Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Kano]

if that is the case, and the media know, and we know it, surely madrid know it to so it loses affect. they'd also know £30m for suarez couldn't be serious bid as they know the market rate and may well have sounded out suarez agent for valuations already.

i don't get this story. much like the ancelotti signing off bollocks it proved to be.

Us?

£30 mil?

[Cripps_orig]

Call me a cynic but the £30m offer to me seems like a plause to appease the fans when its becomes clear that we wont sign any more players this summers.

Wenger and Co. will come out with "we made big offers" etc knowing full well that Liverpool were never going to sell Suaraz for £30m, let alone to Arsenal.

Pretty much

That Suarez bid seems to have angered the guys at Red and White kop

[-Xs-]

Considering we are still being linked with every man and his dog, I'm going to maintain my belief that, whilst there is no smoke without fire, our fire burns very cheaply and haggling over comparatively little amounts, despite all the faux bravado from Gazidis, will see another disappointing transfer summer.

Time for Suarez to come home.

So the Suarez bid pretty much confirms that we do not want to pay Madrid what they want for Higuain/they won't accept a penny less than their valuation of him. Seems a bit childish from both sides but we are where we are.

Aside from Higuain, I really don't see any other viable options, We are not going to sign Rooney or Suarez so who else is available?

I'll say one thing, our need for a top class Centre forward is very big and we shouldn't forget that, if we are what 4 or 5 million apart in our bid/Real's valuation for Higuain should we not just bite the bullet, pay the fee and move on to strenghtening other areas of the team?

Yeah I am kind of leaning towards that too. I geniunely think we are prepared to spend big but as usual it has to fit into our "flawed" approach of paying what we believe is the "right price", which more often than not tends to be quite a bit below the current "market price".

A lot of these big money offers we have put in tend to be "take it or leave it" type offers, in the sense that we put in an offer and then appear to walk away if the offer is rejected. This trend has been present for a few years now.

Come September when Sanongo is our only signing, Arsene and Ivan will come out with their customary "we put in big money offers for players but the price is too high"

What a load of shit (the suarez story)

Must be the heat.
