Except then!
Yeah they might have thought it was a joke too initially, but when they found out that after turning down their 1st bid we made a 2nd one of £1 more they probably stopped laughing and thought we're a bunch of jokers.

The plain facts are however, that they don't want to sell, the clause doesn't force them to and he's under contract so the ball is in their court. They've said they don't really want to sell and that only a much bigger offer would even make them reconsider.Originally Posted by Steve French
In addition although he said he wanted to leave he said he wanted to move abroad as well.
These are the same jokers who paid £35m for Andy Carrol don't forget. And stupid money for Stuart Downing. And countless other useless bags of shite.

£35m, to my mind, was a very good bid for a player of Suarez quality. £40m is even better (forget the pound, this is just bollocks anyway, and I very much doubt they care about it, and if they did, they need to get a sense of humour).
He is not worth £50m. So all we are talking about here, is the £1.
I happen to think it's funny as fuck. And they can shove it as far as I'm concerned. The likley senario is that our extra £1 was as a return insult to Liverpool, who showed contempt for a very reasonable bid of £35m.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Even more reason why they think Suarez is worth 50 million surely?
Whether you think he's worth that or not (and I agree with you he's not), he's their player and under contract and they don't want to sell. On that basis they can name their price because they don't want him to go so will be happy either way.
I love the transfer window.
It makes perfectly reasonable people go crazy and crazy people go full retard.
I think what it boils down to is that everyone outside Arsenal feels like the club has it's place and has no business in trying to sign players like this.
Perception.
Fat Sam woz rite.
Reckon they think our place is in a small town in France somewhere, where things are cheap.
I'm usually quite calm about it all, and I still don't listen to half the bollocks out there anyway.

That said, I really wanted us to show a little bit sharpness early doors as a sign of intent. It's very difficult not to be worried, when you've seen transfer windows slip by without any urgency on our part for the last few years.
Forget the paper guff, and twitter etc, I don't believe it for one second. But I'm still frustrated we haven't added to what seem now a core of decent players, deadwood removed.
