Because we're the current highest bidders for Higuain (as far as anyone knows) and Madrid thinks he's the only horse in the New Arsenal Centre Forward Derby - so it's in our interest to let them think there might be another runner.
But they want Suarez, right? I thought that was the conspiracy theory - that we're threatening them of nicking Suarez. But at the end of it we're just raising the price for them. Which, come to think of it, might be the threat.
My head hurts. I reckon we've bid for Suarez because we want Suarez. He's a fantastic player, but he's also a stupid shit that is likely to make managers tear their hair out. He's banned for the first 8 or so games, don't forget. £30m is not a bad offer - no matter what the deluded scousers say. They're never going to get over £40m for this twat.
