Luis Suárez

[PTP]

Arsenal are taking the mick. They're down from £100m warchest to £70m now and have not even signed anyone. They faff around on transfers more than we do. If they fail to sign Higuain, Suarez or Rooney, their fans will be fuming

they just look a bit desperate for a marquee signing - they are just going for anyone that there might be a possibility they are available. As long as they get someone they don't care

if they don't get anyone as you say it';ll kick off down there

[Fierce]

Did they? I heard it was £30m and the balance of the £80m would be his wages over a 5 year contract..

They didn't say that at all. I believe from the bbc pages that some rag or other said it would cost Chelsea that much to buy him including his wages of 200k/ week over 5 years.

Right. With you

To be fair I just saw a headline on a paper on the train this morning. I didn't read it I was too engrossed in what was happening to Jack Reacher

[5europeancups]

I know the players have been superb of late and it's not right to single out any one player but seriously how good is Suarez? After watching sulky bollox for half the season, Suarez coming in is just what we needed.

Commitment,Enthusiasm,Skill, Pace,Aggression,Scoring,Assists etc guy has it all. Stand out in so many games already.

Stranger things have happened

Liverpool swap Torres for Suarez plus 15m??...

That suggests that Torres is worth £35m -

[Baracus]

No. Cash. 55m+ or 40m and Mata from Chelsea.

[RedReet]

I'm not for building a team around any one individual or two. You just cant rely on players to stick around. Last season our whole team was geared upto Suarez's strengths. When they leave it drops you in it.

Rather buy quality players throughout and a build a team ethos that does not rely on one star to win games for us

In what way? He was our best player, but that was through talent, the team was hardly built around him which was evident when Sturridge slotted in seamlessly. There is also the fact that for teh first few months most fans were still arguing that Suarez can't play as a CF.

Hulk going for 60m Euros and we are being offered £35m for Suraez. Hulk is ****e

[spanky]

Hopefully the club know they have all the cards in this situation, if he goes then he goes for mental money based on the current transfers

he's gash

[Shaggy]

he's gash

****e. Kicks it really hard - that's it. He's fetched almost a combined £100m in the last year or so. Yet we're scratching around for £40m+ for the infinitely better Suarez.

it's farcical stuff alright.

[Fredo]

We're assuming that we're going to let him go for £40m but Barrett last night hinted at we were looking for far more. So not sure why we're worrying about here.

Apparently he has a clause at £40m which he and his agent believe he can leave for but we think it only allows talks, not a sale at that price

[Fredo]

And if ever there was a clause in his contract, it was something which was agreed upon before he went on and had a fantastic season last year, which in fact increased his value. I'm sure the club would have built some legal safety net in there to ensure they get market value for him.

So, as you all say, Hulk, Cavani etc ... If they're going for the amount of money being purported, you can bet that we'll be looking at Suarez in context with those cases.

So speculating eh?
