Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Power n Glory]

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

I guess it boils down to the quality of the player. Suarez seems like a one man wrecking machine. I don't think you could put Higuain in a team like Liverpool's and get such performances. I guess their just waiting to see what's available. If we splash the bulk on Higuain and then find Saurez or Rooney are available, they'd probably be pissed.

But this could all be smoke and mirrors as usual.

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.

It's tedious and even if we're playing the waiting game with the strikers, I think we need to conduct business in other areas to show our intent and strengthen the squad. Potential players could be watching our moves and weighing up how serious we are about winning. We could potentially wait all summer for Higuain, Rooney or Suarez and when it comes to the crunch they may just turn us down because we haven't done much else.

There's not much other business to be done, only 1 or 2 players remember!

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.

So let's sit every player down and have them do a series of morality and correct thinking tests - the ones who pass we can sign. Suarez is a racist because he's the one picked out from the crowd. We also need to urgently interrogate the players who are already at the club to ensure they think the right way. Except the black players, they are automatically not racist.

Interesting.

This will be the new virtual trophy will it? Stability. It's all very convenient.

So forget Rooney - that was never happening. He wants a quarter of a million a week, we won't pay that and quite rightly so. It's a ridiculous and unjustified wage for a player that blows hot and cold. A £30mill bid for Suarez, if it even happened, is also silly. We're just testing the resolve of Liverpool and seeing if the player will jump. The bid's not serious at the moment and the wages would be prohibitive again. Higuain seemed more realistic but we'll probably haggle that one all the way to the finish line, or up until the point somebody else sweeps in and gets the deal done. We're haggling in a market where the seller doesn't have to play along. Every year it's unimaginable we don't do something to genuinely strengthen the squad. It will be just as crazy this year if we go into the season weak in the key positions but it's looking increasingly likely that's what's intended.

Lucky for us, United has a new manager and Spurs well are Spurs, so we'll worm our to 3rd or 4th again. Us qualifying for CL these past couple of seasons, has had a lot to do with other teams around us, fuck ups, more so than our quality. But they'll take it, and congratulate themselves for it.

heh

I just said you were talking shit regarding the MLk comparison and real racism. Signing Suarez is something different.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Yes, yes he is.

im not sure wenger would spend £40m on a player though.

suarez isnt going for a penny less.

wenger will never spend that much on him, deep down he knows it, so im not sure why he's wasting his time and possibly losing out on higuain.

Interesting.

“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.”
