will probably only happen if he can legally enforce the magic clause.
Arsenal can wait and wait on that IF they've bought another player as competition for Giroud at 9
happy to gamble on Suarez as the Gervinho/Arshavin replacement
(trouble is Wenger could be gambling on Sanogo as that player - which is a HUGE ask of the boy)

Wenger's tendency with players like Sanogo seems to be to rely on them as one for the future. Don't think he'll expect much or anything of him in terms of contribution to first team but he'll definitely factor him in as a banker in a season or two's time and will approach the transfer market with this in mind.
In the same way that he said he didn't sign Alonso because he didn't want to "kill" Song, Denilson etc - not because he thought that they could do the job that season.
The whole contract thing does seem a bit weird. It just seems like Liverpool have stitched him up a bit - poor Suarez!
Seriously though. If Liverpool allowed the clause and their understanding was that they were just obliged to tell him that a bid had been received then what benefit would that be? If you ask me they knew exactly what they were doing and knew that this would kick off.
