    Really?
    Yes.

    In regards to the fact that being a druggie or a drunk are both personal traits/decisions players do in their own time away from the game that impact ONLY on the person themselves (and close family/friends), and although not ideal in a PR sense does come remotely close to damaging the reputation of a club than a player doing a Suarez or Terry.

    Would it be OK if we returned to 'the good ol days' of the 70s/early 80s where 'a couple of insulting words' was "just part of the game" - just as long as we get a world class player on board.

    Fuck, the guys probably not gonna join us anyway, but I'm disturbed by the acceptance here by his behaviour - as someone stated earlier - would you be clambering for him if it was one of our players he abused?

    Mmm... Good one - though I don't know what comparing racist statements to murder etc has anything remotely to do with football. Where as racism - or even racial acceptance/tolerance - has everything to do with the game

    No ones had a lengthy 12 plus game ban for mass genocide or any other totally irrelevant example you care to trivialise the point with.

    Whether you like it or not, it is important - we traditionally have made a point of signing not only the player but also the person when getting a player. And although you don't have to be an angel, surely getting a head case who's always a moment away from a lengthy ban isn't worth 'overlooking' -regardless of how good he his.

    Bloody right. And bloody well put

    So far as the game goes, professional footballers, awash with all of their gold, are bad enough at the best of times. Let alone racism and premeditated biting. The game is plummeting to new depths of ignorance, greed and lack of morals, season upon season.

    Arsenal are far removed from where they used to be. A club with a bit of class, who did things the right way. I understand that we have to move with the times (from a football and business point of view). But I'd rather 11 Arteta's or Mertesecker's and just be Arsenal FC, than tolerate a **** like that.

    Of course, it's natural for a fan to grow to worship a player. It's part and parcel of the game. If Suarez were to sign, and score the winnner against the spuds, I'm sure I'd dance around like a loon. He would have scored a goal. The goal is what I'm celebrating, not necessarily the personality.

    I'll still reserve my right to think that this clown is an ignorant, arrogant racist.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Luis Suarez: Brendan Rodgers dismisses £40m Arsenal bid

    Arsenal are not "anywhere near" matching Liverpool's valuation of striker Luis Suarez, according to Reds manager Brendan Rodgers.

    Liverpool rejected an Arsenal club-record bid of £40m plus £1, but Suarez wants to talk to the London club.

    The approach triggered a clause in his contract that means he has been told of the bid and can now talk to Arsenal.

    "If Arsenal want the player they have to produce the value for the player," Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo.

    "There was an offer a few weeks ago of £35m and two weeks later it is now £40m and £1. I don't think it is anywhere near the value of what he is worth.

    "It is two-fold really. A player may want to go, but then somebody has to pay the value or worth of that player."

    If Suarez hands in a transfer request, that frees up a £5m signing fee from Liverpool.
    £40m from us.

    £45m in total, get Fellaini, and title is ours.
