Edinson Cavani

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Two year deal too, by the sounds of it.

They’re crazy.

 

[BlueMooner87]

200k+ a week too.

Woodward probably thought "thats cheap"

 

[Dirty Harry]

What's going to happen to Igloo now ?
#prayforIgloo !

The BBC article on this is just pure apologist rag propaganda. Here's some of the sentences they've put together to try and justify the move. No mention of the actual wage, or the agents fee....


It is understood the package on the table does not go beyond the current pay structure, so United feel any comparisons with Alexis Sanchez, who was given a £350,000-a-week contract which he failed to come close to justifying, would be wide of the mark.

They also feel Cavani's age is not an issue and his experience will help develop the younger players in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad.

In addition, senior United officials have not forgotten the impact Zlatan Ibrahimovic had on the club when he joined them as a 34-year-old in 2016.

Don't you just get sick and tired of their ex players coming out with " they should sign this player, that player" etc, and the media lap it all up with their dicks in hand and type furiously to make it the main headline. Cavani is 34 in February, that is one hell of a panic buy, nowhere near match fitness I'd guess as well. They love spunking money up the wall do the rags.

Falcao number 2
Here’s there for Europa cup ties when they get knocked out of champions league

 

[Tb1981]

They are essentially settling for PSG cast offs
Look at Thiago Silva, someone else PSG didn’t want, too old

 

[Tb1981]

£10m in Agent fees apparently, this has all the hallmarks of a Woodward panic deal in the last week of a window.

Ha ha
We may join the panic buying tomorrow!

He's gone to Chelsea

 

[Tb1981]

He's gone to Chelsea

Yes but he is a PSG Cast off and there’s a reason
He’s 36 and will spend half the season injured

 

[Tb1981]

Cavani offered to everyone in Europe over the summer
One club two days to go take him.....tells you everything you need to know
Only problem is we’re no different with left back position!

 

[jaiguruKun]

It's the United way, taking a past it striker on at the last minute of the window as a panic buy!
And when you think of the state of some lower league clubs, the agent's fees being paid out truly are sickening!!

 

[dhruvblue]

Ha ha
We may join the panic buying tomorrow!

Our panic buy if at all would be a LB

 

[Tb1981]

Our panic buy if at all would be a LB

We need to panic
I hide behind the couch every time mendy goes near the ball or try’s to tackle anyone
At least chillwell didn’t have a good debut!

A shambles how we're left to stomach Mendy for another season, hopefully Ake makes that position his own asap.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Looking forward to the lickspittles in the media that threw cold water over Messi gracing the EPL, will warmly embrace the Cavani signing to the RAGS.

i was shocked at the story the agent fees are £10million ??? stinks of 3rd party ownership ? they say he is a free agents and a free transfer ? its crazy

 

[Semper aggressus]

Hope he absolutely flops and is even worse than Falcao.

 

[Andy bluemac]

Ha ha

Ha ha we need to do some ( panic ) buying tomorrow !

 

[mexico1970]

He'll start off well but after a few games settle in to the dross they have there at the present time. It's got Falcao MKII written all over this transfer.
