Are you guys serious? you honestly think that morata\mandzukic, two players that have failed to score more than 15 goals this season, are better than cavani? the guy scored 81 goals in 148 games - and in most of those games he was deployed as a left winger.
Sure he's getting older, and is not worth 40 million, but he is by far better than these two guys... I like mandzukic but morata already thinks too highly of himself.

Dybala + Cavani = UCL winners
King of lurkers. :delpiero:

Mandzukic is a good player with his particular pros BUT there are cons like speed which is an important attribute
If we had both I assume Lacazette would bench Mandzukic until mid season because:
1. He is a faster player which can provide some great counter attacking plays and with our defense it could prove to be crucial against top teams
2. He is a better finisher - look at his number of goals he scored in the last 2 seasons! I`m not saying Mandzukic is a poor finisher as we all know he is a good one but the difference between good and great is what make you european champion!

To say overall Lacazette is a better player would be wrong as Mandzukic has some qualities Lacazette do not possess but I wouldnt say Mandzukic is better either...
As for Morata - Morata is a better player than both of them but he still cant bench Mandzukic because he has yet to develop his menace finishing skills. He could still do it as he is very young and thats why he is worth that much!
My guess is if he had that great finishing skills in him already he would cost as much as Higuain is rated now

Lukaku for example is rated this high because of his physique and finishing skills - No one would argue that Morata is twice as talented as Lukaku in terms of other skills and attributes but they are still rated at around the same price because those 2 are very important attributes!



Cavani is way better than Mandzukic! He is probably better at everything! As for Morata - He is better than Morata as well but Morata does has the potential to surpass him if he finds a nose for goal!
The thing is Morata is way more talented than Mandzukic yet Mandzukic is the starter - You wouldnt pay 50M for Mandzukic but you might do it for Morata...
For immediate results there is no point denying Cavani is worth 50M and certainly justify splashing the cash
If you look long term there are doubts as you might want to work on Morata and get a great player for many years!

As for Aubemayang - He is a good player but he wont do here what he does at Dortmund!
He is a fast player who can finish but with the defense in Italy he might find it hard here
As for a move to England or Spain - Yes! he would tear them apart! but in Italy you need something more!
I dont think Lacazette is a better finisher than Madzukic at all. He has better stats than Mandzukic only last season and that is while playing in Ligue 1. I cant believe you think lacazette would bench mandzukic but aubemayang wont.

He was great in 1st game for Poland, came of the bench vs Germany


And Mandzo didnt score 20 a year for VW, only when he moved to Bayern and later Atletico did he score 20 or more in all competitions (didnt do it this season either, injuries played a part in that though). When talking about league only, he never scored 20, not even when he played for Dinamo in Croatia
Ah, i see...
I'm talking overall goal he scored, sorry if i wasn't clear.

PSG already lose Zlatan, why would they sell Cavani? Maybe M&M not better than Cavani, but we ain't get Cavani.

except Cavani is not on the market. everyone would be happy if we signed him but that obviously wont happen

Mercato bomb means what?
Big mercato news we'll probably know in an hour or so. Could be anything.

I'm totally off the road.

Can you tell who are our targets and if we're likely to get anyone soon-ish? :)
Alves to take medical soon.
Di Franceso son still to be confirmed. Orsolini too.
Working on Lapadula and Caprari. Petkovic maybe.
Still waiting if Barca will sell Mascherano.
Matic rumours.
Gomes too pricey.
Morata 50/50
Berardi probably staying at Sass another year.
Benatia rumours cooled off.
Mustafi rumours at 15m. I think they can get more.
Cavani to re-sign at PSG most probably.
Immobile rumours.
Kovacic rumours.
G. Jesus rumour but Bayern and Barca want him too.
Mirante may be backup keeper
Ikone re-signed at PSG.
Witsel rumours, roma want too.
no rumours about Lacazette or that Polish mid guy from Sevilla.
Miki wants ManU apparently.
..............
