The 'release' clause was inserted into the new contract. It's clear that Suarez think it entitles him to go while Liverpool feel that they don't have to release him. Gordon Taylor and the PFA seem to agree with Suarez on the technicalities.
I can't stand Suarez and don't care whether we sign him or not, but Liverpool and Rodgers are fucking unbelievable if it's true.
May be they know they're doing it just to delay the whole thing till someone else bids for him and then sell him for the same 40 million. But, most-probably, Suarez's agent has done a shit job and has made his client sign a contract that is not water-tight.
Actually we can easily imagine Liverpool telling Suarez when he was signing the contract "Ok, as per your wishes we have added in this clause that if a champions league club (provided we didn't qualify), bid above 40m for you, we will start negotiations with them."
Suarez will easily think its a release clause.
Meanwhile, Wenger was speaking to Al Jazeera as usual...
"The clubs with talented players don't want to lose them," added the Arsenal manager.
"Some clubs acted very early so the choices were reduced and there is more competition coming from France with Paris St-Germain, who buy big players for huge amounts of money, so it's tough, difficult and slow.
"I can assure the fans we will try very hard to keep them happy. We are certainly ready to spend the money, but the process is going slowly but surely."
I mean, most of us could see this coming, why didn't he act faster? It was obvious our options were diminishing so quickly from early on. He nailed the exact difficulty of this transfer window, and we are unlucky that we only have money at this window and not last few windows.
