Not really sure it would make much of a difference. Our biggest problem is the lack of a playmaker who could dictate the play. Cavani is a rich mans Mandzu but I dont think it would make much of a difference.
The 50 mio. saved from the mentioned player should have been directed towards a playmaker.
A rich man's Mandzu?
Cavani has scored more goals than any player not named Ronaldo, Messi, Zlatan in Europe over the past 5 years. 5 straight seasons of 25+ goals which reduces the names to Messi and Ronaldo, and he already has 9 this year. Cavani creates goals for himself frequently, something Mandzukic doesn't do.
He would make a huge difference.

We are not lacking in the Strikers department. Morata and Mandzukic are more than good enough for that position. We are lacking in the SS department given that we only have dybala playing that position. I'd have pooled the Sandro, Hernanes, Lemina and Zaza money towards a CAM or added to the dybala money and went for a more finished product
Oh, I agree with this, even though I'd love Cavani here. He'd destroy this league. Having him and Morata as our 2 CFs would be amazing.
I certainly do wish we hadn't bought Zaza, Hernanes, Lemina... That's 40 mil or so right there, and we could easily have picked up a very good CAM for 40-50 mil.
