Luis Suarez thread

[Grebbo]

Ironically, Levy could be doing us a favour at the moment.

While he's holding out on Madrid for Bale, they won't enter the market for Suarez.

They will if they sell Ronaldo.

Suarez will join us as a last resort. This means it's going to go down to deadline day. Anything can happen on deadline day, I still think it's very unlikely we'll sign Suarez.

Roll on Jim White

Pound mate not a penny. Makes a big difference.

If they sold Ronaldo and brought in Suarez, the Ultras would riot. Also, for Perez's side, Suarez has nowhere near the earning potential that Ronaldo does (hence why they're called Marketing) so I don't think that's likely.

If they did sell Ronaldo, it's only to finance the Bale move.

i think £45m will do the trick. taking it to court is nonsense; suarez will probably stop playing during the trial which hurts liverpool's chances of getting into top 4, and courts takes months to sort out.

they wont sell for £40m.

they'll sell for £45m + maybe a few add ons.

just make the bloody bid wenger and get it over with. for the sake of a few million quid it really isnt worth the hassle + potentially losing the player to another team.

I dunno...I get the impression we have really wound Liverpool up. Of course they want rid of him but I get the impression we are pretty much the last club they would sell him to.

That few extra million won't be stumped up IMHO, we've made our stance pretty clear and I think we would sooner walk away than pay up, we've done it countless times before and dare say we'll do it again.

IIRC, Wenger also stated that our pursuit of Suarez was on hold until the court case with Liverpool was sorted out.

but if we dont sign suarez who else have we been linked with that we could sign? gazidis cant be stupid enough to give that statement then come out of a transfer window with no major signings?

Yeah that's what I meant, Bale replaces Ronaldo and Suarez is a bonus. The RM fans voted Bale as their number 1 target.

I think we'll go after midfielders instead and stick with Giroud if we can't get Suarez.

We'll most likely not sign anybody or at least nobody we really need.

Wenger and Gazidis will just spin it with we tried to sign Higuain & Suarez but it never worked out blah blah blah.

You have to hope they aren't that stupid. We're involved in the most complicated saga of the window, a lot has to go right for this deal to come off. So who else is in the frame should it go wrong? Not a peep or a leak from anywhere, nobody talking about anything. Are we that good at keeping our targets a secret?

Gareth Barry?
