Not something we're very familiar with I know, so here's a refresher :

So there I was not wanting to go to sleep incase I missed something and here I am, having read the thread, wishing I hadnt woken up.

The Cavani rumour is truely smoking but seriously has an odour about it. . .as much as we need goals, I cant help feeling that if we were to spunk that amount of money we should do it on tge likes of Felliani, a player who can cintribute all over the pitch, goals, assists and defence and while we are in that neck of the woods, we could pick up Baines. I like Gibbs but he is a maverick who cant defend, we could also find ourselves short at CB and even though I rate Kos he is not having a great season. The Montpellier capt would be fine but I wouldnt mind us going for a less graceful option, say for example Distin, a player who would kick lumps out of RvP rather than give him the keys to the house, just because we used to get on with the guy. . .too nany pussies and not enough balls

Don't worry fella, we are not buying anyone

"We can strengthen everywhere. At the moment, it is more important that the team remains focused. If we find something, we will do it. But I prefer to do business in the summer and have identified players for then."

that should clear it up....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He says something similar every single window.

It's weird that some of you still expect a straight answer from him.

[Newguy]

You two both sound as if you're still hopeful....

I'm not anything, I just find it bizarre that people still cling to his every word.

"Listen, [with regards to] Cavani; Napoli are playing for the title and the Champions League in Italy. What is Napoli's interest in selling Cavani? None, unless you say, ‘OK, we will pay twice the price of what the player is worth'.

"On top of that, all the players who can strengthen us are cup-tied in the Champions League."

So no Cavani then.

[Niall_Quinn]

He would cost £30mill+ so there was never any Cavani. Have a root around the bottom of the bargain bucket, check that city and the chavs or the hammers or crewe alexandria aren't interested, see if there is a sneaky clause in the player's contract that allows him to go on the cheap, make sure the rumour has not appeared in the press, make sure wenger has never mentioned the name - you now have our list of prospective targets.
