Just like Özil wasnt gonna leave Madrid, a couple of days before we signed him
So in other words he'll announce his contract with them when he's officially allowed to do so.
Don't get you - tha's what I'm saying he's gone - like Ozil was already gone when they were saying he was stayingJust like Özil wasnt gonna leave Madrid, a couple of days before we signed him
Well, Suarez is several levels above Benteke.
Benzema? Mandzukic? Someone like that.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
And RvP is a cut above Demba Ba but many gooners would happily have seen Ba back Giroud up. Suarez shouldn't even be an option period, in my view for all manner of reasons. Benzema and Mandzukic are not at the level Lewandowski is even if the former is similarly talented imho. Mandzukic is not even close to his level. Why Benzema would be even remotely available as the only recognised forward at Real is anybody's guess.
Unless Suarez's goal ratio is at least twice as good as Benteke's come the end of the season I'm not sure how Suarez can be several levels above.

The difference is, Mandzukic, Benzema and Suarez are all proven at the highest level, Benteke and Ba are living off one half decent season.
You're probably looking at £30m for Benteke. No way.

Benteke or Suarez. Benteke or Suarez. Benteke or Suarez. Benteke or Suarez. Benteke or Suarez.
Why not both?
GP is right here. You're a lot better of spending the extra 12 or so million on an actual proven class player instead of spending 30 million on someone on the rung just below whenever you can. It's much better value for money.
Take for example the Fellani vs Ozil transfers. Both went for approximate market value yet for approx 50% more than what Fellani went for, we got someone at least 3 times better. Unless you have a ridicolous Real/Bale situation there's usually a tailing of in the price vs quality curve once you go past 25 million these days. Players in the Soldado, Bentenke, Fellani are grossly overpriced for what they are - it's very reassuaring we and Wenger aren't going down the Liverpool, Spurs route of just stockpiling these sort of players anymore and instead hunting for actual quality. It's better business and it's also better from a footballing p.o.v.
Suarez should be the first target, Lewandowski if he's available though if Bayern are after him that's going to be very unlikely. If Liverpool falter away from their "title challenge" we can try again in January with hopefully him agitating for a move to a bigger team. Best of all, he won't be cup tied in Europe because Liverpool aren't in the thing this year.

Benteke is just Ba 2, good strikers, but not quite top level, would be good for depth, but not consistent starters at a club like Arsenal

Bentekkers is definitely better than Ba.
