Still wouldn't believe it mate.. not because he wouldn't want to join the revolution, but because his wages would be too much. Plus he now knows he can't compete with Sess in front of goal.
If you play the Oasis album Deifinately Maybe backwards there is a satanic message confirming Cavani sigingin for Sunderland in the summer of 2013.
Na, I still wouldn't hear of it mate. There's class players that are 'out of our reach' like Giaccherini... And then there's world class players like Cavani and Falcao and unless we offer them 200k a week they wouldn't look twice at us.
