Edinson Cavani

Wenger's comments today have raised expectations further. If he doesn't sign anyone now he'll lose all the fans

Mirth

I'm prepared to believe that we will spend relatively big money before the window closes. It's just not going to be Cavani.

lorddulaarsenal

Good time to spend big

Patters

Wonder what shirt number he'll take.

Gurgen

Why would he come here?

Rex

To get the chance to finally play with Chamakh.

flobaba

He doesn't fit the mold of Arsenal strikers that we've had in the Wenger era.

lorddulaarsenal

Don't think signing him is a huge risk. He will help fill the stadium and improve us. We an always sell him 2 years down the line

Him or jovetic or lewandowski?

Do you mean in terms of stature when we've bought them, or playing style?

watching the actual video of wengers press conference, it does feel like he's up to something. i think our problem isnt that we dont try, its that we struggle to close big deals. we might just be setting ourselves up for more ''we tried to sign super quality, nobody was available blah blah blah''.

Patters

It's all horseshit. This twitter thing has gotten out of control. People should be made responsible for misinformation. And the newspapers should also be made responsible for their stupid stories that appeal only to stupid people (which are the majority). Wenger makes an obvious joke and they take his words literally. I'm surprised they didn't create a story about Arsene wanting to sign Messi after he name-dropped him a few weeks ago. I guess even the stupid majority wouldn't be interested in that story.

His comments about prices generally being high at the start of the window then low in the last week and about 90% of activity taking place in the last week encouraged me more than the cavani comments

I think the whole Geoff ITK business is quite funny 🙂
Somebody tweeted him this a little while ago.

Yeah, same.

As infuriatingly Wengerish as it is for us to risk 10-12 points for the sake of saving a few million, it's somewhat positive on the possibility of us actually doing something - when I has assumed we'd be doing nothing.

The Cavani thing & the Geoff thing are just horseshit.

Playing style.

Well he's said every time he's been asked that we're working hard on transfers, he always qualifies it with comments on the difficulty of finding quality players, particularly in January.
I've never doubted that we're not active in the background but I'd definitely doubt that he's going to end up making a spectacular signing by the end of this month.
If he's waiting for the end of the window and a drop in prices it means signing exactly the player we need is still subject to us getting that player at our set price

Captain

He seemed to be more referring to a 'normalisation' of prices rather than a drop.

y va marquer

"Normalistion" is Wenger speak for a drop (probably of drastic proportions too).
