Luis Suarez thread

i know, that's why i said incoming players

Point is, it’s not hard to follow the reverse process. I don’t think we’ve cocked up badly. Liverpool are just playing their hand and I wouldn’t pay too the much attention to the jabs aimed at Arsenal. If backed into a corner they have to play ball.

Liverpool are banking on foreign clubs bidding. They must be pretty surprised that no foreign clubs have bid for him.

They've been a bit unlucky in the fact that Falcao, Cavani and Neymar have all been available this summer and that Madrid seemingly only have eyes for Bale.

They'd have probably got much more joy from selling him last summer or next summer.

Yep, regardless of how we handled this, they'd be reluctant to sell to us.

we cocked up higuain and pissed off liverpool. it has been nothing short of a shambles.

No doubt it’s been a shambles but Liverpool were always going to make things difficult for us. They see us as rivals and want that Champs League spot. All the talk about class, the extra penny ‘insult’…whatever. If we’d have bid £41m instead they’d play the same card.

It was a pound god damn you, a pound!

We didn't cock up Higuain, we decided not to sign him because we've been informed by Suarez's people that he's up for joining us. Suarez is a much better player than Higuain.

Of course when the Suarez deal falls through then everyone will say we should have signed Higuain. It's a difficult one tbh.

if thats your attempt to cheer him up, i dont think its going to work

Nothing gets past you does it

Change for some Haribo. Not too shabby.

the suarez links accumulated after higuain. we spent nearly 2 whole months on higuain, spoke to his reps, agreed terms with him, spoke to madrid numerous times, and he ended up at napoli. we cocked it up. we could have had a world class player embedded into the team and we could have diverted our attention to a DM or CB with plenty of time left for other targets. this would have had little effect on the team going into the new season. but once again we're going into the new season in tatters, relying on one player to come and relying on negotiations with a club we've already pissed off. Shambles.
