Don't know how I feel about it. On one hand, it'd be hilarious to see Liverpool lose their star player to another PL club again but on the other, he'd make Arsenal a much, much better team. I think I'd prefer it if he just went to Madrid.


Wenger buying a player for 40+ million alone is world news. I'd be very shocked if this deal actually happened to be honest.

The way I see it Arsenal are more than just a pretty centre forward away from being title challengers. Suarez, with his ability to pick something out of nothing, may bring success in the domestic cups though. That's about it, for me.
Now for the positives, we get to see Suarez return to Anfield and play in front of the fans that so idolised him and stood behind him. We all know he'll do something stupid while at Arsenal too, so we can enjoy that as well. From an entertainment perspective of a United fan, there's more positives than negatives regarding this move.

That's the first time I ever heard Suárez being described as pretty.
 
In other news, what has happened to my football club? I used to get excited over signing unknowns because I trusted Wenger to turn them into superheroes, and now we're bidding £40,000,000 for a single player. Jesus Christ.


It's too much to risk on a player like Suarez.
 
What?

I just said that Suarez won't be enough on his own to win the league but he guarantees a lot of added goals to your team.

And Grinner, I tend to agree, but I trust Wenger implicitly.
 
It'd be a footballitasticalicious signing.

Haven't you been in the 'Wenger out' camp, Al?

I can't help but feel we could get Rooney and one other for not much more money. Although I'm sure Rooney wants to go to Chelsea if he's going to move. I do trust Wenger too, but he has a history of getting fecked over by players so it's not him that's the issue.

When I've not been coming off post-defeat insanity, I've always been in the camp of 'if we have money to spend, then Wenger's at fault. If he hasn't, Wenger's a genius.'

It's becoming clear that Wenger wants to improve the squad and is now being backed. I agree with you on Rooney but Wenger will argue Suarez can play in attacking midfield, left wing and up top on his own. His versatility is two players.
 
On another note: I wonder why Chelsea aren't in for him. He would be perfect there. Jose would gouge players/managers eyes and then Suarez can go and bite them. He would also fit in well with Captain Marvelous.

I think we can all agree that don't allow players with questionable character anywhere near our team.

I'm pretty sure Rooney can play all of those positions....he can play anywhere and be good. He's buying Suarez to lead the line and nothing else. With those gnashers he might have him replace Gunnersaurus though.

I'm not sure Rooney's interested in coming to Arsenal and the wages are ludicrous. Whereas Suarez' external attitude is worrying, Rooney's on pitch attitude is too.

Its not the money I would be worried about, its the player you are bidding £40m for that would get me worried.
 
£50 million a fair price for a domestic rival I guess. Wenger would be completely mad to pay it though.
 
With his record of biting, they're gonna need that release clause.
 
If Suarez goes to Arsenal, then to me it seems like a signing that is done with 'fan pleasing' as a factor because we all know Wenger would never spend these ludicrous sums on any one player, especially a player that will likely miss a lot of game time due to his petulence. I cant see this going well.... BUT if Wenger can control him, Arsenal would have a genuine chance of getting 3rd place.

Or one of these in red and white.

It's Suárez's on pitch attitude that landed him an 8-game ban and a 10-game ban. "Moral issues" aside, he's quite a liability in this sense.
 
I don't get why Arsenal would want to get involved with this 'let's buy expensive' striker game. If they're going to 'swim or get drawn' mode going for the title, they'll need more than a striker for that with the way Chelsea and City going mad this season. I think for clubs like us without the sugary daddys, the way forward is United or Dortmund way: buying world class potential, and shaping them to be the best. They're maybe still expensive, but surely cost much less than buying the ready made world class player. Unless if you can get a world class bargain, like RvP for 25m, Gotze for 35m, or Thiago for 18m.

I imagine Rooney's wages will be far higher than Suarez's.
 
Great - we've just got fecking Tevez out of the league and then Arsenal move to stop Suarez fecking off as well :mad:
 
I still think he's toying with Arsenal to try and get Madrid involved. With Higuain gone, they'll definitely have room for him.

Arsenal doesn't have a sugar daddy. If they have 40+ million within their budget to spend on a player then they can do so. It's not like they're relying on external means of funding. Also, Arsenal have been "buying world class potential" for a few years now and it still hasn't quite worked out. Most people have been asking for the board and Wenger to buy top talent in order to compete so Suarez may be the first of those signings. Can't really fault them for wanting to make a push for a top player...I think we can all agree they need one after losing so many over the past 2 or 3 summers.
 
I would find it hilarious after all these years of Arsenals reserved spending, they spunk 50 mil on that rat faced cnut.

There must be some wonder kid somewhere they can spend 30m on.

They bought Podolski, Cazorla, Arteta, and Matersacker(?) in the last couple years. They're not really 'potential' anymore. Wanted Higuain for 30m was the right move, as he's still on the world class potential (albeit expensive) and could be around for 4-5 years.

We spent a lot for young players in Rooney and Rio, and shaping them to be world class. We payed over the odd for Ronaldo, Jones, de Gea, Nani, Anderson, and Smalling; but still they cost less than those 'ready made world class' one. (We did bought Veron and Berba when we are pushing for CL glory, but they were to add to league title winning squad). I think it's the only way for teams like us and Arsenal to compete with Chelsea and City. Also, most of the league best players weren't mega signings: Carrick, RvP, Mata, Fellaini, Vertonghen, de Gea, Cazorla, Silva, Kompany, Bale, etc.

Suarez for 40+m is the type of buy the City or Chelsea do, as he's a 2-3 seasons player (before angling for another move, so a bit hard to build your team around), ready made, and very expensive/not at bargain price.

But price (and bad baggage) aside, he'll be a good signing for Arsenal.
