Luis Suárez

[Leyton388]

Let them bid all summer for him and get nowhere and lose out on Higuain.

I hope so mate, just a bit worrying that Luis wants Arsenal talks...no smoke without fire etc.

What's that got to do with anything? We know he wants to go there, but that's irrelevant if they don't bid enough, which they won't. There's zero chance of them upping their bid all the way past £50m. Zero.

[Norbs]

Think of Delfina Luis! You can't spell Emirates from her name can you? Huh?

He can name his next one 'Steamier' which will be apt when he plays for a pile of **** called Arse

[Vermilion]

Arsenal adding 15mill to a 40mill bid ?

Hmmm, sounds really impossible.

But if were them, i wouldn't hesitate tbh, and they do have men with money there, that Russian Billionaire could even fund this deal for fun with his pocket change!

tbh, i didn't think they'd bid anything near 40mill for any player.

I really hope so.

Wasn't their first bid a paltry £25m?

I honestly think we're looking for £55m. That'd mean Arsenal more than doubling their first offer and breaking their transfer record by about £43m. It's just not going to happen

Think there is zero chance of them upping their bid past £40,000,001 to be honest

We'd also be looking for all of the cash up front. The most they've ever paid up front for a player is £12m. Having a laugh

That's not bad business though to be honest.

They have obviously got some encouragement from the players side so why open up with a high bid. Go low and increase unlike us in the past.

[Pablo]

We've done the derisory first bid thing in the past too. In fact I think our first bid for Suarez while at Ajax was about £12m IIRC Comolli!

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

As has been mentioned, any deal that has future fees based on performance from Arsenal should be ignored. In fact why don't we bid £750m for Messi £150m if we win the league next year £50m if we win it the year after and the rest if we win the CL in the next 3 years

Yes, low i agree, but this one is 15mill higher already.

[Fosterbloke]

Suarez looked like he didn't want to be there tonight.

[Pablo]

Yes, low i agree, but this one is 15mill higher already.

I reckon they're almost done. I think they'll now try to unsettle Luis as much as possible, then put in a final offer of about £45m, some of it made up of add-ons.

[red evil kenevil]

Just hurry the **** up RM and let's get this done with already.
