The_Mo said:If Chelsea get Cavani then i believe we will go all out for Bale and keep Tevez, Aguero and Dzeko. They are three top strikers and there aren't any better strikers available IMO, so we would be better off getting Bale who has pace and can play left, right and center.adrianr said:NQCitizen said:Surely the one time you sell a player to your rival is to stop them signing a better playet that you can get yourselves?
City with Cavani is better than Chelsea with Dzeko. But Chelsea with Cavani would be a very real threat.
If that did actually happen, I don't think the difference next season would be anywhere near as big as some make out. Would expect Dzeko as the main man at Chelsea to score as many as Cavani for us, certainly within 3/4 goals. Dzeko with consistency and confidence is a bloody beast.

That's the point! Wolfsburg played with 2 natural wingers and Dzeko scored tons of goals there. Lets be patient with him , give him one more season under pelle and see how it goes.
I know what your point was mate and I agree, or I'm at least open to the idea (not sure what the full plan is with the strikers yet)

Just look at Arsenal, sold off their best players and it nearly cost them a top 4 place and has put them further down the pecking order in the league.

What? The Dzeko that plays for us? MP uses inverted wingers for a start.adrianr said:NQCitizen said:BufordUSABlue said:I am in the 'Keep Dzeko camp' as I still don't think we have ever seen the best out of him as our play obviously doesn't suit him. Let Pellie have a season with him and see what comes of it. My fear is that we get Cavanni in for Dzeko and the goals scored remain on a par.......... and we will be around 20M pounds (at least) worse off. Also never keen on selling a player to our rivals as it invariably comes back to bite us on the arse. A fired up Edin looking to prove a point will be hard to contain IMO..

Adebayor really had the season of his life, didn't he?
The key words bring Arsenal sold their BEST players. We'd be selling Dzeko.Bobbins said:You don't sell players to your rivals whether or not you think they are good or bad, If they want him they a have seen something they like and that could come back to bite you.

We need a one chance one goal striker soooo much!
green pennies said:City and Chelsea (along with scum most probably) will be neck and neck for the top of the table all of next season. How can we sell to THEM? Selling him to another English club would be bad enough, but to one of the top 3 or 4 clubs? Criminal. He will score so many goals against us I shudder at the thought.
Edin is a head case. We've seen him when his head is right and he's ungodly good. We've seen him when his head is wrong and he's shite.
Either keep and let Pelle have a shot at getting his head right, or sell to Italy/Germany. Lots of clubs would love to get him. So what if Chelsea will give us more. It's worth the financial hit just to not see him coming back to bite us.
Also, not to buy into the "special one" hype too much, but assuming Jose really does want him, shouldn't that tell us all we need to know about Edin's quality and potential?

They don't exist
The most clinical striker in the world is probably Higuain, in terms of shots to goals over last few years...1 in 3
Messi is 1 in 4
