Liverpool Echo saying we offer £40m for Suarez and it's a deal

[PSRB]

I can't decide if I'm happy about this or disappointed.

I suppose the main bright side initially will be the scousers losing the plot

[Monty91]

[ITSUPFORGRABSNOW]

Who the f**k is he? He will struggle to get big names in IMO especially with no Champions League

[Classic Jorge]

We can all start wearing ludicrously wide trousers, kipper ties and framing Irish people for crimes they didnt commit.

[Luis Anaconda]

you ******* j

another TV playing FIFA as well :-(

I always clung to that solitary test win, in a 3-1/4-1 drubbing at the hands of the Aussies, as proof that they weren't invincicble.

The fact it generally came when the series was finished as a contest, and they'd been on the lash for a week, didn't matter as it was a win.

[Rich]

I see what we're doing here. Huge bid and then offer minimal wages. He'll never accept and we don't need to spend :cloud9:

More seriously, here's the article. It quotes no sources and goes as far as saying that there are reports stating that they won't sell to us full stop.

Reports today suggest the Emirates Stadium side will offer £40m for the 26-year-old Uruguayan, a portion of which will be tied into the amount of appearances he makes for the club but will not include a sell on clause. Arsenal boss is said to be readying an offer of around £150k a week which Luis Suarez is said to be ready to sign.

However, conflicting reports state Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is adamant they will not sell Suarez to Arsenal as they also brace themselves for a bid from Real Madrid who only value the Uruguayan at £25m.

Arsenal are also aware Napoli are *interested in Higuain and if Real sell him to the Serie A club then it will give them cash to make a higher bid for Suarez.

[Peter]

I am going to be f**king u happy of we pay 40 million for that c**t.

Seriously f**king unhappy. I would rather we buy nobody. I would rather we buy nobody and sell a few.

[Ashberto]

Not sure about the technique though. Echo needs to decay a bit, surely.

"It's a deal, 's deal, a deal, eel..."

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Not having any of this at all.

[Ashberto]

Half the reserves gone as well. We must be down to the bare bones.

[Peter]

Sagna, that sort of thing.

[Monty91]

[PSRB]

Wilshere
Cazorla
Walcott
Ramsey
Arteta
Rosicky
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Gnabry
Zelalem
Diaby :-)
Miyaichi
Frimpong

[Monty91]

Do you have a version of f**king people unhappy then?

[Ashberto]

[PSRB]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Trust me.

I would seriously question the sanity of a man or a pair of men who thought it made sense, financially and footballistically, to baulk at paying an extra 8m or whatever on Higuain to then willingly pay 40m for Suarez.

[Peter]

Are you that bored? :-)

[Monty91]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Peter]

[Monty91]

[Peter]

Is it well stocked or not? I am confused.

[PSRB]

and not just in Carling Cup

[Peter]

[Monty91]

But to the ****tiest level of business class. World Alliance class or sommat.

It was bascically me and a massive noisy, fat Hispanic family of about 20 :-(

Food was much, much better than in cattle class though, and of courrse the leg room is a big bonus.

Problem now is I want to flt like that all the time.

[PSRB]

[Peter]

Its ok. Virgin's is better.

Got upgrade to business with emirates for my return from kl next week.

Very nice indeed :-)

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I would still question the sanity of a man who valued Suarez around 8-10m above Higuain (the value being based on the figures I have seen bandied about with regards to the fee required to get GH).

Then there is the small issue of the reasons given by LS for wanting to leave Liverpool, the reasons which will remain in place should he come to us.

[Monty91]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Very few transfer sagas really. They are all bursting for us to lash into the warchest and have given up on us signing the Argie.

[Peter]

Perhaps the most unpopular player in britain.

Hardly a glowing reference.

[Lar d'Arse]

or don't trust the reports?

[Peter]

Not fair

[Lar d'Arse]

[Mack]

[Peter]

When i think whst we could potentially do with that money......

[Monty91]

expect him to) then he seems pretty low maintenance. Great trainer by all accounts, works his *******s off during matches and popular with teammates too.

[Monty91]

Want to leave within a year. That's no more true of Suarez than any world class player we may buy.

[The Tony]

That's my big tip for next year...Urafag are going to win the World Cup....

[Peter]

The guy is just trouble. If he curbs one thing he will do something else. He just rubs people up the wrong way.

The celebration after that handball. What a stupid c**t. Classic example. Fine, you have to handle it but f**k off down the tunnel and celebrate.

I just dont want the hassle of him, the constant arguments and controversies.

And i dont like him. And 40 million? f**king hell......

[Ashberto]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

One probably feeds the other as such, United knowing they can offer xx for Cesc safe in the knowledge that they will receive the same in return for Rooney.

There has to be an Arsenal story because we were so stupidly public about our wedge.

[Peter]

the only thing we can give him that liverpool cant is champions league football. That wont be enough for him.

[Peter]

That there are worse things than buying nobody.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

Sorry... this is what silly season has reduced me to :-(

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

United agree a fee, we then have the option of doing what we can within the terms of this contracted agreement then it is up to two people - Cesc of course and then Wenger.

I won't be in any way upset if he joins them. Player joins football club etc.

[Ashberto]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I just cannot believe us offering 40m for him given all that goes around him.

[Monty91]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

As in his prime reason for asking to leave.

[Peter]

A lot of people accepted ot on the grpunds that it was barca. I think a lot of them will be livid if he joins united.

Of course, footallers talk **** and do what they want but i think a lot of us chose to believe him at the time.

[Peter]

Liverpool.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Monty91]

[Bergkamp's Brain]

[Monty91]

[Peter]

Of course he would rather join real than us but maybe he is just desperate to get away from liverpool.

I dont care. Either way, he is a massive c**t and i dont want him.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

On a personal and professional level.

As a footballer it would be a great move for him.

[Peter]

Yes, hehas.

And tht is taking away the biggest two problems, obvioulsly.

[Ashberto]

By 'understood' I mean that I recognise that it is your position. What I understand less is how a fan of a club cares so little for the interests of the club, and always puts the interests of players first.

A passing interest in the affairs of Arsenal FC is a perfectly acceptable position, of course, but someone with that position might also recognise that others also back the interests of the club. Those of us in the latter camp will naturally prefer Cesc Fabregas to Not Be a Man Utd player.

[Monty91]

I don't think people would really mind the diving if he stopped biting and racially abusing people.

Like I say, if he can stop those kind of discretions then he's every manager's dream.

[Peter]

To go well at barca so what he said when leaving may have been true.

Just saying, some people wont like it.

[Ashberto]

"NOW LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!"

[Peter]

[Bergkamp's Brain]

[PSRB]

[Monty91]

which is presumably why he is in high demand and being linked with the biggest clubs in the word.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

[Dutch Gooner]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Club goes on with or without Fabregas who individually I care little about. Very, very good footballer of course who would improve us hugely but I personally don't get hung up on players playing for an opposition side.


I fully recognise that others feel different. I don't think I have ever criticised others for that view.

[Supermac1976]

[The Tony]

Before Cavani goes to town on Germany in the final....

[Ashberto]

and not wanting to see arguably your two best players in recent years now playing for a team we're trying to catch up with.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

He is just a player and apart from retirement will play elsewhere. It genuinely does not bother me to see van Persie at United, nor would it Cesc who I do not in any way view as some kind of prodigal son as some do (not specifically you btw).

I am more than happy watching the players we have, some of whom would cause envy to United supporters to expand your scenario. We do however need 2-3 new players which is annoying me more currently than the prospect of him going there.

Great player mind you. If we have an option and he wants to play for us we would be mad to not act on it.
