Thus the argument of earning money from Ibra transfer and saving on wages is invalid. Get this through your head, Ibra hater. On top of that, only Van Persie of the three mentioned had led their team on his shoulder and it is not 100% that they could be as good a as Ibra for Milan.
Secondly, until a season where Pato can stay relatively healthy, like play 80% of the games, you can't count on him as your team go to guy. Personally, if you ask me, his muscular injuries are a direct result of his conditioning or lack thereof.
Thirdly, if Milan decide to balance its book with Ibra's money, the remaining strikers are SES, Pato, Cassano, Robinho and Ven if they recall Polaschi. I am really not confident in them, as Pato at max can play 50% of the games, Robino still can't score, Cassano is a question due to his heart, as you never know when that will hit again.
Lastly, if Milan does not reinforce with Ibra's money, what do you think will happen to Silva and Boateng?
Maybe not this summer but sooner or later, they will leave.
Firstly, if someone thinks that selling Ibra and getting another striker (Cavani in this case) is a good option, this does not make him an Ibra hater.
Secondly, Ibra's selling price is between 25-30Mio following the rumours & his salary is 9Mio after-tax. Cavani I believe would be in the range of 30-35Mio & according to the Juve reported offer of 30Mio for 5yrs so 6Mio/yr after-tax. This means a salary saving alone of 6Mio/yr pre-tax (considering that it is always reported that the tax on salaries is 50%). So your argument of Cavani costing more than Ibra is correct but that he will earn more is not even close, so it will eventually end up being pretty much equal cost-wise. Then when you factor in that after 3 years for example, Ibra's selling value would be 0 while Cavani's would be probably at least the same (unless something dramatic happens) then we will obviously be better off financially.... Anyway, WCmilan's argument was not to make money from that business but to basically not cost us anything right now.
Thirdly, Cavani has scored 20+ in the last 2 seasons with Napoli in Serie A & scored 5 in the CL this year like Ibra. So if there is any player who could be considered low risk in terms of succeeding in Serie A, it's definitely Cavani.
Fourthly, the argument was never to sell Ibra & not get a replacement, so no need to argue that we will have to do with only Pato, Cassano, Robinho & SES.
Lastly, and that is a personal opinion which I already posted earlier, you have to compare the full package: Ibra's skill and talent is way better than Cavani & most other strikers out there (even better than CR in my opinion as i believe only Messi is more skillful) but his age, attitude, character, work rate are all against him. He is NOT A LEADER, he does not get the best out of his teammates, if anything, he makes them worse. I'm sick of people thinking we would be crap without Ibra; it's not true. With the proper replacement, we would be better....get this through your head.
