Beat me to it, expect a nice detailed explanation of why he's not the striker for us.....
It'll be an interesting read cos he's exactly what we need IMO. I wait to be put right with baited breath.......................
2 reasons why I don't want Cavani.
1.) We would have to get rid of one of our strikers. We simply can't have 4 top end strikers. Perhaps Dzeko will have to go. But that can only happen in the summer. But this is just procedural, but my real objection is #2
2.) I don't think he will be as good in a slow deliberate passing team,which is kinda what we are. He looks fantastic on a counterattacking/crossing team like Napoli. With us there would be significantly less counterattacking, and even lesser crossing. Don't get me wrong, I think he is the closest thing to Eto'o I have ever seen style wise, and I think Eto'o is the best striker of this generation. So it is not as if I think Cavani is trash. But he simply isn't the best fit for a club like ours and how we operate. We need a different type of striker. For City, I'd rather get a striker like Soldado from Valencia, or Van Persie from Arsenal over Cavani. The former 2 fit our style of play, Cavani doesn't.
But that is just Dax's opinion. :)
