Cavani was somewhat realistic but his price tag is too much for the quality tbh
Bender would never have happened
The difference is that Ozil and Sachez weren't wanted by their clubs and Wenger was ready to give them some love. That's why Khedira, Sneiderlain, Nastatic, Welbeck, Remy and Negredo were much more realistic targets and I think if we got 2 or 3 of them we would be in a strong position
We have the cash, Cavani could have happened. Like I said, Bender would have involved some actual effort, but everyone has their price. When you need someone, value doesn't need to be the dominating factor in the decision but rather if they will do the required job.
So essentially the only quality players we can buy are the one their clubs don't actually want?! Great!
Lol, okay so I should just have my head in the clouds and expect everything to come good like you right? No. Reality is we have massively messed up another window. It's indefensible really, crying about what we don't have and haven't had for several years now. Shameful that some will have no issue with this.
I need to assure you I'm not wallowing in self pity because I predicted this type of thing to happen. Whilst everyone was doing backflips around the Emirates over Sanchez I was still adamant that we needed a ST and DM.
I guess I'm a terrible fan because I have more ambition than you who would just want to finish 4th again.
No-one is saying you should have your head in the clouds. However, perhaps you should stop feeling sorry for yourself, and stop bitching on a public forum, as it doesn't help anyone or anything. Maybe if you aren't willing to stop being so miserable, you can go to twitter or make a blog and moan there, where we don't have to put up with your pessimistic nonsense.

Are you genuinely saying you would have been happy for Wenger to throw our wage structure out the window and give Falcao £350k a week or Cavani £200k a week, because to compete with United that's what we would have to do and frankly I'm glad we haven't tried to match their crazy wages

Cavani wanted to leave PSG, I'm sure he would have taken a pay cut of some sort. I heard he was on around £140k at PSG anyway, Ozil and Sanchez are on that.
It's not just transfer feels, until we start paying world class players world class money we will forever be 4th. The structure we have is ridiculous anyway. This socialist structure of everyone having similar is terrible because you end up with mugs like Chamakh and Bendtner only a couple £10ks away from the better players when in reality they shouldn't be anywhere near that. Most other clubs don't have such a idiotic system in place, their best players get top dollars and the rest don't.
