Few points about this.
1. There is absolutely no chance we'd consider trying to get Cavani unless we got rid of Carroll. You couldn't play them both together, and we can't afford to have one of them sitting on the bench (which would be Carroll).
2. If Edinson does leave Napoli, he'll be looking for CL footy, which we don't yet have. I'd have said a few months ago that he won't leave them, however with them missing out on CL, I can see quite a few of their quality players getting picked off by teams who do have CL footy this year. Lavezzi already gone, Hamsik will likely follow suit, and others like Maggio and Inler will be tempted by big offers from other clubs. What was becoming an excellent team (Napoli) will possibly fall apart this season if these players leave.
3. He's possibly the most wanted striker in Europe right now (obviously after the likes of Messi and Ronaldo who won't be going anywhere) as he plays for a relatively small team, and his best is yet to come. Therefore I don't think we will be able to compete for him alongside the likes of City and Madrid.
As much as this would be a dream come true for me, it won't happen.
