BBC saying Suarez is considering a transfer request and possible court action.
Hope so.
Do we really want such a wanker here? Higuain would have been the better option in so many ways. What a bunch of bastards for not signing him.
This is getting some traction now. I might even be tempted to watch a Youtube compilation of him. :sick:
Looks like Wengers comments have had the desired effect today and set the papers off again.
That should buy them a week.

Apart from the fact that Suarez is the better all-round player and offers more options and is proven in this League, I agree. Who gives a shit about transfer budgets, decency, future problems? Buy the slimy bastard and get some good service out of him and it's all good. You want entertainment? You'll get that and some added extras with Suarez. And there's another reason he's a better option than Hig Wayne!Quote:

Higuain could have been lining up for us tomorrow. Even if we sign Suarez he won't set foot on a pitch until October. Plus all the other stuff including the fact we aren't signing him. Doesn't matter if Suarez is better the Messi if we aren't signing him. And we aren't.Quote:

Higuain made a lot more sense, cheaper, a goalscorer, younger comes with no baggage and not a troublemaker. When I say he made more sense, he made more sense to us but Suarez clearly makes more sense to Wenger and co as they know we have no chance of getting it and thus won't be spending a penny on him!
Some people pay big money for that.Quote:

When I say he's not that good I mean he's not as good as people claim, like I said so far he's had one good season.Quote:

Higuain scored 107 goals in 190 games for one of the biggest teams where the pressure is immense, I don't see why Suarez should be rated above him on that basis when he's got just 51 goals in 96 games in a much lower pressure environment, it's just good old English hype again.

Chelsea have signed 3 players this transfer window. AW is categorically wrong.
i have to admit, id completely forgotten about you signing those three.Quote:

not that i really keep an eye out on you guys during pre season, but those three signings havnt really come up, be it in reports or on tv. hence why i forgot them. are they just not playing?Quote:

I haven't been paying the greatest attention to our pre-season games (i never do tbh as i feel it doesn't tell you much). My hope is that we follow this model for the remainder of the season.Quote:

Normally wouldn't stand for an outsider disrespecting an arsenal manager by correcting him but its Wenger. Go nuts
I suppose we'll find out soon enough just how good they are. At the minimum they offer some good squad depth which your club currently lacks in some areas. Schwarzer is a billion miles better than Hilario & Turnbull. As it stands i'm very confident about the upcoming season.Quote:

yeah schwarzer is miles better so thats fair enough, that transfer makes sense even it is only for 1 year. (hes 40 isnt he so cant see him playing much longer) but the others just seem like squad fillers to me. their names werent mentioned often last season, like other names are. seems to be me like they could end up going the way of marko marin. decent player, no playing time, not that effectvieQuote:

An 18 million pound German international squad filler, wouldn't mind us having one tbh.Quote:

Schurrle is meant to be quite good. 24 caps for the Germany and he's only 22. Doesn't sound bad at all plus he's a sizeable lad which won't hurt his chances in the PL. Of course he could flop big time but i think it's quite unlikely.Quote:

they could turn out to be brilliant signings and if they do, fair play but in terms of Arsenal, they arent the level of players we need right now hence why im not fussed particually about it. i dont think they will be anything special but if arsenal were looking at those players this summer, id be pissed offQuote:

Having said that i'd happily settle for 3rd (having scored at least 80+pts) and a respectable showing in the cups (quarter or semi finals appearances).
Not quite sure what's there to be pissed off about. AW and your club have messed things up for themselves. Due to their satisfaction with 4th the perception is that if you want to win stuff you don't go to arsenal. Consequently the sort of players you are talking about won't see arsenal as a place to go to win stuff. To make it worse your wage policy makes no sense (paying crap players & youngsters who haven't done a thing loads but shirking when it comes to paying established players).Quote:

The biggest problem with your club is that you keep acting like you are some tiny ass club as opposed to the 3rd biggest club in the land. Makes no sense at all.
It is difficult to take the piss out of a club when their own fans do it. We have become little bit laughing stock past few years but ever the optimist that I am, I'm keeping the faith. Surely Wenger and the board will have bought all the yachts there are to buy and might spend on the team.Quote:

Same shit, different season. Our new club motto
Lars Bender?.....one bid.....one rejection and we go running back to our little hole in the sand. What is it with us......we obviously like a player but think only we know that players value......didn't we put a bid in for Capoue on Jan but got rejected......now I am almost positive that it was more than the figure Cardiff are throwing at his club so if we liked him in January why arent we back in again and taking advantage of the lowered price......ohyeah because we think we are getting Felliani!!!!Quote:

Mainly cos Higuain was being supplied by Ronaldo, Ozil etc whilst Suarez was taking it upon himself. Who can blame him, with the likes of downing around.Quote:

At this point though, its really a moot thing to be arguing about. We lost out on Higuain and we wont be getting Suarez.
if we were in for schurrle you'd be pissed off? have the media made you lose your mind completely? as it stands he is far more complete wide player than anything we current have. hazard will be absolutely dynamite this season after a good first season. then there is mata. then the return of lukaku who was great for west brom. but yeah sure, i'd rather have chamakh, ramsey, arteta and gervinho than any of that lot.Quote:
