Look this is a guy who is not an automatic starter for his country. He played well for napoli, OK.

But had you heard of him two years ago.

I had heard of Kun, Silva, Yaya, etc way before they turned up. It's not as if he is a youngster either.

We are now at the stage where I believe we will only be buying top quality and probably young.

So you need to ask who are the best players in the world in midfield and defence around the age of 24/25?

Not an automatic starter for his country? Must be shit.
He only has to contend with:

Messi
Aguero
Tevez
Di Maria
Higuain
Gaitan
Palacio
Lopez
Milito
Lamela

I would go for a

Sirigu

Jallet Alex Bisevac Maxwell

Matuidi

Thiago Motta

Menez Pastore Lavezzi


Gameiro

You'd leave out their best player?

Well it's true Nene would probably take Menez place.

Younger and better out there

Such as?

far better than bale and hazard if that's who you have in mind.
You think lavezzi is better than bale or hazzard

Definitely.

When it comes to ability he's not much better than bale but he is far more consistent.
As for hazard, he's never played against a good team, he's completely unproven. Even in the french league hazard just looked decent.
Lavezzi looks excellent consistently in the Italian league and even proven himself against us.

Bale is five years younger than Lavezzi and should be a better player in 5 years time than Lavezzi currently is.

Yeah I agree, I think at the moment Lavezzi is the better player but Bale edges it because of his age, premier league experience and attitude.
 
Lavezzi is close to a PSG move as PSG offered €26m. Napoli are adamant though on a full €31m to fulfill his release clause.
 
Reading on twitter that he's off to PSG for 27.5million euros and Napoli will get all money from a Napoli v PSG friendly.
 
Might mean Canavani might not want to hang around - sooner hm than RVP - much younger

His info about italian football is usually spot on.
 
Not sure if we were really ever in for him, but at the minute the prices being banded around for our so called targets are too high.

Falcao - £50m
Thiago Silva - £50m
Lavezzi - £32m+
Cavani - £35m+

But it is not just the actual signing fee, but the wages being demanded now by players that can take you over the threshold for the FFP. Chelsea though don't seem to be worrying about this!! It will be interesting to see what happens.

We first need to get rid of the dead wood, and quicker rather than slower. If we can offload them asap than at least we know what we have to work with in terms of bringing in the players we do need and on what wages.

2 signings I would get done now for me would be Javi Martinez from Bilbao and i would also take Sneijder from Inter.
