Hi everybody! I´ve just read the last posts, and I have only 2 things to tell:
1) Cavenaghi won´t be sell to Boro. It´s a small team, and the player won´t leave River to go to a team like that. The player is OK here, people and teanmates loves him, and his not going to ruin his career trying to learn the english way of life. He has italian blood and italian passport, and he will go to Italy. But no to Regina or Modena or a team like those. He will choose Juve, Roma, Milan or Inter (but Juve has some advantages, like a pre- arrangement or the Salas matter). If not, he will move to a big Spain team like Barcelona.
Look, guys: this is our last jewel. Argentine young players are cheaper than ever, but we won´t give him away. He has been receiving offers of teams like Boro and Dynamo for the last 2 years. But now he is a better player and he costs more.
So, here the press is talking about one sure thing: before June, River won´t be able to retain Cavenaghi. The offers will be good, the player is out of category at the argentine league and he wanna be at the national team. But remember, he is not desperate to leave River...
2) About the "loan matter": if the player or his agent knows that he will be loaned to another team, he will choose another team. That´s the truth with players like him. By the way, congratulations for the Kaka´s example. He is a special talent now that he has proven it, but it wasn´t when he arrived to Milan! This is the same, ´cause cavenaghi has the same potential. U must buy the player, training him with the great players u have, prove it, and then, if he doesn´t "adap" to your team, loan him.
But believe me: this kid is in the same category your players are. Here in River we have had a lot of great players, but he is in the same class than Crespo, Aimar, Saviola or D´Alessandro. He is a "pure River blood".
We can talk in an year and u see.
HUGS to everybody.
