There are maybe 10 players in the world who are less realistic targets than Cavani..FinnGooner said:Now that we supposedly have money to spend in January:
James Rodriguez or Stevan Jovetic
Luiz Gustavo or Lars Bender
Edison Cavani
These are realistic targets and yet none of them will ever happen!

When Cavani eventually leaves Napoli, it'll be for an astronomical fee, I'm talking 40-50m. We wont ever pay anything remotely close to that for anyone, unfortunately.FinnGooner said:Wouterus said:There are maybe 10 players in the world who are less realistic targets than Cavani..FinnGooner said:Now that we supposedly have money to spend in January:

Why? He is on 40k/week or something so we could easily triple his wages. He has indicated that he would like to play in England at some point and surely City and ManU won't go for him as they are stacked with forwards and with Chelsea going after Falcao, we could have a shot. Not gonna happen, though, but I don't see Cavani as an impossible target. If we can afford to pay Diaby 60k/week for Aquajogging, we can pay Cavani double for playing football.
Sure, sounds good even. Loans can achieve the same thing too. Just didn't agree (or think possible) about tearing up contracts early.DJ_Markstar said:I don't know anything about contract law, but surely there is some solution.AnthonyG said:I highly doubt you can just rip up someone's contract and get out of paying him the full amount. These contracts are guaranteed I would've thought, various clauses notwithstanding.
For instance, if Squillaci is earning 40k here a week here, and has 2 years left on his contract (=£4m in earnings) could we agree to pay half of fee up front (£2m), with another team then able to take them on straight away? That means that even if he drops his wage to 25k at the new club, he'll make £4.4m in the period he'd have earned £4m in otherwise.
This way, the player could potentially earn more, we could pay less in wages, we're rid of the player and a weaker team gets use of a solid defender who just happens to not be good enough for us.
