Apparently Arsenal have triggered Suarez's release clause.
I thought he didn't have a release clause?
£40m according to reports. No idea if this is a cast iron story, just reporting what I've read.
Looked on the Guardian and don't see nothing.
Apparently Arsenal offered £40,000,001 to be exact, as anything over £40m would active his clause. 
Thanks dude.
According to this newspaper, Liverpool believe that there's no clause of 40m and this "over 40m" bid only enables Luis Suarez to talk to Wenger.
What a shit clause this is.
What a shit clause this is.
Wonder how our dear friends in RAWK feel about this clause? So much for their 60m rated player.
Finally! We get to test this so called clause.
That's one expensive chat.
What's this "must be informed of a club's interest" bollocks... is that common in contracts?
Sounds like it's tantamount to a release clause without actually being one. Clearly once it gets to that stage, if the player says "yes please" it's game over for the selling club, no?

Do you think they both have to maintain the pretence there's no way Suarez could possibly already know about the interest?
"Sit down Luis, there's something we need to talk about..."
"Arsenal you say? Wow, that's thrown me. Did not see that one coming."
So apparently Arsenal will 60m pounds this summer with this and Bernard deal. Somehow I don't see this happening.
"Did I say English media? No, no... I meant the North West media"

Right. It's 10.30 so here goes: Arsenal have had an improved offer of £40,000,001 for Luis Suarez rejected by Liverpool.I don't think the media a very active in London. It's mostly a North-West thing, media.
That seems expensive for such a troublesome player. He spends a fair chunk of each season suspended.
This guy does know the Guardian headline was tweeted half an hour ago, right?
What is it, six of next season for starters?
I'm quite looking forward to Arsenal moving back towards being a team full of insufferable cnuts. They've got far too many inoffensively bland players these days... what with Fergie and Wenger seemingly mates now, and their miserable failure on the pitch, it's worryingly hard to summon up much animosity towards them these days.
If Suarez leaves Liverpool for Arsenal, I hope he scores a tonne of goals. Arsenal aren't going to win the league anytime soon and we'll also get to see an implosion of biblical proportions on RAWK. It'll be priceless.
Liverpool to Arsenal isn't that much of a step up IMO.
fecking English media, hounding him out!
No, it's more like a step sideways... off a rapidly sinking ship onto something more stable.
Pretty much CL football really.
Outside of that, I suppose Arsenal's ground isn't a shithole, and London is a better place to live. Away from the vicious British media.
How is london away from the british media? He needs to get the fck out of dodge and go to italy or spain or france
Oh, and he can get away from hearing the accent everywhere. That in itself is worth the move... I'm starting to not actually blame him at all.
It's so weird how Arsenal have suddenly flicked a switch and are bidding for top players now.
I asked this question a week or two ago and no one really knows. The way the Mirror (I think) described it it only allows the bidding club to talk to him. There's no obligation on Liverpool to sell. With the level of tapping up and agreeing of terms prior to official discussions, I don't see what use that clause is.

Ah, bit unfair on Arsenal. I know Liverpool have maintained relative success in cup competitions, but there's a good step up to from Liverpool to Arsenal. Much better squad, a much better manager, and Champions League football.
Barrett is concrete when it comes to information regarding Liverpool. It's been rejected.
Suarez must really have got a taste for London when he ate half of Ivanovic's arm that time.
Sounds like a sloppily worded contract.
I think we can all agree it would be funny as feck if Arsenal spent a wad on loads of good players and then didn't qualify for the CL.
I reckon it's basically an emasculated release clause. Player power these days means it's pretty hard for them to turn down £40m once they've had an official chat with the player and he's expressed a desire to leave.
I guess he can now be seen in public with Arse representatives, or he can officially come out and say, Arsenal have offered me this
....?
