Hard to say really because the PFA are in Suarez's corner, so there must be something legitimate regarding it. That being said, if Liverpool end up selling him to us, they are going to look like right planks after the posturing that they did.

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.

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.

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.

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 you :censored: and explain loyalty to them... Lack of Class the sheep bleat, yeah class like the victim manager and that T-shirt supporting the racist . How many hacks supported Arsenal when Van Judas, Nasri, Adebuyme etc were engineering their moves.? None is the answer, we were told Arsenal were not ambitious enough and near enough to challenging for the top honours. Well as bad and as frustrating as we have been we have been a lot better than the Liverpool Aldridge, Thommo etc say Suarez would be better with.

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.

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.

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 medical

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
