I disagree entirely and Napoli is probably the club I watch the most of outside of the Prem. I have also watched nearly every Uruguay match because of Suarez.

Lewandowski > Cavani in terms of "deal" and overall play imo.



Seems we just disagree but it surprises me a bit if you watched Napoli that much. Cavani has scored some of the more impressive goals I've seen in the past couple of years at Napoli in addition to being a nightmare for defenders in his ability to get the Dzeko for Man City-type poacher goals.


Not that video highlights prove anything at all but just to give a sample of the kind of goals I guess I'm always thinking about with Cavani, here's some that came up on google from the season before last:

Isn`t Lewandowski close to half the price?

I posted this a few weeks ago and still stand by it for the most part:

I'd say his value is ~£25m. He's a good player, but I don't consider him world class. His best attribute is either his athleticism or his ability to find the net on late runs. He isn't great on the ball, his first touch has always disappointed me and he isn't too technical. He is strong though.

Regardless, he scores goals. But rarely are they pretty. He's a fantastic poacher at times though, an important trait.

All goals from the 12/13 Serie A season


Now that I think about it a bit more I would probably put his value in between £30 and £35m.

He undoubtedly has scored some beautiful goals, but there are also a ton of scrappy ones to go along with the 5 or 6 PKs he scored in league play last season (in the video).
