Falcao & Cavani - Update Thread

Re: Falcao & Cavani - Update Thread

Of course that money hungry ADL wants the whole buy out fee but to be fair if I was in his position I would as well. Good that our interest is definitely real

Cavani is The One, he'd suit us better than Falcao. Fast, strong, endless workrate and stamina... great for a hard working team which is what Pellegrini will want to build.

Why not get both? If Tevez & Dzeko go we need 2 replacements :) Won't happen I know.

@City_Watch: Sky Italy's Gianluca Di Marzio: City today met with Napoli representatives in London to discuss a deal for striker Edinson Cavani. (1/2)

@City_Watch: City want to include a player such as Tevez or Dzeko to bring down the £53m price tag but De Laurentiis would prefer the entire fee. (2/2)

If Di Marzio has said this we should be believing this and only this...

Thank god because I still think Cavani is TOP end for us and would suit us much much better

This meeting also indicates probably that Pellegrini approves of Cavani coming into the fold.

Ooooh... didn't Cavani's agent say something on a recent radio show about Cavani's future becoming a lot clearer this week?<br /><br />-- Mon May 20, 2013 10:06 pm --<br /><br />

From the Independent:

City are also understood to be making progress in their pursuit of the Napoli striker Edinson Cavani, as they seek to make their squad capable of winning back the title they relinquished to Manchester United. But no breakthrough is imminent with Napoli and uncertainty also surrounds the future of Sergio Aguero, which is hampering attempts to settle on a strike force for the 2013-14 season. Aguero’s split from his wife, Giannina, who is installed with their four-year-old son, Ben, in Madrid, has created the threat of Aguero leaving City for the Bernabeu after two seasons in England.

The concerns about Aguero’s intentions have put Carlos Tevez in limbo, with the Argentine one year away from the expiry of his City contract. The sale of Tevez would release £250,000 a week from the wage bill and help City to pay the wages required to make them the most attractive proposition to Cavani. But if City were to lose Aguero and Tevez they would be left virtually to rebuild their strike force.

City are not seeking to buy Radamel Falcao, despite Atletico Madrid’s declaration yesterday that they are selling. Monaco is almost certainly Falcao’s destination. The wait for Manuel Pellegrini’s appointment as first-team coach is also contributing to uncertainty for Tevez, though the creation of a squad for next season is progressing without the 59-year-old.

City have had an active interest in Cavani for several years, though his cost has always been a problem. The representative of the club who first met his agent was quoted €50m, at a time when City were telling agents that the days of them paying overinflated transfer fees to accelerate their progress were now over. He has a £52m buyout clause at the Italian club.

All of us should be happy with either Falcao or Cavani. Both are top class and would be amazing. I just hope that we end up getting one, would be gutted if they both made the opposition stronger.

falcao to monaco city are not interested

falcao to monaco city are not interested

As long as he doesn't go to Chelsea. Are we still set on Cavani ?

 

[Castiel]

I think Falcao is the better footballer, his technique is absurdly good. But Cavani has better physical assets and stamina which complements his work rate. There isn't much between them. Two best pure centre forwards in the world and any team would be blessed to have either.

Totally spot on. Plus his free kicks and long shots offer us a whole new option but so does his pace and so does his heading. The most complete forward in ages.

I prefer Cavani over Falcao, because of this work rate. Aguero Cavani or Falcoe Cavani should be our to possible setups next season.
