But this could all be smoke and mirrors as usual.

im not sure he's worth £12m more than higuain though when as you say, he has so much baggage.

quality player, no doubt about it, but when you've got the choice of higuain at £28m or suarez at £40m (minimum), higuain seems like a better choice.

deep down we know suarez will probably be off in 3 years time because he'll want to win trophies. we'll just be another stepping stone for his dream move to madrid, which all south american players want in their career, because of the cultural affinity and reputation that club has in south america.

at least with higuain he's won trophies with an elite so he might be more accepting of a communitarian club where he can call wenger his dad for the next 10 years, like most our players seem to do.

i'm sure they will - but it's the quality of player we get that will be the issue.

i am not about to cherry pick stories from the media to believe in. i didn't buy the ancelotti/higuain thing at all and look what happened. so i'm not buying some little prick from goal.com writing a few paragraphs making shit up.

if theres a press conference with an announcement or its on the website, then i'm in. whether wenger spends money or not, they'll speculate about something, anything to keep their page hits up, to keep people on their site. there's no exclusivity about arsenal - the money thing is just their angle on our club. utd's is moyes being a newbie, city is squad upheavel and chelsea they have they tongue firmly shoved up the smug ****s arse for now. spurs is they need strikers.

fuck believing any of this shit until it actually tangibly means something.

Arsene Wenger has admitted that if Arsenal do not end their trophy drought in the next "one or two years" his strategy for the club will have failed.
The Gunners have not won anything since 2005, but team boss Wenger called on supporters to rally behind his team.
"If we do not deliver in one or two years I will be responsible," said the Frenchman, whose contract runs to 2011.

That's a 4 year old article. :haha:

Similar shit being repeated now.

When will this stale bastard fuck off?

As a great man once said

"Same old shit"

Wenger is embarrassing and the day he leaves will be for me the greatest day in Arsenal history

I agree with you to some extent, but the lack of spending on quality has been something that has occurred regularly in the recent past, this article may well be BS but it's basically confirming what we already know in reality. Wenger has some sort of issue with spending money on proven quality players, he wants to eat caviar but only if it's available at fast food prices.

If someone asked him, he'd no doubt worm his way out of it by using Man City or some other excuse. I don't think the guy is very honest and the way he conducts his business with regards the fans lacks integrity IMO.

What's the difference between Suarez trying to wind up a player and a crowed in Italy, Spain or Eastern Europe shouting racist chants to throw a star player of their game? If you have no problem with Suarez coming here, then you must be able to understand why FIFA do very little to combat racist chants and hand out petty fines. Self interest is what it boils down to.

So very true.

Not 10 - 15 million better.

Defo a case of some not knowing just how good Higuain actually is.

There is a good reason why some commentators see him (along with a couple more signings) as perfect to solving most of arsenals problems and turning us into 'contenders'.

He is 10-15m better. Completely different league. Higuain is awesome but Suarez has proven he can pretty much carry a team. Put Higuain at Liverpool and I think they would struggle to finish in the top half.

But it's irrelevant because we've got no chance of signing Suarez. Chelsea will always outbid and out pay us. We seemingly had a chance of signing Higuain but it has gone ominously quiet on that front. Still think we'll break our transfer record on a striker. But just don't know who.
