Not sure what has happened to my post. Cavani to Arsenal, bid accepted according to a guy with a verified account and connections at Sky. Don't shoot the messenger

Believable26 Unbelievable35

I've seen the £38.5m bid been submitted, haven't heard that's it's been accepted. Here's hoping you're right mate!

Agree0 Disagree0

Any updates on Cavani today ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - no jonny..sorry..

38.5 mill for cavani? so psg think david luiz is worth more than cavani?

either they lack common sense to accept that bid or they are going to play david luiz as a CF.

Agree1 Disagree0

Well they paid £40m (£50m?) for Luiz in the first place, so they obviously do lack common sense!

Agree1 Disagree0

Cant see it myself but u never no

Agree0 Disagree0

No need to apologise Ed25 I'm not his biggest fan, just play Alexis down the middle & we'll be fine!

Agree0 Disagree0

Sounds like someone taking advantage of news hungry arsenal fans. with balo off the market, I can't see many other options available out there. And besides, 60 something million reeeaaally isn't arsene's style.

Agree0 Disagree0

Arsenal to sign Khedira, Manolas and Falcao(loan). Only thing holding the deals up is Wenger and players want to know outcome of the tie against Besiktas. If we don't qualify (god forbid) only Manolas will come in, with Rabiot a possible alternative to Khedira.

{Ed025's Note - sounds good mate..

Since it is an all you can eat buffet, hmmm. let's see. i'll have ronaldo, reus, and you can throw in that other chap. what's his name? messi? yeah.

Come off it mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rabiot is an attacking midfielder, not the same player as Khedira who we need. Khedira. German, cultured holding midfielder, Mesut's best friend and World Cup winner. That's who we need.

Agree0 Disagree0

Khedira is not a holding midfielder. Why do people think he is?

Hello Eds,
If Real Madrid complete the signing of Falcao now or in Jan. Do you think Arsenal would be interested in signing Benzema after he just signed a new 5yr contract? Surely this would raise his value in the market if we did. Is AW even interested in signing Benzema or any other forward this season?

This is my first post on the site although I check it almost every day! Loving the good work!

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal have been trying all summer to bring a striker in but are not going to buy for the sake of it. The right player at the right price is what they want. I would look to Manolas as effectively complete, one, perhaps two midfield players and a forward if possible as all something that could yet happen. We will see.}

Ed02 what is the problem with manolas deal there have been a lot of news that he is undergoing medical but no official announcement?ed02 please tell me if u know anything? Thanx

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - There is no problem. See earlier answers.}

Now that Liverpool's moving for Ballotelli, is there any interest from Arsenal for PSGs Lavezzi?

We are talking to them about rabiot and have been linked with Cavani. He is available, so logic would suggest he might have been discussed. Have you any information Ed?

Believable0 Unbelievable9

{Ed002's Note - I cannot see what Liverpool would have to do with Lavezzi. Lavezzi is available and his representative visited London and spoke with Arsenal in March. Arsenal could make an offer, but have not so far. Lavezzi seems keen on a return to Italy.}

Cheers for the info mate. Liverpools been linked with him all summer that's what he had to do with it

Carlo Ancelotti has said that Khedira has asked to leave. Wenger says he is not against the idea of signing a new DM. Do you think Wenger will move for Khedira or anyone else?
Cheers Ed

Just heard that the winner of the Europa League gets a spot in the Champions League the year after.
I was just wondering have UEFA made a separate spot for this or will they take a place from one of the teams from their own league.
For example if 5pur2 (worst case scenario) won the Europa and we finished 4th, would they take our spot?

Believable2 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - This is very old news. It would be an additional place.}

Europa League winners now get a Champions League spot.

Agree0 Disagree3

Ed today reports say arsenal have open talks with Borrisua for Marco Reus, can you give more information on this?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Have you been playing on Twitter again?}
