I don´t understand why most of the people think Cavani is perfect for us. He scores, runs, defends and is hard-working. But we need other qualities, too, up front.
Vucinic, who was thought to be lazy, wasn´t the type of player that many would think "suit" us but he has important technique quality to play a possesion football while Conte has made him to run a lot, too. Cavani, on the other hand for me, is not ideal for this kind of football and the coach is unable to change this quality that he lacks of. I think Curva is reliable but really I failed to believe this case, that Cavani is the player that Conte most wants. If it's ture, it might be a mistake from Conte although he is a coach that I always defend and believe.
We play possession football and pass the ball to each other and our attacking players have very little space. So a lot of technique and class are needed. Cavani is a very good count-attacker. But when Napoli has to face small teams that close on space, he shows a lot of technique defects, like can´t stop the ball well and his passing is poor. He is a better striker than Matri and moves well off the ball but on ball he is no better than Matri. Actually Matri can score 20 goals in a team that doesn´t play possession football (i.e. his season with Del Neri). Our strikers are not world-class but it is also our system that makes them weaker because this systema requires more technique quality while the system of Napoli favours Cavani and it is more centered on speed, resistence, physical attributes than technical qualities and it´s a fact that Cavani is not as good in Uruguay NT.
We need forwards/strikers with better technique quality.
PS: indeed we are the team that has made more shots but most of them are from our midfielders.

A player with good technical qualities can play well in tight space and counter-attack is even easier. While a player who is good in count-attack doesn´t necessarily suits a posession football. Barca dominates the match but they can also seize counter opportunities.
Conte in an interview said: with him as coach we will always play a dominating football and why we have the best defense in the league? He said it's largely due to our possession football which is not just a way of attacking but defending, too. We will have counter opportunities in some matches but in general we don't have so many.
