I remember when United fans were having a meltdown on this forum about how the transfer window went so poorly that the club had to resort to signing Cavani

What a bunch of utter morons.

To be fair, even anonymously, agents will grind their axes and push a narrative.

vyelkin posted:Cavani has been annoyingly good for United. The one thing that's absolutely brilliant about him is his movement in and around the box and his ability to be in space at the right time Strikers like Michael Owen and Fernando Torres died at 27 because their entire game heavily involved being able to run off the last man and also in having knees that bend the right way, but I can see someone like Cavani being able to go for quite a few years yet based on what i've seen from him

The insane part with Cavani is that he's had several games where he's covered most yards on the pitch, his work rate is absurd

cavani has thrived under solskjærball, combining a strong sense of positioning with work rate and physicality of a sort that united sorely needed. martial can be smothered much more effectively than cavani and doesn't have cavani's nose for how to maneuver in the box - that latter also goes for rashford and to an extent greenwood, though rashford has his sublime first touches and greenwood's quick and decisive enough to not really need it that much. martial on form is an excellent finisher, but when that doesn't manifest he doesn't seem to know what to do other than mill around and use his ball control to try and get a penalty he's not that quik anymore, but they've got other quick players. he's not even that good a finisher, he just gets a ton of shots off because he's smart and big and strong. would be hilarious if the glazers ended up signing haaland next season off the muscle-striker model because he's actually a very different kind of player and would probably pulverise both his ankles trying to do what cavani does with cavani, pogba and fernandes man.utd now have three players with excellent vision. it's a legitimately intimidating first XI imo, with the issue being that rashford is made much less effective if you try to get the best out of pogba and lindeguire being rather immobile which means that they can't really do without fred bullying the opposition V.

Man Utd's regulars have played almost 3x as many minutes as him this season so it's not that surprising he's been able to put in a shift when selected.

To be fair to him he had been out of favour for 7 months when he left psg, signed late (after the tottenham defeat) and had to quarantine for 2 weeks when he arrived and then got a 3 match ban for speaking spanish. After newyears he's played a lot more, and has really shown how good he is.

That was the FA's own conclusion. They found that: - Cavani is not racist - What Cavani said was not racist however - Someone who doesn't speak spanish or understand south american culture and lanaguage might misunderstand what was said to be racist, therefor he must be banned.

I was a massive Cavani skeptic as well, given that he had the hallmarks of a Woodward special: deadline day panic buy after a heavy defeat, aging striker with spotty injury record, no proven record in England, enormous wages, and the cursed #7 shirt. Especially after Ole and the club saying for several years that youth was the new focus, and that signing galacticos like Falcao/di Maria/Sanchez clearly didn't work. But Cavani has definitely proved everyone wrong, and our attack is way better for it - we've actually been capable of scoring goals that aren't fast counter-attacks or soft penalties.

on a completely unrelated note, just had mnf clip playing while i was posting that and caught them talking about united buying a striker vs going with cavani/greenwood am i the only one who has a pet peeve of when people say "a haaland, a kane" just say their names, there isn't more than one like them out there, so there's no need to say someone like a kane

They're saying "a Haaland" to specify the approximate class and type of player they're talking about without saying it needs to be Haaland himself. Instead of "a top, top forward" or something which is much more ambiguous and invites the question "like who?" with the answer "like a Haaland or a Kane." There's nothing weird about it.

No, it's weird, but it's just been happening for so long that it's normalized. Cause who else is in that same tier as Haaland? Who else is English and has the name recognition of Kane? They're providing commentary to make it seem like they know what they're talking about, but they watch so little football that they couldn't name someone that United could realistically bring in. You know what would help Arsenal? They need a Messi or a Mbappe to score goals as well as a Van Dijk or a Thiago to stop the other team from scoring.

 Well it'll be interesting to see what Pep does with 3 meaningless league fixtures when there's a European cup to focus on. I hope he goes fully bonkers and plays Ederson as a forward.
