high-end forwards with different features and qualities who could hopefully co-exist to create a lethal strike force. The creativity and genius of Aguero paired with the predatory instincts and energy of Cavani. I would hope how a new signing will link up with Aguero is carefully considered as we still have yet to find the perfect partner for him. Dzeko and Mario have not been ideal strike partners for him, Aguero + Tevez is a good partnership but overrated and they're a bit too alike and neither highly clinical.
