Has he signed yet?

Keep refreshing arsenal.com but nothing

Irish Independant is linking us with James McCarthy. He's a very solid mid, not world class but better than Flamini and Arteta thats for sure.

McCarthy is interesting. He's had a great 2013, hasn't he? He's one of those guys whose quality Martinez seems utterly convinced about too, which is probably a good sign.

He'd be a good signing, we really need another CM to back up Ramsey.

Yeah I'd be happy with him. Decent technique with some bite

I'd take Stones too

Doesn't it make nearly impossible for us to buy him?

He's been great for Everton, surprised me TBH. I'm still not 100% sure he's worth whatever they'd ask but fuck that as long as we get a good DM that is going to do the job well I don't really care.

Kike Marin** ‏@Kike_Marin_ 43s
@Arsenal Podolski goes to Inter ... and Cavani to #Arsenal??? Wenger already tried his move in the summer. It would be a great operation.

Get in Kike!

Cavani is a fraud. He'll flop here.

Cavani on loan with view to permanent in the summer.

Cavani? He would be a good enough replacement for Podolski i suppose.

would rather sort out other parts of the squad if we're blowing 40-50m tbh

eddie cav is a top top player though

He's taking the number 9.

Might get me a replica ready for the Hull game

This is all the evidence I need. Get in!

We'll finally have this beast front 3:

  • - - Giroud - - -
    Welbeck - - Cavani

Will he finally be the one that stop the number 9 Jinx?

Just heard from reliable sources that his grandmother is an Arsenal fan.

Cavani woooo hooooooo!!! Cavani woooo hooooo!!!!

lol hadn't checked this thread in a while. I'd just assumed it had happened

He looks like a psychic. I'm convinced.

10 days later

He'd be a great replacement for any player we have. I reckon it spells the end for Theo personally if we get him.

I don't think he is even close, but even if he were, his contract is coming up soon. The question is: would you increase the salary of a player who's already on £100K per week, can't stay fit and can't find consistency in his performances? Personally, I would be tempted to let Walcott go if a good bid came in. We rely on so many unreliable players at the moment.

Admittedly, Reus's injury record has been shit lately too. But he has never had any problems in the past.

Theo better than Reus? You've had a mare son.

I'm with Dules in that I think Reus is generally overrated. He's obviously not on Sanchez or Ozil level, so I don't know if he'd "replace any player we have", but he'd certainly add goals to the team, which is what wins you games in the end.

Would definitely keep Theo, with a new bumper deal. Besides, Reus is strongest at LW and this is where Alexis also seems the strongest atm.

Reus is absolutely on Alexis' level. He is significantly better than Theo, that is some serious Arsenal delusion to even put those two in the same sentence.
