I am also sick of us buying 2nd rate players like Podolski, Gervinho, Santos etc when we now have the financial power to get the best out there. Look at Higuain one of the best strikers in world football and we wouldnt pay the extra few million for him. A player who could of took us to the next level.

But the fact you put Podolski in the same sentence as Gervinho and Santos either shows a lack of knowledge or being blinded by furstration I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say it's frustration because Podolski is a fantastic player when you have neutrals coming in and praising your players such as Gav you should take note because they have no bias at all. Also will people stop banging the Higuain drum for now at least :rolleyes:, we were in for him we decided to go for Suarez instead who is the better player, if we get him im sure everyone in here who has been banging the Higuain drum will suddenly go very very quiet.

As I said I think he is good to have in the squad if you want to rotate and rest some of the more regular starters. Why do you think we only finished 4th its because we have too many players like Podolski that aren't top class but just good decent players who will get the job done against lesser teams but will always fall short against the best on a consistent basis.

Luis Suarez to consider transfer request in Liverpool dispute Luis Suarez will consider submitting a formal transfer request and the possibility of court action if his Liverpool dispute is not resolved. say sources close to the player. The 26-year-old believes Arsenal's bid of just over £40m triggered a clause in his contract that allows him to leave. Liverpool rejected the offer and insist the clause does not force them to sell. "We want to [sign Suarez] if it is feasible in an amicable way," said Gunners manager Arsene Wenger. "We will respect what Liverpool want to do. I don't want to speak about Suarez, because that is between Liverpool and Arsenal. "I am a great believer you have to keep as much confidentiality as possible, which is quite difficult in the modern world. "But we work very hard, not only on the case you name, but on other different cases. We can still strengthen the squad, there is one month to go. We are at the beginning of August and working very hard to strengthen our squad. "I am confident. You look at many teams around us. Nothing has happened until now. At the moment the market hasn't moved a lot. Apart from Manchester City, nobody has done anything." Arsenal made their club-record offer of £40m plus £1 for Suarez in the belief that it would enable them to secure the Uruguay international's services. It is understood that when Suarez signed a new contract in August 2012, he requested a clause that allowed him to depart if Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League and received a bid in excess of £40m. Liverpool refused this but suggested an arrangement that obliged them to act in good faith if those conditions were met, which Suarez argues he only accepted because he felt there was verbal agreement from all parties that - despite the new wording - it would work in the same way as a release clause. While Liverpool are confident that from a legal perspective their position stands up to scrutiny - and Suarez reluctantly agrees - the player is adamant the Reds have gone back on their word and feels let down. He has informed Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers of his desire to leave for Champions League football and the only proposal on the table is from Arsenal, with reported interest from Real Madrid failing to materialise. Whereas Liverpool have not played in the Champions League since 2009 and missed out on European qualification altogether for next season, Arsenal will feature in the competition for a 17th consecutive campaign. Sources close to Suarez say he will consider taking his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and he did go down a similar route when Dutch side Groningen turned down an offer from Ajax for his services in 2007.
