He's 26. If ever, this is his big move.

Today we practise diving and curling up into the foetal position as if you're a black man being beaten by the LAPD then making the cardy cardy gesture.

Stories keep coming, must be something in them.

We must be talking to his agents and he must want to come here. Same seems to be true of Higuain of course.

If this really happened it appears I was understating it when I called Wenger a turkey and a clown.

😆 This is the best transfer season ever!
Surely everyone will see now that Wenger is clearly insane and they'll have to remove him.

Biggus you're the only one using this bid as proof of Wenger's insanity.
I don't think anybody else on here believes that.
The non Arsenal types that I've spoken to have raised an eyebrow but reckon it's a show of serious intent from us for once.

If fangface scores us 30 PL goals this season and keeps his reprehensible, vile mouth shut I can handle this - tainted though it may be.
I still can't get my head around us bidding £35m.
Hope this doesn't mean that we're not going for Gustavo.
I want a player to like to compensate for the one I loathe this window.

Don't trust Daily Mail. They are the worst of the rags and I always get the feeling that they regularly make stuff up. (unlike many others who do reporting based on flimsy and unreliable 'sources') They seem to think that we have made two bids of 30 and 35 million before, but, Liverpool have always stated that there has been one bid.

Just sign him and get it over with.

Yes he's a cunt, yes he is. Good for nothing racist scum cheating piece of shit.

But minimum he will score 25 goals.

His name on our team sheet will minimum give us 10 extra points.

All of the above is worth more than his asking price.

signing no striker is a lot bigger crime.

I'm ready to sell out as his arrival will be massive and send shock waves in the league.

Arsenal will be talked about and hated again and that's what we've wanted for years.

We had one of those- Wenger sold him to Man U for 23M remember, now I'm no financial genius like Wenger but even I could work out that it would have been a lot cheaper to double RvP's wages (that should have overcome any ambition worries) then to try to fork out 35M+ ratty's wages a year later......

But van Persie wanted to leave, we offered him improved terms and he rejected them.

not an issue. If we had doubled the wages, he would have stayed.
or maybe we should have doubled the wages when he was down injured and he would have accepted.

It does seem as though none of the bigger club want anything to do with Suarez which is why we even have a chance of signing someone as good as him. I say take it. I don't think I'll ever like him but sometimes you gotta compromise.

Fair play Alf, I've been re reading this thread and you always rated Suarez even before it was fashionable.
As I said before in the other thread that was locked- I want us to be hated too, but because we are jammy and win things not because we have a cunt like him in our team.

Anyhoo, time for a look at this classic again.

Seems like the Suarez issue is not really a great moral dilemma afterall.
Excuse the pun, but it seems to be a clear black and white issue amongst us fans.
There is hardly any fence sitting or gnashing of teeth going on.

Personally, as if i haven't made myself clear, i would prefer us to act the cunt and sabotage the spuds move for Soldado rather than buy the cunt that guarantees meeting with the FA and you know how much they love us already!

None of that messing about in midfield, this guy seems to be a proper goal-hanging number 9 with pace and skills to boot!

I love those kind of players selfish blinkered bastards who only have eyes for the goal, like Wrighty in the old days.

But Y'Know......Wenger knows.....

It's possible to like both if the results are good as i loved both Wrighty and Henry.

@ Dules or any La Liga expert.
That is a genuine question re:Soldado.

Henry?

Is he too much of a Wenger player Biggus?

He was the complete player he could dance he could sing he could do everything.

He's not bad, but he's not top notch. Think they're better off targeting a younger player

How does Geoff get the credit when we have been discussing this amongst ourselves for days based on comments from Suarez, his agent, Liverpool, Brendon Rodgers, Tom, Dick and Harry.

Obviously we would prefer an upgrade, so is he marginally or much better than Giroud?

I think giroud is better

But then I think giroud is underrated here

If he is worse than the G-meister, then spurs are welcome to him.

Soldado is a decent player and would probably improve us, but he's really not any better than who we've already been linked to. He'd be a very good signing for Tottenham though (or Liverpool if they sell Suarez).

@lorddulaarsenal wrote:

Indeed, and if Wenger was a better manager he would know how to use him to advantage.

Wow. Now Suarez knows that we have bid for him. It must be a revelation to him.

I wonder what the point of inserting such a clause in the contract is. Did anyone realistically think that a high profile bid will be made for the player and he won't be aware of it?

Predicted the day and amount correctly.

Are the figures and dates very different from what his agent/agents have been saying all along?
