Signing for Utd according to the BBC as of right now.

Hope not but probably one of the few who will pay a the wages.

I like him a lot and if they can keep him fit a huge upgrade

Signing for Utd according to the BBC as of right now.

Improves Utd 5fold.

Glad we got Bale instead, injury-prone or not. Much more versatile and more able to change the course of a game (plus we’d be getting Cavani as Kane cover so wouldn’t even necessarily play that much).

Odd that Utd didn’t think to buy a decent defender. Oh well, suits me.

Kane could have played as a 10 with him upfront. Anyway - all academical now. Good player - nice to see him in the Prem unfortunately not in the right club

According to Romano, the agent wants 10 million Euros on top of Cavani's massive 2 year contract.

Sancho has been signing for them since June according to Sky

Sky have to make up news to fill their 24 hour news coverage and reel in the viewers, once something is on the BBC website it tends to have more substance to it.

And right on queue, as I said earlier this week, Rooney in the press saying United should go for Kane.

I don't know who is more embarrassing, United for their part, or the media?

United going for Kane is like Me going for Margot Robbie. Maybe 20 years ago. Not anymore. Levy would make them make Neymar look like a fucking free transfer in comparison.

 

[SpiderSpurs]

Has rejected a move to Juventus whilst a move to Benfica fell through as he wants around £175k a week.

World class player (who is a free agent) and would be a great addition to our squad IMO.

Real Madrid 'consider shock move for free agent Edinson Cavani'

Thoughts?

 

[tommyboyspurs]

would prefer him to sure as I believe cavan can still run at least. good engine on him too

 

[Igula]

I can imagine he has a lot of interest in coming here and being a back-up, but if he is happy to play in that role then it would be a good signing.

But I would take a lot of time ensuring that he is fine with being the back-up and not just saying it thinking he will come in and become the starter.

 

[Igula]

josee can always play a front two if needed. cavanI will complement kane well with his relentless hassling of defenders

Sure but in that case who is playing striker for us in EL/Cup games?

Im not sure either Kane or Cavani are good options to be doing double or triple duty, at least not in the early rounds of both competitions.

get deeney as a third cog on loan then. cavanI or suarez on a free is like winning the lottery. just do it.

Rejects one club because he is looking for a 175k a week deal

Spurs are clearly the obvious next link with our flexible and generous wage structure

He didn't reject Benfica.

 

[Doom Funk]

He didn't reject Benfica.

You said it fell through because he wants 175k a week, surely that suggests they offered him a deal and he turned it down ??

 

[SpiderSpurs]

Clearly declining?!

Haha!

 

[Igula]

Clearly declining?!

Haha!

Yes he is clearly decliing he went from seasons of 48 games and 38 goals and 33 games with 23 goals to a season of 22 games and 7 goals, wasn't extended to stay with PSG for the CL run and is now being linked with such giants as Benfica and the MLS.

If he was a free agent in his prime he would be linked to RM, Barca, PSG, City, United etc.

There is no denying that Cavani is on the decline and not a player at the level of Kane. For him to come in and replace Kane as the #1 striker the likelihood is that Kane is struggling not that Kane is at his peak and 33 year old Cavani is better.

 

[Tomo]

‘Back-up to Kane’

If he plays well/better than Kane and we play one proper striker upfront + Son then why not a first teamer? I don’t get this mindset that Kane is undroppable.

if Kane is off form or coming back from injury yes although I rate Kane better than Cavani. There are not many out and out strikers better than Kane, Lewandowski and that’s probably about it. Kane’s issue the past few years has been injuries and return from injury.

 

[Igula]

Hmm...

Real Madrid consider signing striker Edinson Cavani - Football Espana

You think that RM considering signing him to a cut rate deal to back up Benzema is the same as them fighting to sign him and make him one of the highest paid players in the world like he was at PSG?

Keep living in that fantasy world where 33 year old Cavani is not declining. It is an odd take that makes zero sense but that seems par for the course for you.

 

[Igula]

Oh look, backtracking, There's a surprise...

What backtracking?

Oh look avoiding the actual question what a surprise.

 

[Igula]

You said - if he was a free agent in his prime he would be linked to RM - as you thought he wasn't being linked to the 'big' clubs.

You were wrong (again), take the loss and move on.

Linked to RM as a starter for big money. That is quite a bit different from them seeing that he hasn't signed yet and taking a look to see if they can get him on the cheap.

But keep pushing this moronic idea that 33 year old Cavani is not on the decline when every piece of evidence shows it to be undeniably true.
