His attitude and performance v engerland really surprised me and I did wonder if the guy had finally realised that he needed to change his attitude, but seemingly a leopard doesnt change his spots after all (isnt that right luis ? )
The implications of the expected collapse of the cannibal's move to spain will be massive - in all probabliity sanchez and some others would have been on the market had barca bought him, whilst benzema, di maria, morata and maybe others would have been for sale if madrid bought him. Clubs like ourselves (dont laugh ), manure, the victims and juve were all hovering waiting to pick up the scraps from barca and madrids tables so now the transfer plans for these clubs will have to be revised and of course this will be replicated down to teams below us etc etc.
Now the selling prices for other strikers on the market will of course shoot up - supply and demand dictates that when there is a shortage of a product/player, then the value of that product/player will immediately increase. Strikers like cavani and falcao will suddenly be THE number 1 strikers available but they would only have been number 2 or 3 had the cannibal kept his teeth to himself
When us Gooners are finished taking the piss out of the suarez fiasco (and that wont be anytime soon ), we will probably find that we will be one of the most negatively affected clubs in this mess - with a different manager it probably wouldnt affect us that much, but the reality is that we have a manager who refuses to pay top dollar for quality so it is highly unlikely that he will pay a higher price for those players now than what was previously the case
If he got a ban only for international matches, this could on the other hand also speed up his departure from the victims... I don't think barca or real gives a shit if cannibal ate Chiellini alive, it could be that they will give even more pressure to pool to sell him. This can also have a decreasing effect on his price tag if pool wants to get rid of him...
Too much of a risk to spend big money on him. Imagine ramos targetting him in the first el classico - it could be absolute carnage and madrid will know that too. I know that he is a world class talent but I have to say, that after the 3rd biting incident, I dont believe that the vast majority of fans of the big clubs would want him anywhere near their clubs - it's different for the victims cos they wont attract a real top quality talent like suarez, but the likes of madrid and barca will simply move on safe in the knowledge that they can buy the next best talent available

You are probably right about that. It's really interesting to see what happens, but I have to say that Jesus I'm glad we didn't sign him last year. We would have a real pile of shit on our hands now (and maybe PL trophy as a bonus...).

Even though Suarez is a great player and possibly could have scored crucial goals that may have put us higher up the league, Arsenal have more class than that. I am glad we didn't land him.

And in hindsight I am thanking god that we didnt buy him - I wasnt sure whether I wanted us to sign him (world class talent - serious problems = ??) but I always accepted that he would have won us the title, but delighted we didnt sign him now
I agree, that he would have improved our chances of winning the prem title last season by 1,000% , and still wish we had signed him, becaus ehad we signed him and we HAD won the prem - and this new biting incident still taken place - then he can f*ck off...we would still be champions and some mug of a club will still come along and buy him for crazy money.
All that will happen now - is Fifa - who won't do much - will simply require him to wear a Hannibal Lectar type mask for the next 5 years, either that or have all his teeth yanked!

Would also add that us not signing The Hound of Anfield had nothing to do with our class (past or present) but a whole lot to do with the arrogance and rank stupidity of Arsene, Ivan The Terrible and Sir Pip LongStocking of Evershambles.
Thank Christ, Balotelli is pure poison, if you want to sum up all the wrongs of modern football in one thing it's him. He would be a cancer on the club and I'd rather sign nobody rather than have him arrive.

And of course not having to put yer Schlonger in the ole blender has nothing to do with your relief !?
So who is the Striking target for Arsene Wenger ,really who ?
I'm afraid it could be Remy whose piss poor attitude makes William Gallas look like a model team mate !
So much for super quality then !
We have lost a lot of squad players this season and we were already thin on the ground last !
What Agents has Wenger been meeting ,a travel agent perhaps ?
People have totally the wrong idea........people think Wonga is out in Brazil for the 'agent', but the French pronounce it 'argent' and of course 'argent' is French for MONEY. so basically Wonga is out in Brazil for the money. Pleased to clear that one up!!
