Allegedly arsenal won't pay the 50million psg want.

{Ed002's Note - That should not shock you - I have explained it would be an issue - and there is no saying the player would be keen knowing he was third choice.}

I ain't shocked ed I'm a seasoned arsenal fan. Even if we got past the first stage and agreed a fee and opened up talks with cavani we would then Baulk at his wage demands.

It's ok leaving it late and potentially benefiting from a domino effect, but if you do business like we do 24hrs isn't long enough. But a whole window is so I can safely say as a loyal gooner that if we don't get anyone of quality I will be the most disappointed that I have been

50 million quid for a 28 year old who has never played in a top league? I mean there are gambles, there are massive gambles, and then this. I have to say I don't blame Arsenal for not parting with the cash on this one.

If wenger has travelled to paris to attempt cavani deal, and it doesn't come off i won't be impressed regardless if it shows they tried, why not do this last week, or 3 days ago, or 2 months ago? Why is our transfer policy so amateur? Serious questions need asking, we are settling for 4-3rd spot with this lack of player additions.
Absolutly no ambition what so ever. Its criminal how wenger is on 8 mill a year yet refuses to pay wages over a certain amount or meet realistic transfer fee's.
Im a wenger out man, have been for about 5 years, i appreciate what he's done but i think mew blood is needed, i constantly get, 'who would u get to replace him?'.. Somebody who doesn't win a lot of trophys.. There ain't a lack of those about so take ya pick! Martinez won the fa cup with wigan.
Would people say there's more in favour of wenger now or against?
Im hoping he signs a name and makes me look stupid but, i ain't holding my breathe. And 1 signing to appease us is a bit insulting in my opinion. Papering over cracks springs to mind.

{Ed002's Note - Cavani was not first choice - you know that. Bleating about something and pretending to be shocked is simply ridiculous.}

Might not have been first choice ed but was vastly more realistic then benzema. And i'm not just banging on about cavani or any 1 name, i'm talking about the whole set up of our transfer dealings. Why it takes so long, why we dither, why we don't identify targets and go after them early etc.

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal did have targets -it really is not as simple as people realise.}

It's ok that he wasn't our first choice and that footballers now want to be desired like girlfriends do and ain't happy with been 2nd or 3rd choice so what's benzema is he the long suffering wife who's husband hasn't managed to convince his fancy piece to move in with him. Because RM must have known they didn't want to sell him and we were told weeks ago. We need someone to do a job and cavani can do a job.

It's not just disgruntled arsenal fans who think arsenal have fudged up in this window. Professional footballers, club legends , pundits and people in the business

We have missed s trick

{Ed002's Note - This is a very expensive player - one of the best in Europe in recent years. I am getting the feeling you really don't understand anything about the game at all. Certainly you are not seeing the difficulties of the transfer process. The club has targets and works towards those - you just want players signed for the sake of it. Bradley Dack is having a good season at Gillingham, looks like he is going to score a lot of goals - another one Arsenal has missed out on.}

I don't think Cavani will be good enough, can't imagine him scoring too many goals in the prem, like Falcao.
i'd be happy for him to prove me wrong but i can't see Wenger signing him either.

Does it matter if he was first choice? If after a month you can't make some progress with first choice why not move on and give yourself a fighting chance of securing someone rather than last minute nonsense

{Ed002's Note - It might well matter to him.}

I think that is all rather insulting ed. there is obviously a lot of people who don't understand the game then and the average fan on the street will obviously not know what it's like behind the scenes at transfer time. But surely you can understand fans anguish?

I have seen other posters on here been warned for stupiding people. Please try and not be god like. I understand it can be frustrating no doubting that but you obviously do the editing for a reason. I'm sure I will get a draconian reply but just a frustrated fan here that's all

{Ed002's Note - You simply have no grasp of any of this as far as I can tell.}

He hasn't been first choice at psg. But he would be at arsenal if he came

Brow looks like ed is being a bit hard on you, not to worry… I don't understand the inner workings of finance and transfers either as I am a football fan and it all seems a bit tainted. I appreciate your insights in these matters as well, pretty sensible even if I don't always agree.

Ed 2 on the other hand is pretty damn knowledgeable (if not lovable) on these matters without these insights we would be grapsing in the dark so keep on keeping on - i guess.

First choice as in first choice as a transfer target Browgun - not first choice in the starting eleven. Funnily enough, footballers have ego's and emotions just like us and some players may not feel wanted enough if they are being approached as a plan b option. It's not like the Fifa transfer market.

I wouldn't say it's a lack of understanding of the game, as I'd have thought the beautiful 'game' of football is what is played on the pitch but now I can see why Ed002 has asked us fans to steer clear of going too deep into behind the scenes goings on - such as transfers and contracts.

No rooster I agree I do appreciate the eds and there knowledge. That's why I ask when I'm unsure on something and it is also why they obviously are in the ed possition. Just feel sometimes ed02 gets a bit sharp for want of a better word. The site is open to joe public with fans of a shared love of their respective clubs and it's also a site where people share their views and banter on. There was a post on the banter page yes the banter page where stephenbristow wrote "come on wenger get your hand in your pocket" which is a plain in fun comment and mentioned why not get charlie Austin and was then called niave and suggested that he would like us to buy for buyings sake. Just unreasonable response especially when the post didn't have ed do you think at the begging.

{Ed002's Note - Do you often bump in t things around the house? Try not whining and grizzling for a while.}
