Re: Cavani, let's get either him or Zlatan this summer. Confident PSG will sell one of them.

Was talk about the prospect of PSG paying Zlatan out.
TBH I don't see either AW or Ibra looking to work together,
and whilst he has the size & strength to do so I don't see Ibra limiting his game to play as fulcrum for non scoring ball players,
and I don't see a position for him akin to DB10 whilst we have Ozil as playmaker.

PSG owner has said he won't be sold this summer, doesn't seem like the type to go back on his word either!

PSG has no reason to sell Cavani. Center forwards are incredibly scarce and Zlatan is in his mid-30s. I'd like a CF but it doesn't seem like there's anybody on the market. A South American from La Liga maybe, but we'd run into work permit troubles...

I think work permits are automatic for signings of above £10 mm under the new rules right?

Cavani bounced back nicely in 2015. Happy for him. He got a lot of abuse from people who had prematurely dug a hole and ordered suits, flowers and a headstone. He's the business. I'd still go as far as 40m pounds to test their resolve, and maybe even a little more. It's not like the world is overflowing with talent of this level. I always look back to United. 3 years ago they paid 25m for van Persie. They got one season out of him, but that 25 goal season won them back the title in Ferguson's final year. I'd put up with the shit they've dealt with past two seasons for that title
