    I don't want to go into detail on your thread but the club has saved an incredible amount recently on wages.

    I think we need to act quickly now. We should throw in a higher bid to ramp the pressure up and maybe clinch this deal so we can concentrate on strengthening the team in other areas.

    Hah I'm actually fairly encouraged by tonight's developments! I think John W Henry is gonna rinse us though.

    Increase the bid by giving them Bendtner for free. We'll pay his wages. £40,000,002.

    Increasing our bid would be spectacularly stupid right now.

    Apparently some guardian journo said on talkSport that we will raise our bid to 45m to push it through.

    We're trying to close the deal not kill it off permanently!

    Why? It might allow Liverpool to save some face while pushing the deal through before someone else comes in to get him

    Remember last summer when the same journalists who are talking about Suarez's disloyalty tonight were irate at RVP's similar disloyalty after turning his back after one fit campaign at a club that stood by him after he broke down injury season after season?

    Oh wait, that's not how the media spun RVP's leaving whatsoever. And they even had the gall to suggest we had sour grapes over his obviously ambitious and reasonable departure.

    If they won't let him go for what we offered they won't let him go for another £5 million. It's the same as some guy for Arsenal last year, coming out and saying this stuff makes their position at the club untenable.
    If what he's saying is true and the clause is there, it would be stupid to increase the offer.
    If there's no clause he's pretty much made sure he's leaving. They'd rather sell to a foreign club than us and I'm sure word would leak if another club made a lower offer.
    I can't see the benefit in upping the bid.

    Reluctantly glad Suarez (hate modern day footballer mentality) has come out with his intentions. He should have done it sooner tbh - whoever has been advising him on this should be doing a better job.

    Arsenal are in a precarious position. Do what it takes now to get it done within the 50 mil. Otherwise vultures will start looming on dead meat come the last stint of the window.

    EDIT: Btw this is probable one of the most interesting/painful transfers our club has been involved in that I can remember. So much is riding on it's completion imo.

    Yeah, at least if we do get him we won't be surprised when he pushes for a move to Madrid next season.

    Why would they want him next season when they could get him now, probably cheaply?

    Think this is the first time in my time as a gooner that we are actually buying a proven premier league goal scorer.
    That's quite exciting.

    On the negative, I despise Suarez. The more I think about things, the more you'd wonder was there more to that bite than meets the eye. How long til he forces his way out on us?

    We don't have vast cash reserves that we can afford to spend this amount of money and it not pay off.

    Excited and apprehensive.

    Are you a liverpool fan?

    Anyways i have many liverpool fans hating on arsenal recently.

    I think those people are immature because a couple of my friends are pool fans and they dont act like that.

    They expect Suarez to go and are not bitter if he goes to arsenal or not.

    this place wasn't exactly overflowing with goodwill gestures when v.persie went to man u, now was it.
    it's to be expected

    was having a look a geoffarsenals' twitter there & he said something like 'i've a feeling there's bigger options for the midfield' can't remember exactly, but when asked if it was fabregas he meant the reply was 'no comment'

    can you imagine suarez & fabregas, randy marsh pics in every post on here :D

    geoffs also retweeting a post of his saying the the club made an enquiry about gundogan from before,
    also someone reckons because it's a john cross story that appears in, that him & geoff are the same person - made me laugh and at the same time give it some consideration :pac::pac::pac:

    Lads seriously were not signing cesc, and Suarez will be touch and go, I can still see them selling him to a foreign team, so no need for the Santi discussion he will be playing in the centre this season!
