And the PFA support and talk of legal action (even if empty threats) is what points towards Suarez thinking he was signing a deal with a £40m release clause. And if that's the case, it's major negligence on the part of his representatives that they let Liverpool draft such a straightforward boilerplate clause in such an ambiguous manner.begeegs wrote:Hard to say really because the PFA are in Suarez's corner, so there must be something legitimate regarding it.

Liverpool will look weak if they sell him at £40m now - once they accept that no foreign clubs are going to bid that sort of money for him I expect they'd accept £45m to let them save some face.

Ok the extra £1.00 bid was taking the piss a little but the way the victims are acting blaming Arsenal for everything not sure what we have done wrong if they are not happy with our bid just say no

I don't think it was really taking the piss. It was meant to circumvent this whole circus which has arisen anyway because of Liverpool.swimmer1 wrote:Ok the extra £1.00 bid was taking the piss a little but the way the victims are acting blaming Arsenal for everything not sure what we have done wrong if they are not happy with our bid just say no

Re: SUMMER TRANSFERS - Deals, Rumours and Buy/Sell Wish List
I do not want Suarez to join partly because of the racism/biting/diving and partly because he will do to us what he is now doing to Liverpool. BUT BUT BUT where do these fucking moronic ex Victim players and their current manager get this Arsenal disrespect line. Go to Swansea Rodgers youPerryashburtongroves wrote:What the victims blaming somebody else?

Lassana Diarra anyone?, I know I know but defensive box to box midfielder 28 years old and available because Anzhi Macalakalakalak budget has just gone down the toilet, also eto'o is getting on a bit but worth an enquiry at least.

Suarez isn't coming
Re: SUMMER TRANSFERS - Deals, Rumours and Buy/Sell Wish List
Problem with Liverpool is that their fans still believe they are a big club because of 5 European cups, 18 league titles etc..., the cold hard facts are this, they are no longer sitting at the big table, we are, they are not even top 4 contenders let alone title contenders, we are. Once to learn to accept where they are in modern football, they will never move forwards. A lot of afc fans now seem to accept under wenger we will be a selling club that challenges for a top 4 in premership and a top 16 club in Europe.
I still don't think we will buy suarez, we'll do the hard work, get him to the front door, Real Madrid will call, double his money and off he will trot...but...may free up Karim Benzema a player, I suspect, wenger would prefer to bring in before Suarez.

Are we unlucky with transfers or have we have we not got a clue ?
Re: SUMMER TRANSFERS - Deals, Rumours and Buy/Sell Wish List
So surprised that I have been telling everyone for months that none of the big names will be coming. One of the few that told everyone that Higuain wouldn't be joining when the masses were mocking his picture up in an Arsenal shirt and getting in a tizz about his mythical visit to London and medicalswimmer1 wrote:You sound surprised .SteveO 35 wrote:Suarez isn't coming![]()

No Higuain, no Rooney, no Suarez, no Fellaini........no player in excess of £20m. Not now, not in January, not next year, not on Wenger's watch.....ever. And certainly no surprise to me
