Cavani makes too much sense for that transfer to be true. Wenger never ever does such sensible and easy stuff for us to compete at the top level.

Even the arsenal website is mentioning links to cavani, this will happen...

No way we get him for less than 15 Michus

Think about 12 Michus and 3 Michu wages would do it.

His buy out clause is 51m. So you're actually looking at 25 Michus and one Thomas Eisfeld.

I'm not sure you can ever say paying €60m for a striker is 'sensible and easy'.

If this happens I'll eat my own face.

If 60m can bring us one step closer to success why not?

Because for €60m, I'd expect to be more than one step closer.

Don't think even City would pay that much.

Joking aside, I wonder if it's Lewandowski?

I rate Lewandowski as the more complete top class striker although i think Cavani's game could be more effective if our midfield remains impotent.
Also Wenger discussing a player publicly almost guarantees that there is nothing on that front.

I'd pay that for Lewandowski.

I would prefer Eisfeld to all the shitsters combined!
11 players? Napoli may bite!

We all know they'd sell him for well less than that.

This smacks of lies and deceit.

How?

Wenger can be the manager for the next 10 for all I care if he sings him. Buy him, keep the players we have, add a central midfielder and we're up there with City next season.

I'm not wasting the brain power to think about the how until I see Cavani run out for us. Then I'll figure it out.

There is a real danger of us losing out on CL football for next season of course. Arsenal made £24.5m from the CL when we were knocked out by Barcelona two seasons ago. Doubt it was less last season and it will certainly be more this year and next season.

Getting a player who helps us get to the CL for next year basically pays for his transfer fee, even if it is someone like Cavani. A few years ago it only took an Arshavin, but due to inflation it may take a Cavani these days.
