Assuming those bids are indeed real (i'm sceptical), we know we won't get Suarez so it's a safe bid, upping our bid for Higuain would probably secure him. This scenario would then require us to pay up and we're not keen on this.
Failed bids however look good to the fans and will allow us to secure cheaper players safe in the knowledge that people will believe we tried to make big signings.
We ain't seen nothing yet...
Just saw that ESPN had their 'Thierry Henry - Legends of the game' doc on, fuck sake :(
Pretty decent video:

Thing is they've done this before so it's nothing new, they've got not respect for the fans and consequently they don't expect any of them to catch on with what's going on, they think we're just some lemmings that will buy any cr*p.
I agree we're not as desirable as before, but let's face it if the bids for Suarez are real we know they are too low and that Liverpool aren't stupid enough to sell him to us considering they don't want to sell in the 1st place.
I personally can't see that we would be 22 million for a player, never mind 30 million.
Pretty gutted that Spurs are targeting Benteke - they'll probably get the deal done soon too. This is the kind of player we should be realistically going for. Someone who would love to play for us, has bags of talent, looks like he's gonna score every game and 19 prem league goals in his debut season for a struggling side wasn't too shabby...seriously, this guy could be as effective as Henry for us.. to me it's a no brainer...get him on board, then spend the xtra few million trying to secure Higuain. I just don't understand how Wenger can go on tour in Asia when there's so much to be done in terms of bringing in players.
You're putting a guy who's had 1 half decent season and already wants out on the same lever as our GREATEST EVER STRIKER!
Yes, I disagree.
Fair enough, but Henry wasn't our greatest ever striker at 22 was he? stats wise - I think Benteke prob more effective at the same age...he looks to have a similar level of arrogance to Henry already, scores a variety of goals (not too many with head ala Henry) Knows how to curl a shot in, and seems an excellent target man - one of the best CF talents I've seen in a while...interesting how Belgium have both him and Lukaku coming through at the same time...I wasn't comparing him outright to Henry...but I do think should he stay with us - he could be a huge talent and as effective as Henry...
Think him and an in form walcott would be interesting to see.
well, lets hope you're as spot on with this prediction as you were with Nedum Onuoha..
:haha:
Wenger: "I am committed to staying longer at this club. I’ve already had a chat with Ivan. It went very well"
Wenger: "Would my decision depend on how well next season goes? I am like anybody else, of course, it is important to see how well we do. "
Wenger: "‘We are coming out of that period and I hope in the next two or three years the club will be competing for the Premier League."
Wenger: "My heart is with Arsenal. I’m not at PSG because my heart is with Arsenal"
No Higuain then :rose:
Great news.
FFs.
Cringeworthy utterance this bit for all proper Gooner:
He'll never fuck off, will he? :banghead:Quote:

AW: "For years we were out of the race for top-level transfers, but we're back now & that's what we're working on"
35 won't be enough eitherQuote:
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has refused to rule out a move for want-away Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, 26, and is preparing to up his offer from £30m to £35m.

Arsenal could make a bid to bring Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul, 25, to North London.
Full story: Daily Star
Krul is better than what we have but we need better

If this happens, Bruce will be an Arsenal legend
Very fucked up:

We can win the title? Look at Jack and Theo in that picture. They are embarrassed as fuck. Something very wrong there and I don't just mean the mincing Gazidis.
This is all you need to read, to know that we are going to do fuck all this summer in the transfer window!

But we are coming out of that period and I hope that in the next two to three years this club will be competing every year for the Premier League title.
What I've learned in this transfer window is that we have greater financial resources than ever before. And having greater financial resources than ever before means we can actively pursue higher quality players, the big names everybody talks about. Therefore, rather than being forced to target a £10m player and offering £7.5m, we can now easily target a £20m player and offer £15m or a £30m player and offer £22.5m. Sadly players aren't 'available' in either scenario but it feels much better to be a hobo being thrown out of fine dining establishments rather than a hobo being thrown out of McDonald's and KFC. Doesn't it?
Not sure, end of the day we're still a pathetic hobo.
