This deal has gone through like it's on rails, Suarez chipping in himself with the biting incident. However, with Liverpool losing their best player abroad and us bringing in a player almost as good in Sanchez, we end up in an even better position than would have been the case had we signed Suarez last year, imo. Ozil on the books, Sanchez for £8mill less than we offered for Suarez, Liverpool weakened, us considerably strengthened. Whoever they end up buying won't be in the same league as Suarez. And the £8mill should go most of the way to bringing Remy here too. Not bad at all. All's well that ends well and Henry can stick that in his pipe and smoke it.
