I'm surprised they even went as high as 40m for such a player (by that I mean his baggage) so even if we fail with Suarez ( I can't fault them for refusing to pay a price I would not pay) this will go a long way to redeem our image as a club without ambition.
Yes, it'll go a long way further if we actually land a big fish though.

Once you are going over £40m we should definitely be looking at other big name targets.
Who do you have in mind? There are probably quite a few players we could start to get some leverage on with that sort of money. But Benteke's re-signed and isn't worth it, Michu's not worth it, Lewandowski seems tied down, Jovetic has moved ...

Suarez is probably interested, but I don't think Liverpool will sell to us in a million years no matter the size of the bid. Have to say, it pisses me off that Jovetic went to City for £26 million while we're wasting our time here.
Wages probably ruled him out. He seems a less proven player than our other targets too, though I don't know him well.
