That's the optimistic view point, yes. Fingers crossed.

Alright big man, I will surely take your highly sophisticated pieces of writing into account and will hang my uneducated head in shame.
Now that I’ve gotten all my annoyance out of my system, I think it’s time to embrace the Cavani transfer.
I’ll bet anyone he scores 3 times as many important goals as Larsson.
If you say so.
We shouldn't be paying even a third of 10 million to his agent, what are Cavani's other options?
Seems like no top club is after him so it's either us or the MLS/Qatar route.
not me, Romano.
I have no idea of the offers he has received, nor do you. Stupid to speculate.
Not really stupid when tomorrow is the last day of the transfer window. Cavani would not still be available if he had offers from other top clubs that satisfy the ridiculous demands of his agent.
It’s 7:25am
Life = having a kip between midnight and 7.
No life = on redcafe all night
Looks like the club are damned if they do and damned if they don't at this stage.
Absolutely they have made a pig's ear out of a silk purse this window but this is a position that the club have done the right thing.
- Signed a player with a proven track record
- Can score goals,
- Offers a different kind of play,
- Will not damage the development of Greenwood, Rashford
- Upgrade on departing Ighalo, so no panic buy or recruitment in January.
I see a lot more positives than negatives with this transfer
That still doesn't mean we have to do a deal with our pants down.
Dear me... Look if we really had planned to bring Cavani and he was a player we really wanted we would have signed him then, not left him there for the taking until the last day of the transfer window.
According to you we left him on the market to save 1.7M, risking another club to swoop him (makes no sense if we really wanted him). Or there was never a risk for this since no one but us would be stupid enough to sign him.

Anyone seen him regularly in his last two seasons at PSG? Any noticeable decline in physicality? Personal opinion is that he has always been dependent on his good physical abilities, and if these are gone, then he is not close to being the same player.
Dependent on wages, agent fees and his decline or lack of decline physically, this can either be a good or bad transfer.
Glazernomics it certainly makes sense. Rather than paying £30m for a decent attacker + wages, they pay around £10m? per year in wages + agent and sign-on fee (£10m total?) for a highly known player that will sell shirts and be useful in commercials. Don't know about his usefulness on the pitch though. Smells of Sanchez to me, but hope it is only a 1+1 contract with only the club having the option to extend for one more year.

Remind me how many Larsson scored plz.
Important goal?Something like four
A goal or assist every 120,4 minutes for the easiest team in the world to play as an attacker in the league for. I wouldn’t call it impressive. Even Choupo-Moting had goal involvements more often.
Not bad in his seven starts.
Next....
I’m still waiting for you to say who you would have brought in this window? Don’t think you’ve answered anyone’s questions in response to yours, just tried to shout down anyone who might think this is a decent short term signing.
Also you say play Rashford or Greenwood as CF if Martial is injured, who do you play in their positions? Lingard? James? Personally I think Cavani at CF and Rashford and Greenwood in their positions is much stronger than the alternative. Answer my questions or stop responding to me, I really don’t care.
Sophisticated pieces of writing? It’s a football forum, I don’t come on here to spend time writing sophisticated responses to you going overboard with the negativity if things don’t pan out the way you wanted. It’s your choice to jump on the media campaign to spin everything as negative as possible and believe everything you read on the Internet about deals they have no idea about what is being discussed. Fill your boots pal. I won’t live my life that way.
I’m sure nearly everyone is underwhelmed about our transfer window, we have glaring holes in the squad but that doesn’t mean we can’t improve on other areas if we think it’s the right thing to do.
If this is really a Woodward signing that Ole didn’t want, he should refuse to play him.
Who has a lot of depth there though? Greenwood is fantastic, he adds to the attacking play and has a very good chance of getting 20 plus goals from the wing this season. Im all for signing Sancho but it has to be at that level to displace Mason. Its not a get any RW at any cost situation since we have one of the brightest prospects in world football playing there right now who will only get better.
Our front 3 plus Cavani is as good as depth as anyone outside of City have right now and we have seen how depth isnt the be all and end all with their results over the last 18 months. If they didnt sign Mharez and Silva then Sancho and Sane would probably be there right now and theyd be better off.
We dont need 2 or 3 top players behind our front 3 to be successful
Important goal?
none.
Went well.
Has anything reputable come out regarding wages?
I love how you're trying to wind me up by saying I haven't answered any questions when it's the exact opposite and I have stated my fully detailed opinions a few times already.
I can't be bothered to keep writing the same things, mate, if you want to, you can read back my comments and see exactly what I would have liked the club to do. It's your choice if you want to engage in a serious conversation, I always treat people the way they treat me so if you had shown respect to my thoughts, I would have done the same for you. It's really simple.
To be fair, allegedly Ole would have had a veto.
Willian and Perisic weren’t too old after all
I'm not against signing Cavani but it just stinks of the usual panic buy at the end of the window from the club after failing to meet objectives all summer. Totally indictive of the shambolic way we are run.
Haha, your thoughts last night didn’t deserve any respect.I love how you're trying to wind me up by saying I haven't answered any questions when it's the exact opposite and I have stated my fully detailed opinions a few times already.

I read a few tweets under the Sky article, there must have been about 700 tweets and not any of them were positive towards our club.
Other fans just taking the piss “banter club” and the like. it’s a real pity because we used to be the envy of the football community now we are a laughing stock.
Because they're over 21 and the four other guys aren't.
Then feel free to ignore me or expect me to talk back to you in the same manner. Your comments haven't really been a revelation of insightfulness.
Talk back anyway you want, but if your not going to answer my questions there’s no point.
Your post doesn’t fit the narrative for the rubbish that’s spouted on here since last night .
Hes not a 9 yet and Sancho is a player you go for if you can. It doesnt mean Mason needs replaced out there.
How anybody can look at his performances and think we need a solution to the wing is just beyond me. If he played for Wolves with those performances we would be proclaiming him as a must get messiah the same way we are Sancho.
There seems to be a Sancho or doomed mentality going around which just doesnt fit into the reality we have. Our RW is more than capable of scoring 20 plus goals and theres posts about not being a winger? Well hes not a winger. Hes an excellent inside forward.
Think you jumped in the middle of a longer exchange, so you've taken the post out of context. I claimed that this transfer was a panic buy and my point was that if we really wanted Cavani all along we would have gone for him sooner and not left him on the market until the last day, leaving a chance for other clubs to potentially sign him.
Yeah, well I definitely answered everything that you are trying to portray that I haven't. I replied to you and other posters as well, I don't have to repeat myself or we end up going in circles, debating the same shite every day.
Touchè
Can't remember a signing I've been less excited about. Including Ighalo.
