Luis Suárez

[Sarb]

Arsenal thought because of the clause they could get Suarez on the cheap.

Have a read of John Cross' article this morning. So arrogant and flippant. He's Wenger's mouthpiece. Talking of wanting a deal done in 48 hours and all this crap. You don't do big deals in 48 hours, but then again Arsenal don't know much about big deals

Rodgers confirms Luis Suarez will play against the Thai national team if fit #lfctour

[Sarb]

Club's official twitter account this morning going all out on Suarez. Just don't think there is any desire within the club to sell him

[Fan65]

He can't play until October because of his ban so why not let the whole issue slide.

There doesn't appear to be an escape clause in his contract so just keep any official discussions with agents/suitors private and make no comments other than "he's under contract as a Liverpool player.

Even if we got £50 million + before the window slams shut I doubt we could get a realistic replacement that soon, we could even end up with another Carroll scenario.

Come October he'll be biting mad to play football again

His value wont diminish over another year so why not wait.

Disaster ain't it, to be fair he's probably not very impressed with our ambition in the window so far. I still believe we will fall short of fourth with the current squad.

I agree with MrM above and also Rodgers. His desire to join Arsenal is just totally bizarre. People can say what they like but they are not a bigger club than us, not in any terms. He'd be better off giving it another season here and moving to a foreign club next summer if he still wants to move on and we don't make the CL

I think if he does stay this season he will move next summer even if we qualify for the CL. The only scenario I can see him possibly staying in is if we win the PL.

Cannot disagree with that tbh, we needed at least one player who is proven and will walk into our first team and improve it instantly. But, there is still a long way to go in the window so we do have time to add that quality (I just hope we have the money!).

first Bangkok training session today

Looks pretty ****ed off to be honest. He's all but gone.

I just don't understand the desire to move to a club that has won nothing for almost 10 years. Yes the are in the CL but lets face it they have about as much chance of winning it as we currently do. Arsenal is not a football club but more of a business that is happy to finish 4 each season.

If we end up buying Carroll for £35m again then I'm giving up football

There could be something in him wishing to move his family to a city like London though. If anything I am surprised Chelsea have not made a move for him, if they did we could potentially do a decent deal with them.

He doesn't have a gripe with his mates though Nige

:ewarwoo: If he stays I'll leave EST, will you go if he goes? :ewarwoo:

Indeed. Arsenal is the 2nd worst case scenario as they could occupy the final CL place after City, Chelsea and Spurs. The worst case scenario is if he signed for Utd and propelled them in to Europe

Why would he want to move to London though? Surely he gets less hassle from the press in Liverpool than he would in London? But then again, I don't live in London so I don't really know

Moving to Arsenal makes no sense whatsoever for me. They're happy just to finish 4th every season and I can't see him winning a trophy there. Lack some serious bottle
