Edinson Cavani - SIGNED for United

[UNITED ACADEMY]

If that's the case then would expect us to switch our attentions to Jovic,what's he like in the air compared to Cavani?

Jovic actually 170k p/w currently with Real. Only around 20k-25k p/w difference with Cavani's wages in PSG. He had some controversy last season, broke down the lockdown rule that upset the whole Serbian apparently which didn't get selected in Serbian National team anymore. Not much injuries, only started to pick some injuries after lockdown.

This is tough decision though. Both have massive wages, if we can convince Cavani to lower his demand and tell him that he's not going to be guarantee starter and most likely rotation role but will get good amount of games in CL, he can be much better option since he's a better striker than Jovic. Obviously being injury prone is the big problem.

What makes him too much of a mercenary?

He bought a mercenary barometer from e-bay

 

[horsechoker]

Remember the last player we signed with long black hair?

Actually I don't, was it Falcao?

Zlatan?

Hmmm didn't realise the wages were so close between the two of them,yeah I would say that Cavani is the better striker out of the two as well

 

[Castia]

This has got my blood boiling. If anything it just highlights how clueless we are and is the best explanation of why there's been just one new signing so far.

 

[Rolaholic]

What makes him too much of a mercenary?

I wonder the same thing for a player who's played for just 2 clubs over the last decade especially when the same mercenary accusations where never levied against Zlatan when he joined us

 

[FootyGirl88]

Except he plays nothing like Ole wants to suit his system and would probably demand 250k a week to sit on the bench, not to mention he's completely injury ridden and 34 years old.

What system is that?

 

[horsechoker]

Zlatan?

Oh yeah, I'm ashamed I forgot. Then again, Zlatan probably wouldn't remember me.

 

[DM07]

We will offer him a two year contract at 200k/week. He will flop so bad we will look to sell him next year but since no one would be willing to buy him we will loan him out to some club while paying 75% of his wages.

 

[izec]

5 years too late

 

[Castia]

What system is that?

Well, yeah

But you know he likes the 3 fast paced attackers and Cavani isn't someone we can just leave on the bench he's gonna want a ridiculous wage and expects to play.

 

[Scorpy]

Is anyone else other than Di Marzio reporting this?

 

[Escobar]

Come on Ed, what abjoke if true

 

[JPRouve]

There has to be a lot of mercenaries in Football if Cavani qualifies and is too much of it too.

 

[Judas]

If you play for a club who pays big wages you're apparently a mercenary to some.

 

[pascell]

Do Jovic and Cavani share the same agent? Seems like two clients not gaining any interest so our name is being used to find some interest.

 

[izec]

thats us then

 

[#07]

If this is true (and it may just be Cavani's agent feeding Di Marzio to drum up interest) it strikes me as United realising Sancho isn't coming and seeking a big name to placate the fans.

 

[ZolaWasMagic]

Cavani does not get into your team IMO. Striker is one area Utd do not need anyone

im not sure if AS in Spain reported something re. Jovic and chucked Utd in, and added Cavani into the story, then di marzio tweeted it

 

[limerickcitykid]

I think it’s also because he’s in his 30s. Once you hit 30 and change club you’re a certified mercenary.

 

[croadyman]

We need a different type of striker,got no one who can hold the ball up and also possess aerial presence in the opposition box

 

[DRM]

If you've seen martials past few performances, you'll beg to differ!

 

[FootyGirl88]

I think Cavani has some juice left in the tank still, i think he would be good squad option that would get a lot of games similar to VDB. If we can get him on a 1 +1 year deal it would be good business.

 

[izec]

He was very injury prone the last 2 years. I don't see the point. Wouldn't mind him here for a season or two if he could stay fit. But he has played quite a lot of games for Napoli, PSG and Uruguay, it has taken a toll on him. The type of striker he is, it is quite an important aspect, since he runs around a lot

 

[devilish]

He is more shot then Ole is

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Would absolutely take him on a loan. Would be a shrewd move.

He is a free agent.

 

[Redplane]

Wut? Surely you jest.

 

[Marcus]

Hmmm. Someone to teach Greenwood how to head the ball instead of Ole having to waste time giving individual coaching. Why not? I can see good things coming from this. He would be our Sheringham, Larrson, Ibra.

Yeah my thoughts too

He could also teach Martial a thing or two about movement! I love marital but can you imagine if he had Cavani's movement?

 

[Micky Targaryen]

I, for one, would absolutely love Cavani in our team as a short term signing. Would instantly be the fittest player in the squad.

 

[golden_blunder]

Martial - Cavani
Telles - matic - Bruno - sancho
Shaw - wheelie bin - maguire - AWB

back to 442 again yes please

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

What system is that?

Fluid front three with pace.

 

[Samid]

This is scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel. Would be a bigger fiasco than the pianist.

 

[Rolaholic]

That wouldn't be his role though, he'd be brought in to shore up the bench options rather than to be a starter at this stage of his career like he did in Paris his last year when Icardi and Mbappe were the main no.9's.

You guys have Giroud doing quite well in the same role, we have Ighalo

 

[FrankDrebin]

Going by the vid I posted a page back, its seems Cavani tends to make the hard look easy and the easy look hard.

 

[Andersons Dietician]

To be honest we could do a lot worse depending on the fees. He’s a solid hard working forward who could be great as an option B if we need it off the bench.

 

[RashyForPM]

Cavani does not get into your team IMO. Striker is one area Utd do not need anyone

We do mate. We need an experienced plan B who can hold it up and finish well. Cavani, or incidentally Giroud from you lot, would be perfect. We love Ighalo around these parts for his passion but he’s essentially a fan who’s alright at football. He doesn’t cut it even as backup. In turn, Martial has no competition so has been able to get away with patches of poor form, like the way he started this season.
