Fernando Cavenaghi

[Gazza]

Been watching him for the past year or so for River and he would be a great addition to our squad imo. He's already 27 though, so its unlikely to happen, but if we dont manage to land any of the big names touted, I would recommend this fella. D'Alessandro would have to be included in the deal though.

BTW before anyone asks he is another South American.

Step aside the OT scouts! We have Gazza and Raoul watching South American footy on telly in the states.

Checked his record. Wouldnt be a bad signing. But is'nt his style of play similar to Forlan <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

I've been watching him too, for the past year. He's certainly got composure in finishing.
Do you think D'Allesandro will survive to make a transfer, every game they're out to get him?
And Rivers' new RB/WB looks a good young player too, Domingo I think his name is.

Err, you sure ? The site I checked lists his birthdate as 1975. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

No, I believe Cavenaghi is more of a goal poacher who thrives inside the box, while Diego isnt really a target man. Both could score goals over here if given the chance though imo.

I recall when he first appeared las year they said he was 18.

 

[Gazza]

Yep its true, just checked elsewhere and he is indeed 19. Even better, we should snap him up.

Probably confused him with Cardetti who is ~27.
