I'm sure he will be snapped up at that price then
Cavani is the most wanted player in his position at the moment, Rooney can't even get into the starting 11 at Utd...
Can't really compare them as I don't know enough about Cavani but £38m and £200-300k per week is not a bargain for Rooney. Maybe 5 years ago when he seemed to care more about his football than his hairline.
Just to be devil's advocate - but at least Rooney is proven in the Premiership.
Cavani is still a (slight) risk because he hasnt played in England before (without even thinking about the donkey Chelsea bought for £50m transferring between two EPL teams
) there are a number of expensive imports which have just flopped over here.(I dont think Rooney is worth anything like £38m , but Utd have to aim high - and at least this way, anyone who might be interested knows the ballpart Utd are thinking about. I would have thought £20 - 30m would be accepted.)
Rumours have been floating around that Cavani wants a similar wage packet

Yeah Arsenal won't get either or be very surprised if they are interested
Rooney is proven in the EPL but his proven record of late does not do him any favours. If he was still as good as he used to be we wouldnt even be having this conversation. He is increasingly sliding down hill.
He has already slapped Utd in the face doing his i'm leaving as you arent ambitious enough for me... oh ok you can buy my ambition off me for £250k...
Now he is doing it again because the players Utd have brought in have taken him out of the side. Quite funny really.
Anyway, i think we should be out of the running at that price hopefully. Don't get me wrong I am sure he would improve the team but if we get Higuain I dont see a spot for him in our team.
He just isnt worth the fee and wage.
He was bought in April '12 before we won the CL and at that stage it was by no means certain that we would be signing Hazard & if we didn't he would've got far more game time, injuries permitting of course.
To be fair for the last four or five seasons he has had a steller season followed by a rather average one (just on goals scored) - so next seasion he should be good for 35+
Plus in a new team he may need to prove himself again which should always bring out the best in a player (even if only temporarily lol)

Yeah I agree. If he does move to another team I think he will do well for a period. I doubt he will even reach 20 plus goals again though.

Cavani is the most wanted player in his position yet you don't know enough about him
Deary me.
Latest from the Thiago saga.

Thats amazing. Definitely on a par with the suarez, gerrard and dalglish one.
fixed

Sounds like we are getting rid of Mannone and getting in Cesar. I don't think this is too bad except the big hike in wages that Cesar will demand. But it will be nice to have proper competition for the number 1 spot
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Well as a Stoke fan Mark Hughes has taken the first step to winning me over, we've finally signed a left back, the first actual left back that we have signed since getting into the prem. Dutch international left back for 3 mil seems to be good business, even if he does sound like a bit of a nutter. Some quick wingers to offer an attacking outlet next please..
Thiago or Hazard.....will be interesting to see who comes out on top ( I think its fair to say if Utd had got Hazard its less likely thiago would be so interested in joining)
Admittedly slightly different roles, but not that dis-similar
