Lavezzi is under contract with Napoli until June 2015 and has a release clause of 30million euros (£26.8million).
Napoli, like City, will play in next season's Champions League.
Now we have manager's agents talking about transfer business!
Bob should tell him to shut his fucking face.

Not seen much of Lavezzi. What can we expect if he does sign?

Hes no Tevez and I wouldnt say he was worth his release clause. But Ive seen him play for Napoli a few times in the Serie A, hes quick and good with his feet and is one of them players "like Tevez" that gives 100% for 90minutes, constant running on and off the ball. Never seen him actually score though.

He is exactly like Tevez as a player. Only much MUCH worse.

In his past 4 seasons he has scored 6, 8, 7 and 8 goals respectively for Napoli. Hardly a profilic striker.
Who said he was a prolific striker?

Thanks for clarifying that mate! It also makes his stats much better then. I always thought he's striker but then again I don't watch much of Italian football anymore

Lavezzi's role is not exactly clear even to me who watch Serie A regularly; on paper he's a striker, but in the system Napoli plays, with a lone real striker which is Cavani and two players behind him being Lavezzi and Hamsik, he doesn't play as a striker, but not as a winger either as he often plays in the middle of the park, just off the lone striker. He plays as if he were an attacking midfielder just like Hamsik, but then again, while he's creative, very pacey and thus quite dangerous in the final third of the pitch both for scoring and creating chances mainly for Cavani, he's not a traditional playmaker.
