Now you can officially start to panic...

He should give the board a list in order of preference
1. Suarez
2. Rooney
3.higuain
(Amd before anyone says we won't buy, this is an example with three strikers we have been linked too)

He shouldn't worry about realistic target as such, let the board try and buy him, let the board negotiate the price. Then if they can't because they can't afford it/club won't sell or whatever, they go down to his next target in the list .

By the time we've been given the run around by Liverpool, Rooney would have signed for Chelsea and Higuain to Napoli.

And why aren't we looking for other posistions besides a striker? When we want a player we usually get him. He spared no time signing up that broken French striker. Maybe he was number 1 on the list.

Probably because when you don't have to negotiate with a club it's a lot quicker.

Why aren't we? Good question, I hope the club are but that's not what we are talking about here. I've used strikers as examples, nothing else but point still stands. Wenger says I want these players. Club should go amd get them not wenger

it must be great to work in the media literally just sitting there taking the absolute piss out of people for a living. 55m now that is top of the range, elite journalism.

We've been in the "let's make shit up" zone for weeks now.

Someone made a bid for him that much has been confirmed, by the sounds of things it was you [it seems odd Ayre would divulge who made the bid to one media outlet and to keep quiet to everyone else, especially given how tight lipped we are with transfers after Dempsey], it was rejected. Everything else is just flat out made up.

Hasn't Suarez got a release clause of 40 million? Seem reports his agents etc say they do or at least believe they do

It’s still hours of work taken up. Why wasn’t this left on the backburner? We moved quickly to secure this guy but drag our heels on the most important signings.

Given we could speak to him from January, it's not unreasonable to move quickly. It could have been a dome deal by February, we just didn't announce until window opened. But anyway I don't know why they are dragging their heals .

The thing with Suarez deal though is that there is no time pressure, he can't play until October so we don't need him by August 17th. But we sold van Persie only three days before new season, don't think these deals are quick unless you are city etc who just throw money, if you don't have to negotiate its a lot quicker

What like Podolski or Giroud last season?

[Niall_Quinn]

ARSENE WENGER has agreed to make a £55million offer for Luis Suarez — only to be told Liverpool now want £926 billion.

I wouldn't go for him at that price.

Get this man to take over from Kroenke and it won't be a problem
