Compare it Traore at Villa, we’ve paid in the region of £17m and then £75k a week. Cavani 2 year total: £21.8m Traore 2 year total: £24.8m Yes Traore will likely have some sell on value (unless he completely flops), but won’t bring as much money or increased profile into the club. Cavani has dined at the top table for over a decade and there’s little doubt he’ll cut the mustard. United have done this kind of thing a few times with reasonable success. Sheringham, Owen, Zlatan.

PussEKatt Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 There was a manager a few years ago that only bought older players and he kept ( I think it was Bolton ) in the top division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspected this might be the case otherwise more clubs would have come in for him. It might explain why United have waited till so late in the window, maybe the fees are coming down.

The_Steve Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Almost 10 million euros on agent fees is a madness. But I'm sure United will get it down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there must be some wiggle room. If Cavani is out of contract he’s missing out on about a million every month he’s clubless. It shows how broken football is when the inhibitor to signing a player is the agent who is paid to make the deals happen. Its easily fixed, make agents be paid only by their client. Problem solved.

No wiggle room for United. Shows their desperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Surprised they want a new CF. Martial and Rashford both had good seasons last year and Greenwood is being described as generational talent who wasn't far off 20 goals so that's three options for the main role right there although Rashford better out wide of course. When you look at Man. United's problems it's De Gea not being good enough anymore for top level but his reputation is making it difficult for them to drop him, Lindelof being mediocre at CB and they can't get the right balance in central midfield with Pogba fit again. Cavani has been a very good striker but feels a luxury signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Cavani probably has enough goals in him to fire Utd to safety though, don’t they say relegation costs £100m? Bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I must say, the Leicester Board should be arrested for robbery for getting 75mil for Maguire. Absolutely mugged Man United with that price. Hope for his sake the lad can defend himself better when he drops the soap in Greece... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
