IMO Cavani is being touted by Wenger as a distraction, to keep the media and twitter away from his actual targets.
The more the media discusses who we are actually after, the higher the price is going to be. The more Wenger can stop this from happening the better. This is a smart move by le Professeur no?
Cavani is a Distraction

Or it could be just to get Arsenal fans excited.
But reliable sources say its Germany the 30mill player we're after, not in Italy. Other than Gotze, who could be valued at 30 mill there?

He just said he was a good player, who would cost a lot. He didn't say he had bid for him
Its more likley to be a distraction to the fans, rather than a smokescreen for another player. He knows if he comes out and said we are not in for any one, the fans would go mental. So he has lightly hinted his intrest to deflect pressure away for a bit.
Obviously Hopefully I am completely wrong, and we'll see cavani unveiled in the coming days.... Wont happen though.

I'm sure @DarrenArsenal said it yesterday.
Either way I'll be surprised if we do get anyone for 30mill.

Reus, Gomez, Hummels, Ribery, Robben?

We're not after a £30m player. End of.

I agree, but 2x £15m players is possible

Of course it is. Cavani is at bare minimum going to cost £40mil. The mans a machine. He is easily on falcaos level but is for some reason not spoken about as much. Arsenal wouldn't pay that much and Napolis chairman will get the best deal possible.

I was excited in the morning with all the Cavani talk but as the day has gone on, reality has kicked in.
We are not saying anyone let alone £40M Cavani

There is always Llorente or one the Real Madrid strikers who can't play together in the same team. As Falcao seems to have signed a pre-contract with Madrid suggests Benzema or Higuain will be shown the door. It could very well be one of them.
The problem is keeping anything secret because its in the selling clubs interest to leak it. Arsene wouldn't be talking about Cavani unless the bid had been accepted.
The only other club in for him would have been Chelsea but they have Torres problem so it very well could be Cavani.
