It's the muffin-top sneaking out from underneath our lovely jersey...
I'm the same.
Still it's a bit of a sick joke that for all these years we wanted a big signing and now it looks like we're going to get one we don't really want.

Gotta manage expectations somehow.

If Cesc came back I'd forgive him. My point was that he won't because his talk of loving arsenal was bullshit.
I have made peace with myself over Suarez. It will end in tears but what can you do. Just try and enjoy the football.
Why didn't we just spend this money to keep RVP last summer?

Fair play.
Its like rain- On your wedding day Its the free ride- When you've already paid.
We need to be realistic as well. Let's look at where things stand
You put all these things together and this transfer is a no-brainer. Get the boy in. It feels expensive at first but these numbers will change the way everybody both within Arsenal and beyond perceive our club.
Suarez is not comparatively better than Campbell was when we signed him. Not in a million years.
He is in a million and one years though
He definitely is, but it will only be more obvious after he start producing the goods for us. Its unfair to compare when firstly they play in different positions and secondly the latter already played for us and is a legend.
Don't give a toss about what Campbell did for us. When we signed him he was right up there with the big Italian as the best defender in the world.
You can't really be better than Sol unless you're Messi or Ronaldo to be honest. There's a good reason why almost every top club in Europe was after him. Remember thinking we had no chance of actually getting him. Was an amazing signing.

And in two-three years he'll be doing this to us ... ?
Standard antics. Days of testimonials are becoming rare at the top flight. Can't bank on a new signing staying for 5+ years. But we have a talented core (won't say the b-word) who we hope to keep at the club for stability and these volatile, genius twats would give us the shot in the arm we need.
He'll be in his 30's in 3-4 years. Perfect time to shift him to Monaco.

Its like a negrito fly in your chardonnay.
we have a good squad of good to very good players, but we lack world class talent. suarez is a world class player; easily top 5 in the premiership. he'll be great here.
suarez and 2-3 other players will make us into genuine contenders next season.
We're not going to be contenders next season, whether we get Suarez or not.
