Edinson Cavani is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in
the world at the moment. In just two seasons, the 25 year old Uruguay international
has scored an astonishing 66 goals for Napoli. He is strong, well-built and
powerful who can quickly step it up in the Premier League just like Aguero. His
areal ability is fantastic, technically gifted and has a good pace. One great
thing about the Napoli ace is that he is the man for the big match just like
Didier Drogba and this has made him a cult-hero in Napoli. When Chelsea played
them in the champions League, we all saw what Cavani is capable of and against
Manchester City; he showed the Citizens who a top striker is.
To me, there are 3 main reasons why I think the capture of
the ferocious striker in the ilk of Cavani would be great for the team:
(1)
Cavani would offer the quality depth needed by
every top club to Chelsea. Since the departure of Nicholas Anelka- a one-time
goal king of the EPL with Chelsea, Salomon Kalou- who offered the need depth to
our striking options and the last but not the least, the Legendary Didier
Drogba whose departure will leave a “gaping hole” (according to Ray Wilkins) in
our team. We can choose to play ostrich and pretend that all is well with us
because we have the almighty consistent and European golden boot winner Fernando
Torres, the selfless Daniel Sturridge and the new Didier Drogba, Romelu Lukaku.
To be frank to ourselves, if we compare our three centre-forwards to City who
have Aguero, Dzeko, Tevez and Balotelli can we match them? City showed the
whole world the need to have a quality depth of players when Dzeko and
Balotelli helped them to win the EPL against QPR as substitutes in the last
minutes of the game. Even United can better boast of quality depth up front
with Welbeck, Chicarito, Berbatov and Rooney. Madrid has Benzema and Higuain so
there is no need of creating a monopoly for Torres in our team. Besides, it
will keep the team refreshed always and offer competition which is good for
every team including Chelsea.
(2)
It will give us tactical options and variety in
our team. We can choose to play two centre-forwards without compromising the
strength of the team and not only stick to the one-top formation. Imagine a mouthwatering
combination of Torres and Cavani against opposition defenders. I believe this
combo can be effective with Cavani since he excelled with Lavezi in Napoli.
(3)
Finally, Cavani is a prolific striker who has
proven himself consistently in a top league like the Serie A. He is the sort of
striker who at the age of 25, is at his peak and primed to hit the ground
running when we sign him.
So there it is, Cavani to Chelsea
will continue to gain weight until there is a confirmation by both clubs. Let
me remind you that it can take the usual twins and turns of the crazy transfer
season just like that of Hulk which I am getting fed up of it but trust our
owner Roman and his sporting director Michael Emenalo to pull the surprise all
the time. In Roman we Trust!

ReplyDeletewe are waiting he i a good signing
ReplyDeleteBrilliant thought. If we have Cavani, that should be great. But if we cannot sign him, please use Sturridge instead. If he is not selfish, he can be a very good striker (Torres's backup). (maybe we can take a risk with Lukaku who may play some games at Capital Cup, FA Cup or PL).
ReplyDeleteIMO, we really need a good right back (Ivanoic's backup). We may miss out Maicon. Frankly, I don't want our club to buy a young RB because I want them to develop our youngsters (Hutchinson, Kane). But Hutchinson is injury-prone and Kane is too young. It's very interesting to see our club make their decision which should be wise :D.
Cavani is the best option we have got.
