I'm sure we could get some bundesliga or epl team to take him. It's all about marketing him in the right way, continuously mentioning the fact that he's an Italian international.

Honestly, someone is really gonna have to work their ass off to make a monster youtube clip for amuari & include hidden messages in order for that deal to go through. :D

I think teams want Amauri(Fiorentina) however he's on too much money and teams won't pay what he wants. Secco was an idiot with contracts and wages.

Well we know Secco was a moron in that aspect but Amauri will have to accept his fate. Once we sign players of Benzema & Dzeko's quality then the message should get through that thick skull of his.He knows damn well he's not anywhere near their quality.

I wish we could sign Benzema, Cassano, Dzeko & Suarez at one go, i'm sure Amauri & Iaquinta would shit their pants.:D

I want Benzema :andy2:

If anyone else than Benzema arrive in January (Pazzini), I'll be furious!
Pazzini is showing that he's miles ahead of Benz atm. Pazzini might not be the striker that is hyped up, has 100 youtube clips and non-Italian recognition for his talent, but he'll be a good choice for us. He has shown that he can score, I mocked him and said Cassano made him look good but he can score even without any support. One of the better poachers in todays football.

I mentioned that I thought Cavani was a great striker at the start of the season but got strange looks around here, in fact, most people laughed it off and just said he was a fluke. This guy is the real deal and I'd love to have him here but Napoli won't let him go for a reasonable price, unfortunately.
His rise is suprising, but yes you are right that whenever one brought up he would be decent prospect (squad option), people would exaggerate and say he is terrible or what not just because he isnt proven top player or such. Usually there isnt enough middle groung in judging players, either they are awesome or suck.

That's kinda obvious, shall we compare the two when Pazzini is off form & Benzema is on form? Thing is, Pazzini is delivering what's expected & it's not like he's banged in 10 goals already. I'll wait until he can be consistent with his performances before even suggesting he's one of the better poachers today.

Was he bought by Napoli? I saw somewhere that he is on loan.

Napoli announce Cavani deal

July 17, 2010

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed his club have completed the signing of Edinson Cavani from Palermo, beating a host of big names to land the Uruguay striker.

Cavani has penned a five-year contract at the Stadio San Paolo, with Napoli paying his former club €5 million for an initial season long loan, with €12 million payable over the space of four years

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini claimed last month that Tottenham had made a bid for Cavani, something the Premier League club denied, and De Laurentiis admits he faced stiff competition for the 23-year-old's signature.

"Cavani is a Napoli player," he told Radio Marte. "Other clubs wanted him but we have got him.

"We have been after Cavani for over a month. I was always in talks with Zamparini and I can say that it wasn't an easy deal because behind Cavani there were other prestigious clubs who wanted to sign him.

"But we closed it first, having moved early. Negotiations with Zamparini started before the World Cup, I have read many incorrect things. There were never problems surrounding his wages and image rights. We have already had for a while an understanding with both Palermo and his agent.

"Me and (sporting director Riccardo) Bigon worked side by side, we were calm and we were never worried by all the talk.

"We followed our own path and today we are delighted to be able to give another important player to our fans."

Cavani was unknown when he moved to Palermo from Danubio in January 2007 but swiftly rose to prominence when Amauri left to join Juventus a year-and-a-half later.

He scored 13 goals in 34 appearances for the Sardinians last season, and had an impressive World Cup as he helped his side to a fourth-place finish.

Cavani, who will earn €1.35 million plus bonuses, is likely to link up with his new team-mates on August 2, the same day compatriot Walter Gargano is scheduled to return to training.

Meanwhile, De Laurentiis has promised there will be more big news to come. "Monday you will receive a welcome surprise," he said.
