Edinson Cavani - ST - PSG (43 Viewers)

[JuveJay]

He had a few bad first touches. He ran offside and did not look sharp really. Hulk on the other hand looked absolutely world class, not only did he score he created his own goals and made himself look like a superstar - he made Damaio look useless.

If he had a bad game, fair enough. I'm wondering though if you are not confusing what kind of a striker Damiao is. He's different to Hulk, Hulk can create and score, play up front and wide attack. That's why he is so expensive. Damiao is a proper centre forward, who just needs the ball in the right area.

It's like when people criticise Matri for lacking finesse, skill, dribbling etc, they are expecting something that the player can't do.

Because it's a realistic transfer

Yeah, but there are a lot of transfers that are realistic and shitty. Why do you want him? You're not one of those who thinks Dzeko is cack, right?

No and you're not one of those who thinks Damiao is cack, right?

Just wondering because it would be weird to want him and not Dzeko.

I haven't seen him and I get the feeling that most haven't. But if he's just a penalty-box striker/poacher that is useless outside the area and in build-up play, I don't want him.

 

[ZoSo]

You think Dzeko is realistic?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

You think Dzeko is realistic?

If we really wanted him, we could get him. Damiao, I would like to think is not realistic because his apparent value is way too high, and I would hope Marotta and co. think the same.

But I wasn't talking about what was realistic. I was talking about who we would like. Caracciolo is realistic, but we don't want him, right?

Damiao would only cost about €20m imo. People have to remember Man City paid €37m for Dzeko (not to mention his wages) and they're not going to lose €10m on him in 1 and a half years because 1. why would they? and 2. FFP

I've seen Damiao play for Brazil twice, once against Denmark and the other against Scotland and he was very bad in both those games.

Rumor was that he could be going to Bayern for 20. Sounds unbelievable if you ask me, but I would accept him for as much as 25m.

20m is too much for Damiao. He really only has one good season of scoring (and goals are pretty much the only thing he does, no? Sounds very risky.). And for a Brazilian playing at one of their top clubs, he doesn't seem to get much attention and I've never really heard about him outside of here. You've got to wonder why.

What a terrible thing for a striker to do, score goals

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

What a terrible thing for a striker to do, score goals

Yeah, but if you're useless at everything else, one good season of goals (in the Brazilian league to boot) shouldn't make you worth 20m.

I mean, what's he got that let's say, Immobile doesn't?

 

[JuveJay]

An international cap?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

An international cap?

Heard he was shite then too

P.S. You know what sucks? I saw that he's born in the same year as me ('89) and thought, well at least he's pretty young. Then I realised it's not that young in football terms anymore :depressed

 

[JuveJay]

Dude, I'm 29. Spare me.

As for Damnyo, his scoring record in the Brazilian Serie A is about 1 in 2, it's in the regional championship where he scored like 1 in 1. I'd be suspicious. He's a scorer, but still a risk.

I heard Internacional want US$25m for him as well, so forget that.

 

[ZoSo]

You're all old as fuck

But seriously he's what we need, a goal scorer. If we sign a good RW like Ramirez, Jojo etc we won't need that other stuff from him. Trezeguet certainly didn't have much else.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

He'll be the new Ricardo Oliveira.

 

[ZoSo]

Not with this Juve and Conte

Edinson Cavani’s agent has warned there will be a meeting with Napoli next week, after which he can “be more precise on the future.”

The striker has reiterated he intends to stay at the San Paolo next season after winning the Coppa Italia.

However, there is interest from the likes of Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

“Next week we can certainly be more precise on the future of the lad,” agent Claudio Anellucci told Ilsussidiario.net.

“First of all we have to meet and talk things over. Until I receive new orders, I cannot say absolutely anything.”

Cavani is currently on international duty with Uruguay.

Reports say de laurentiis is ready to sell Cavani for 40m. What a pity if we don't take him.
