Edison Cavani's Big Decision
Hi Everyone how are we all ? So lately I've been doing a lot of Premier League based stories but today I want to focus on someone away from the Premier League. Today I want to talk about Edison Cavani a player I really admire and rate very highly. Every transfer window we hear of Cavani's desire to move away from PSG and every year it turns out to be nothing but talk.This year though could be his biggest window ever !
The Situation at PSG has changed with the arrival of Angel Di Maria meaning Cavani at the minute is not guaranteed a starting 11 spot he's always had to be in the shadow of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and play Left wing rather than his preferred striker role but now with Di Maria he's now got someone else to fight the limelight for. At the age of 28 and close to turning 29 Cavani has a huge decisions to make does he stay at PSG and take over from Zlatan or does he leave and go and make a name for himself else were ?
In My opinion there's no doubting the ability that Cavani has and in my opinion he is one of the best strikers in the world. Too long has he gone unnoticed in a team were he is not given the respect he deserves. I believe Cavani needs to leave and start his own legacy somewhere new at the age of 28 he is coming into his prime and at any other club bar maybe Barca and Madrid he could go from Sitting in the shadow of big names to being the big name. Lets no forget this is a player that at Napoli when played as the main striker scored 104 goals in a 138 games this is a striker right unheard of in the Italian league and was a huge achievement plus even at PSG were he is played out on the left he has still managed 69 goals in a 120 games again a record that can not be ignored. It's time Cavani moved on and set down his own legacy this is a player that has the ability to win you titles with his pace and deadly finish now he needs a team that will give him the respect and platform he deserves.
I'm not sure were Cavani will go maybe that's a blog entry I could do closer to the summer as I don't think he will move mid season But either way I think over these next couple of season if he moves we could see him reclaim the hype he once had.
What do you think how highly do you rate Edison Cavani ? Let me no in the comments below
Thanks

Man Utds Window Of Opportunity For Lukaku
So Its 2016 and with the beginning of the year comes the winter transfer window. So get ready it could be an epic. Don't get me wrong the first 8 days have been a little slow but there's still a long way to go and still a lot of teams that in my opinion need to do some business. This season we have seen teams exceed expectation and also fail to meet expectation. You could argue most of the teams in the Premier League need to do some business but today were going to focus on Man Utd.
It's been a very random season for Man Utd filled with ups and downs we've seen them reach the top of the league in November and then by the end of December be 7th in the league but through out it all there's been one consistent theme they need a striker and they need one quickly as Rooney and Martial are there only senior strikers.
So who can they go for ?
Well all season we've seen them linked with the likes of Edison Cavani , Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Harry Kane all fantastic strikers who would add a great threat to the Utd attack but are they achievable ? and how much would you have to pay ? This of course is something we can't really state as fact but we can be sure they would cost a fortune.
As great as the mentioned above strikers are in my opinion the striker I would go for is Romelu Lukaku ? You're probably thinking why ? Well Lukaku is a player that like Harry Kane know's the Premier League and is also used to being played as a lone striker and the focal point of a 4-5-1 formation. He's big strong pacey and most importantly got a fantastic eye for goal.In my opinion he is one of the best up and coming target men in the game and has the potential to go on and achieve similar success to his idol Didier Drogba. Don't get me wrong he will cost a lot of money and he still has a lot of room left to grow but he's got what it takes to be one of the best and with the right team and opportunity we could see him becoming one of the Premier Leagues greats.
What do you think who should Man Utd sign let me no in the comments below

Is There To Much Money In The Premier League ????
For anyone that has read my previous blog entries you will no that normally I Like to talk about Signings and make season predictions but today I want to talk about Premier League Spending and how its getting out of hand. Now I no you're probably going to read this and point out two points
1- I'm Man Utd Fan so I can't really call out other teams for crazy spending
2- This Transfer window is not necessarily going to be a record breaker in terms of money spent
There fair points don't get me wrong but let me explain my concerns and thoughts for the current state of the transfer market
I think my main concern for how spending is going this season is it's not how it used to be before 5 years ago teams like Man Utd and Chelsea and the other big teams were still spending 30 million on players just like they are today the difference is now the smaller teams in terms of finance are spending nearly as much not just on transfer budgets but on wages. Now I no this is due to the huge amount of revenue teams are making from Television rights and it's great that every team is now making a lot of money as it builds up competition but it comes at a price and that is the damage it does on the market.
Now you're probably thinking well what is it you're talking about what damage everything's great in the Premier League But in my opinion there's a worrying trend starting to take place. For example Championship teams are starting to spend 8 million to 10 million on players like it's nothing and teams like Crystal Palace and West Ham are giving players contracts on £100,000 a week now there's nothing wrong with doing this if you can afford it ' its fine but what it does do is then inflate everyone else all of a sudden if you play in the Premier League your price tag is double what it really should be and if you're English then you're value more than triples. A good example of this is Alessio Romagnoli he's basically Serie A version of John Stones a good young defender with a lot of promise and like John Stones will probably be one of the best he moved from Roma to AC Milan the difference being AC Milan payed around £17 million for him were if you want John Stones you're going to pay at least £35 million why ? Because he's young and plays in the Premier League, if he played in Italy would he be this valued ? No he wouldn't. Money is getting thrown around the Premier League like its going out of Fashion and all the teams are guilty of doing so my advice to any Manager would be buy abroad its cheaper because if you want a Premier League Player you're going to pay an awful lot. Although Other Leagues are catching on when a Premier League team bids for a player from Germany or Spain they no they can get more money for them and I don't blame them Premier League teams are splash cash right now and the teams from other leagues no they will pay.
Overall I think the value's in the Premier League have gone insane and it's something that needs addressing because at the moment its going to increase so much that the standard Premier League player will cost insane amounts.I don't know what we can do to stop the trend but I think it needs looking at before it gets out of hand.
Let Me No What You Lot Think

