Our only chance of acquiring him is if/when Liverpool decide he is too disruptive and/or that 40 million plus is too much money to have wasting on the sidelines. So we are not really in competition with anyone else for him and of course it is a serious bid.

I'm happy to see we're making big money offers but these offers will not be accepted and thus, are meaningless and a waste of the club's time.

Very interesting point in the guardian yesterday which basically said Higuain could only play in the CF position which means benching him or Giroud always whereas Suarez could play instead of him or with him. That's quite a difference and who knows what other ones there are?
We just all wanted Higuain because then it'd be over, we 'd have our star striker and we could stop reading this thread.
In reality though there's s lot about Higuain we don't know because despite what we like to think we're a fairly ignorant bunch when it comes to the nuances of particular players.

It's a bit of a joke. Most of us are running out of hope.
speedboatchase wrote: » Spurs have signed Soldado for €30m. That's one of the last few top class strikers around if the Suarez deal doesn't go through now off the market. It also means that Liverpool's striker replacements if they are to sell Suarez are smaller. Makes that unlikely deal less likely now in my opinion.
