Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal have told Gonzalo Higuain, 25, to hurry up and decide if he wants to join them after growing frustrated with the striker delaying his move to north London.

It would help I guess if we actually made a bid

[bunsco]

i dont get it

why refuse to pay £28m for higuain when we've bid £30m for suarez

is suarez really that much better? that much to haggle and cause a nuisance?

higuain wants out. he's a world class player. realistic wages.

ffs we're run by idiots

Putting my current issue aside, this is the one that really confuses me.

Yes, yes he is.

Suarez is better than Higuain for sure and he's Prem Proven. So if Wenger thinks he could get Suarez then he's gonna try.

This is what makes managing Arsenal much more difficult than City or Chavs. They can buy both, we can only buy one. The danger is whilst we're waiting for Suarez, Higuain will go elsewhere. Is it worth the risk? I dunno, but if Suarez wasn't a wanker he'd have been voted the best player in the Prem last season.

Also let's not forget that Higuain is owned by the biggest club in the world. Not easy to buy from them and not easy to tempt the player away.

Interesting.

Where have we heard that before?

Oh yes I remember, last summer, the summer before, the summer before that, the summer before that, the summer before that....

It's just a straight up copy and paste job from the last 8 years.

Just fuck off.

Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini's buy-out clause of £23.5m expires on 14 August and, if Arsenal and Manchester United want to sign the 25-year-old Belgium international for that amount, they have one month left to do so.

Looks like he won't be coming

Suarez used the N word and got done, Evra used it and everyone turned a blind eye. Racism used to be a struggle that pitted the likes of MLK against genuinely murderous sheet wearing thugs. Now it's a BS knicker wetting party run by faggots. I'd have no problem with Suarez coming here. He's a thick footballing shite, if we use that as a barrier to entry then we'll never sign anyone.

Oh wait...

That's no argument. The reason shits changed because of tolerance levels and what's deemed as acceptable and what we turn a blind eye too. 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.

I doubt we'll sign him and if we did, Wenger would have to speak with the squad about it first. He comes with baggage. Saying that, it might do him some good to be here.

[hobson's choice]

At this point I don't even care anymore, it's clear our manager has become some what of a coward. He's happy with the minimum pressure/expectations to just qualify for the CL and make out the group stages.

After every season, he can get patted on the back for qualifying for the CL, and he can gloat, and tell everyone, what a wonderful job he did. With a team that cost so much more less than City, Chelsea, United etc. And how he's gonna try and bring some top class players for the next season.
