heard that arsenal have made a £42m bid for suarez, thought to be £35m cash plus £7m add onns

arsenal to miss out on higuan who is set for napoli medical and is currently discussig personal terms -

I'd have preferred Higuain. But seems another one we've missed out on again. Sorry who said Higuain was a done deal?

40mill + 1. epic {Ed030's Note - Not really,It greatly reduces you're slim chance of getting him,It will make Liverpool more reluctant to sell him to Arsenal. }

Liverpool would probably agree if it was a straight 41 mill, why add 7 mill of addons which most of these addons will include arsenal winning trophies which they haven't for some time. this is what Liverpool would be thinking. We're leaving the door open for Real Madrid to make a move as soon as higs is gone {Ed030's Note - I think Liverpool will look for around £50 million straight. }

Arsenal won't pay 50 mill. if we have gone to 40-41-42, whichever is correct. 2-3 million at most and they will pull out.

Deluded to think lfc will accept that

Bernard
Suarez
Cesar

Are all close to being Arsenal players as I posted before there has been a offer of 40m by Arsenal which Liverpool have decided to accept knowing Real Madrid won't pay that fee for Suarez and all other suitors who have interest are currently unwilling to. Arsenal are the only team to bid for Suarez as to date and Livepool have already entered negotiations with Valencia for Soldado and are close to agreeing a fee.

A defensive midfielder will be signed and this should be followed by a defensive signing due to our recent injuries.

Fellaini/Matuidi and Fellaini are all targets and we have small interest in Gustavo although his club are in talks with Wolfsburg now. The above three are seen as better targets with a greater physical presence and dominance on the ball in comparison to Gustavo who although is quite tall has a very slim frame. Also the fact Gustavo is behind Paulinho/Sandro and Ramires for Brazil has made him a less priority target.

I apologize I did forget to out Kondogbia in that list of DM and he is a very realistic target who is seen as a technical player as well as a strong tackler which suits Arsenal's style of play perfectly.

Sky has already reported we were weighing bidding for him but I can confirm we are in talks with Sevilla and he is the likeliest option for DM.

Lol I like it when people make things up and guess which players are coming in with random dates and pretend they're 'insiders' just because they've got info from their best friends uncles cat that knows a dog that's got a pet rabbit with one leg and a baseball cap

Big mick

I thought Bernard was rubbished as a hoax. Was/is there real interest?

I'd be pretty happy if we got Suarez, Bernard, Cesar and Fellaini. That would be real strengthening, but it also seems possible that we won't get any.

Liverpool will not accept 40m end of story and they defo not going to accept the 35m + 7m add ons that the mail are reporting tonight! if we want Suarez then we would need to offer 45-50 cash I reckon!

When asked bernaard didn't comfirm or deny the link with arsenal

Strange that considering the bid has been rejected and the chances of saldado ending up at liverpool are less than slim.

Arsenal to announce C�sar, Williams and hopefully Higua�n or Su�rez on monday July 29th, when Wenger and the squad has returned from the Asia-tour.

0% chance of this happening

I am not certain we will sign a keeper, as we have Szczesny & Fabianski with Martinez as 3rd choice.
I have a feeling we will sign Williams, a player I like very much. he can settle in easily as he plays in the Premier. he doesn't affect our 'foreign' quota and I think he can also cover at left-back, with Monreal injured, this could be vital. We would then have 4 centre backs & 4 full backs.
Higuain is still a possibility, I prefer Suarez.

You are guessing- so you could be right, you could be wrong.

If I was going to guess a date I'd say 8th of August at the arsenal members day (a good way to appease the fans) or on hmm I believe 28th of August after our champions league qualifiers. Don't just pluck a date. Have some depth to it.

Also sick of hearing Suarez' name. 6 game ban at the start of the Season and don't rate him.

We won't be getting Hig or Williams! Cesar is probably the most likely and I'd like Suarez too but I can imagine Brendan Rogers blocking our move for him!

Absolutely no chance - I am now coming round to the harsh reality of no new signings and an injury hit squad starting the new season - another complete shambles - and I feel sorry for the season ticket holders who have been duped yet again by empty promises - anyone out there that can play centre back because we could be shrt come August 17th?

Wenger is doing what he has done for the last 9 seasons posturing, pretending to make bids (well below the asking value) for players he knows he will not spend decent and proper money for - Wenker is a JOKE the sooner he's gone the better.

I'm bored with the posters who keep saying this will happen by such and such a time.

Wenger will always be given new contracts because he saves the club money and after all the people who run the club are not football fans, but businessmen who just count their money. If it continues much longer like this, we will fall from a top 4 side and the future will be bleak - get rid of Wenger now!

"after all the people who run the club are not football fans, but businessmen who just count their money"

So what difference will it make if it's Wenger or another manager?

Because another mamager may not stand for mediocrity and actually demand new signings. Would Mourinho settle for 2nd best?

Stop talking rubbish

I'm sick of all this Wenger bashing. You must be stupid if you think that Arsene has any say in how much money gets spent. He is just another employee who has to do what he is told or is asked to leave.

Same I'm sick of the fickle Wenger badgers. Get with the program (behind the team) or get off the train (or f&£k off)

Tru fan
