Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Ollie the Optimist]

Speak to Ollie he'll help you convince yourself, he's the go to man when it comes to Suarez.

ive never said that we will sign him. ive just used him as examples when talking about players or just posted what the media are saying because funnily enough if they are saying we bid for him then its arsenal news and worth talking about.

Yeah trouble is there's a new BS story every single day, they found something to talk about and have got their teeth round it and won't let go. First we bid 30 million, then it's 35, then it's 42 and now it 40 million and 1 pound. Oh and Liverpool want 55 million but don't want to sell him but might.

Oh and we'd have to pay him 250k a week. Assuming we sign him up for 5 years for example that's a 105 million pound deal at least.

the one thing i dont understand about this clause and being able to talk to the bidding club. why would you do that? bidding club bids 40 million, player talks to them and agrees terms, sets heart on move to bidding club. selling club say well we only said you could talk to him, we still want 55 million. bidding club says no. selling club have a pissed off player who wants to leave being made to stay at a club. it makes no sense, everyone loses

think you might finally be onto something here.

Read the guardian article on the matter. The deal is if Suarez wanted a move, there could be messy legal ramifications if the £40m bid wasn't accepted.

but this clause is there according to all reports ive seen, tahts why we bid the £1 extra. its either meaning he can talk to us or its actually his release clause.

but also reading further times reporters etc tonight, liverpool are allowing us to talk to him. why do that if you reject the bid?

140k apparently. cant see him agreeing to five years nor us offering it because of his reputation. 3/4 years max id say

At £40m, you'd better believe it's at least 5 years.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's on!

In summary, the newspapers are guessing the nature of this 'clause':

1) Suarez is allowed to talk to Arsenal (pretty fucking expensive conversation)
2) Suarez must be told about the bid (pretty fucking expensive statement of the obvious)
3) Santa Claus (doesn't fucking exist)