So It Now Looks Like Pedro Is Going To Chelsea !!!!
So anyone that read my last blog you will probably be laughing right now as it's all about Pedro joining Man Utd !!!! Well it now looks like he's joining Chelsea and is teaming up with Mr Jose Mourinho a once fierce Rival when managing Real Madrid. I'm not going to lie this is kinda of rubbish for us Man Utd fans don't get me wrong Pedro wasn't every fans first choice but he was the most realistic one and is a world class player. Putting My Personal feelings aside though will he fit in at Chelsea ?
Well Pedro is the kind of wing forward any team would put in there squad he's hard working pacey and built with a philosophy to play for the team he can score goals with either foot and loves to get assists he really is a top quality winger he also tracks back to help his full back. He is similar to a player Chelsea already have which is Willian a player I really Rate and admire the only difference I would say is Pedro Scores a few more goals notching up an impressive 73 goals and 41 assists in his 259 games for both club and country that shows that he has an input in a goal in nearly every other game. Plus he's a big game player scoring in numerous finals.
like all transfers thought this one is not without risk and if it does go through Pedro will have to adapt to the League and the teams tactics something that has been proven difficult in the past Mourinho demands a lot from his players and doesn't accept anything but excellence Pedro is going to have to work hard and be prepared to battle the likes of Willian Oscar and Hazard for a starting role he won't have as much of a guarantee at first team football like he could of had at Man Utd however with Chelsea challenging on all fronts he will have plenty of games to step up and prove his worth.
I feel the real interesting question is why are Chelsea signing Pedro ? I'n My opinion its not necessarily the signing they need as I do believe there wingers are one of there strongest area's however it's still a great signing to make plus it's going to give everyone involved with the club a big boost specially after there faulty start to the new campaign. Unfortunately it does make me worry for Oscar's chances of a starting line up which is upsetting as I really like Oscar he's a quality player. My Theory is that Mourinho is signing Pedro and will start him thus shifting Eden Hazard into the number 10 role a position that he is reportedly meant to enjoy more than the left wing. There's no doubt Pedro will offer Chelsea a new dimension and its another great signing to add to the ranks but is it what they need ? Only Time will tell plus we should never rule Chelsea out.
What do you all think let me no in the comments below :)

Man Utd On The Verge Of Signing Pedro !!!!
So anyone that watched Man utd on Friday against Villa will no if there's one last thing there lacking its a pacey winger that can get a bagful of assists and goals Memphis can fill that void but he's a little more Individual and has more of a Cristiano Ronaldo edge to him rather than a winger like Willian who is an overall top quality team play winger.
So to counter this void that they have Man utd seem to be wrapping up the signing of Pedro Rodriguez for a very smart fee of around 22.5 Million from Barcelona. This is a move that will really give Man utd an edge and make there 4-5-1 formation a lot more penetrative and will give them a chance to play a higher tempo game plus the thought of Memphis Mata Rooney and Pedro up front is mouth watering and one that on there day will trouble any defense in the world.
What will Pedro Bring and what are the Risks ?
Well Pedro is the kind of wing forward any team would put in there squad he's hard working pacey and built with a philosophy to play for the team he can score goals with either foot and loves to get assists he really is a top quality winger and also tracks back to help his full back in my opinion he is like Chelsea's Willian a player I really Rate and like the only difference I would say is Pedro Scores a few more goals notching up an impressive 73 goals and 41 assists in his 259 games for both club and country that show that he has an input in a goal in nearly every other game. Plus he's a big game player scoring in every in numerous finals.
like all transfers thought this one is not without risk and if it does go through Pedro will have to adapt to the League and the teams tactics something that has been proven difficult in past you only have to look at Angel Di Maria a quality player and still a quality player but he just did'nt suite Man utd or the Premier League (although I do Wish him well). only time will tell if Pedro will be the same in the Meantime I eagerly await his Supposed arrival and if he does sign I look forward to seeing what he can do.
