Liverpool fans are guilty of ignoring the present and lauding the past while Arsenal fans are guilty of ignoring the present and lauding the future. Arsenal will be there or thereabouts for 4th this year. If Suarez thinks he's good enough and can offer 20+ league goals then Arsenal would be a good move for him because that would push them near the top. Of course Liverpool might have a good cup run but when players like Suarez talk of winning trophies, it's the league and the CL. If he did give us those goals then it would be a good move for everyone and worth 40-50 million. If you think that the addition of Suarez wouldn't bump a team from a consistant 3rd/4th spot to say second, then a price tag of 60 million is a joke. ill put it to you this way. lets say if arsenal bought suarez for 100 million(stupid cash. im not saying he is going for that) and arsenal went on to get 95 points in teh league. arsenal could finish second with that. but would teh 100 million be worth it?? i mean how do you put a price on it anyway. its all about what aresenal are willing to pay and what liverpool are happy to sell for if suarez doesnt go this summer he has 4 years left on his contract. he aint getting any cheaper next summer. especially if he went on to have another similar season followed by a world cup

They had to try and keep the club static over the last while because of the debts and such, that's why they've never tried to make the step up before now. Believe me, if you guys go ahead with a new stadium oyou'll know all about it. If we won a league cup I'd celebrate but I'd still take competing in the CL every year over it if I was given the choice. No we didn't. Take the Reading match for example. There were some first choice players in the squad but I don't think starting the likes of Gnabry, Arshavin, Djourou, Frimpong, Coquelin, Chamakh, Martinez and Miguel with Eisfield, Meade, Bellerin, Squillaci, Shea and Yennaris on the bench constitutes a particularly strong team.

Back to Arsenal. When are we playing City and will Per and Kos be back? I presume the boss will be putting out the first team for that one?
