Luis Suárez

[fah-q]

Hilarious all the Arsenal fans who hated Suarez and wanted him kicked out of the game now suddenly interested (and pretty excited in some cases) in him coming to their club.

Arsenal are just trolling. Ridiculous in so many ways. We should respond by making 1p offers for each of their (half decent) players on a daily rotation.

Was it Bascombe who broke the story? I'm wondering if it was us who leaked the story to warn potential bidders we won't accept stupid bids and to get them to make offers

[ElRobbie]

Why not try and swap Suarez for Higuain or Benzema?

Could be wrong but I thought it popped up from the Times first, though most of the London media seems to have got it at once. Which would maybe indicate Arsenal leaked it?

Lack of Champions League football in WC year might not be the best advised move tbh.

ta, I just looked back on this thread to see

For established players like Suarez, Higuain and Benzema is doesnt matter if they are playing in a CL team or not. They are well and truely on the radar, and as long as they are playing good football thats all that matters.

Different kettle of fish for someone on the fringes or an "up and comer" though.

The confirmed £30m bid by Arsenal for him is laughable. If they made it to spur Madrid into selling Higuain to them, I can't see how it would work. Bidding well below value for another striker just makes you look like idiots

they'll just up the asking price to £30m now.

There's too much thought gone into this bid from the Arsenal board (you know its come from there rather than Wenger). My take on it is they keep raising the bar when brainwashing their fanbase year after year. Hats off to them.

They don't want Higuin and they seriouly don't want Suarez. What they DO want is to force Real to up the Higuin price so the board can turn around and say "ah well Liverpool said no for Luis, but you saw us bid right?". And "Madrid are charging an unfairly inflated price on a older striker who is not worth £30m".

Market played, fans appeased, stadium money saved for another year.

Not quite sure that they want Madrid to force up the price for Higuain. But, if they have a warchest of £100m and people are adamant they are going to break records, why don't they just go and sign Higuain. There is a certain element of taking the p*ss out of their fans for sure.

As any other club supporters would be.

They can call him a racist, a cannibal etc but there is no denying he is a world class and they all would give their right hand for him to join them.

[el matador]

i think its a clever move by arsenal.

they know they cant get the player and the bid wont be accepted. So its a message to real madrid to get the higuain deal done quickly because the suarez bandwagon has started.

What it does is set a mark for where the bidding starts.

Is it really that clever? If precisely everyone here and in the British media can see through it then I'm pretty sure Madrid can.

it forces the suarez issue.
