He broke his transfer price structure last season for Ozil, because he was desperate and realized we needed a signing. I am sure if he gets enough pressure he will break his wage structure for one player.
Many of the names I mentioned are upgrades on Giroud, and although some are out of question, the fact is that there are players out there in different teams and leagues, and it isn't just a case of 'Cavani or nothing'.
Why is Falcao out? If Madrid do go in for him that should mean we could get Benzema.
Also, Eto'o is a free agent, he wants £100k/week but if we do sell Podolski maybe we should pick him up?
If Juventus get Podolski, we could make the deal so that we have the option of buying one of Llorente, Giovinco, Tevez in return.
We could also look at Aduriz, Cerci, Insigne, Negredo, Dos Santos, Higuain, Lavezzi, Remy, Lacazette, Aubameyang, Firmino, Berardi, Rossi.
If Wenger actually dips into the Italian pot he has so many options, but he refuses to.
Eto'o did not show anything last season that suggests he is worth his significant wage, including at the WC.
Juventus would not let Llorente go, Tevez and Giovinco would not fit into our system at all.
The bottom list of players is full of ones that would be available, e.g. Negredo/Higuain/Aubameyang/Insigne, or just simply not worth it e.g. Rossi/Dos Santos. Remy would be possible but he's not a striker that takes a team to a league win.
I was wondering why he is on my ignore list (apparently). I certainly didn't put any "lucio" there. Makes sense now though (still weird though doesn't usually happen with dupes does it?).

Fair point but he is better than nothing, and most likely better than Sanogo.
Why wouldn't they? After buying Morata they have an abundance of strikers, so I can see us getting one of them in return for selling them Podolski. And again, Tevez and Giovinco may not fit but they would be better than nothing.
I really can't see the benefits of being extremely picky when our options are currently so terrible.

Transfer policy and wage structure are different things and Ozil is not on crazy wages. Falcao won't come to Arsenal.
Many are not. Serie A is a piss poor league. Tevez is ridiculous. I doubt insigne would even have a better season than Giroud, he's short as **** and we already have plenty of midgets in the team. Aubamayang (sorry for the spelling) would be decent IMO but I doubt Dortmund are selling him either
Honestly it's easy to name every decent striker out there, doesn't mean you should consider them as potential transfer targets

Nah just Luke (I think, at least that's the name replaced on my list so I think he officially changed his name rather than making a new account). SUG seems to have given up.
What is then? Wenger's stubborn-ness to accept problems in his squad and try to fix them is well-known. His inactivity in the past few transfer seasons has been infuriating for many. Even now most of our transfers this season were replacements, instead of additions.

I am going to sound like an idiot but who is SUG?
Falcao is a world-class talent, a 'galactico' if you will. Arsenal are just not a team that can attract someone like that, both in wages or the player wanting to come in the first place. As a fan, it does pain me to say it.
For what reason? Being short of a DM? Should I suggest all Liverpool fans hide until Suarez is replaced by a player of equal quality?
lol, love it. i said hide because with wenger you don't have a clue what's going on or who you're gonna buy. just hide, come out when it's over and see if you won the jackpot.

Ah, that makes more sense. Well, we are on an upwards trajectory, getting Ozil then Sanchez. Who knows what could happen?

i know man, bloody awful. awful. :/
Wasn't it you cheeky sods who tried to nab Campbell on loan?

And what team has a transfer window where the purchases they are going make are explicitly stated beforehand?
SUG also known as Straight Up G was a tsr user, once a legend that wondered these parts. Once regarded as the most annoying guy on here, yet he still made those around him laugh. Legend has it that once day he shall return and pick up where he left off.
