Lumma, here's the article I was refering too about Cavani in my previous post.
EXCLUSIVE: Show me the money! Chelsea target Cavani demands £150k-a-week deal
Edinson Cavani will demand parity with Chelsea’s top earners when he reopens talks with the European champions this week.
The Uruguay striker’s representatives will tell the London club he wants a pay deal worth £150,000 a week, which would put him on a par with John Terry, Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres.
Cavani, who can leave Napoli for £35million, is one of the options being considered by Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo as he looks to fill the gaping hole left by Didier Drogba.
Once the capture of attacking midfielder Oscar is complete, the Blues will look to complete two more deals — expected to be a centre forward and a right back — before the transfer window closes.
Cavani, 25, who is also on the Juventus wanted list, has been watched by Chelsea for some time and scored against them in the Champions League last season.
Chelsea are also exploring moves for Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao and Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain.

Maybe, but he seems to be coming into his prime. He's only 25, so you arent paying tons for a player who is past it. His stats over the past few years just get better and better, and in a team like Chelsea with a lot of creativity behind him, he could be a goal machine.

09-10: 34 appearances, 13 goals
Napoli
10-11: 35 appearances, 26 goals

Some video of Oscar. His playing style looks like Kaka's in pretty much every aspect.

I was talking to Ludas, we were trying to have a "live" conversating, but then you appeared from somewhere...
