Luis Suárez tells Liverpool he won't play anymore pre season games until he gets his future sorted. Says he wants to force a move to Arsenal. What do people think of this? Source is the Mirror

06 Aug 2013 19:17:29
Suarez on his way. Fee negotiated at £45m. Legal work, etc in progress. All in time for the CL playoffs and for Liverpool to sign his replacement.

I do hope this is true

You know this because you spoke with the club mascot?

this rumour hit twitter lastnight, be good if its true though

Robbie that's a good try but there's not a day goes by without someone saying something similar. someone is going to be right but I don't think it's you.

Robbie explain how you know this to be true as we are all getting fed up with all these stupid deal done posts that turn out to be total crap.

Are you at least going to try and valodate this with a source?

Lets hope so because this is getting drawn out now, I would like a end to it no way or another

You this because you slept with Brendan Rogers?

For those cynics, I can reassure you the wheels are in motion. Of course I can't give the source, as its sensitive and can't be divulged. Trust me, he is on his way, all being well.

Is your source the sun newspaper? If so he should be having his medical just after hig's lol.
these rumours an secret sources are getting worse.

Does Robbie Gunner work for the telegraph or guardian then?

Same old same old but I hope you are right

I hold slum nothing's for this but if your right would explain why he was left out from Norwich friendly due to injury

I can find some truth in your news Robbie as just now the news broke out about Suarez has gone public with his desire to leave for Arsenal. Thanks for news in advance!

He is coming, it goes like this: the £40,000001 offer is enough anyway it says in the contract if they didn't make it last year which they didn't he can leave for a cl club ie us, but Liverpool are playing like a bunch of spoilt children, breaking the contract and there word to saurez, saurez has already stated this, they just can't handle that the bid has been put forward buy arsenal and now he is worth a lot more from last years performance but that's there fault, so there now trying to say anything to get there way buy saying he worth £50m now as much as bale £100 even got the cheek to disrespect are club saying were not cl team cause we ain't qualified anything to keep him, that's why wenger has said he will sit back and wait, he knows we have them on the back ropes, we been there many times it's are turn so IMO year he coming? Sorry for long post

I have been very cautious with my optimism regarding the Suarez deal, however this post seems very credible now that the player has declared his intention to leave and join us. this is by no means a guarantee it will happen but with the whole debacle over the $40,000, 001 bid, it looks as if Liverpool are playing games and are trying to drag this out to find a replacement. trying to control my excitement as I don't want to be let down again

not sure how these clauses work. Ed02 would know, but he doesn't like this page.

well we will have to wait till the transfer window to end to find out, if it was a buy out clause or a release clause, how these clauses work. if the club has to accept it and notify the league or it automatically gets accepted? god and Ed02 know, but its unlikely we will hear from either of them

{Ed022's Note - As I see it there is a discrepency of the £40m plus clause in Suarez's contract. His agent feels if a club bid over £40m and are in the champions league (which Arsenal technically are) and officially will be soon, then Liverpool have to accept. Liverpool are playing hardball and claiming that the clause only means they have to inform the player. In an ideal world Liverpool will sell to Real Madrid. A bit like Arsenal wanting to sell RVP to Juventus (for less money). Instead Arsenal had to sell to a rival and basically handed United the league. Liverpool are scared that the gap between the top four and them would increase should they sell to Arsenal...}

IBTimes reported yesterday that Wenger might be interested in Ciprian Marica, 27 year old striker from Rumania. He is on a relative low salary (32k per week) and was released by Schalke so he would be on a free contract.

This seems to be a Wenger's Trademark signing.

Hope we won't cease to pursue Suarez.

Apparently there is a difference of 20k/week between what Cesar wants and what we're offering. Why don't we give him what he wants and forget about this tragedy! Schalke don't even want him FFS!

Would smack of desperation. He was so good his team let him leave!

Real display of intent, another sicknote who can keep Diaby company.

Suarez to sign for real madrid. Arsenal to attempt to sign Ba, not Torres. Torres is on far too much money at Chelsea. I'd take Ba, as back up, but surely our priority should be a keeper, then a defender, then a tough midfielder. It's obvious. We were out of the running last season by gameweek 4. I fear the same if we continue to ignore the glaring deficiencies in the team. If we don't sign a keeper, Wenger must take the blame. Reina and Cesar have been available and at no huge cost.

We conceded only one goal in our first 4 games last season. Your argument is invalid

06 Aug 2013 15:23:09
What a nugget
The deficiencies lie in the centre halves; because we only have 2 to call on at the moment
And centre forward; because giroud is the only one that is a true centre forward
We need to add one player to each of these and then add a rband cm {Ed027's Note - register please

06 Aug 2013 15:36:14
Don't need a tough midfielder no top teams have one anymore. {Ed027's Note - register please

My argument isn't invalid. My point was we were out of the running so early last year, and unless we address our biggest problems now, we'll be in the same situ this season. Last year we were defensively tight for a few weeks, then it all went wrong. Being unable to score in the first few weeks cost us last season. Just because I didn't point that out, doesn't mean my point isn't a good one. Who honestly thinks without a keeper, defender, and tough midfielder we can compete beyond the fist few weeks of the season? {Ed027's Note - register please

Reina is on loan for the season and then going to Barca' - Cesar will most probably end up at Napoli who are paying stupid money for everything - both are on huge salaries at their respective clubs - neither are worth the inflated salaries that they are on.
I don't think anyone has missed a trick here apart from yourself.

I don't contend that we should make additions to the defense.
But as for "glaring deficiencies". we had the second best defense in the league last year.

And for the latter half of the season (our most successful half) we had only 2 to call on, as TV5 was injured and Djourou was on loan.

How do you like them Nuggets?

My thoughts are,
A more intelligent CB, The big man gets found out for pace and sits deep.
A Defensive Midfielder, e. g. Gilberto, Song
A classic CF with more bite to him than Giroud

Add a RB? We have Sagna and Jenks, surely along with LB and attacking mid this is one area we don't need to strengthen?

06 Aug 2013 17:54:01
We absolutely DO need a right back. Anybody with half a clue can see that Sagna is completely and utterly finished beyond all recognition.

We need a striker of quality!
don't win games without scoring goals
northern gooner

Sanogo is similar to Ba so I can't so us getting Ba

Yep, anyone with half a clue can see that Sagna is finished, and I would suggest that you indeed only have half a clue.

Freiburg likely to demand 15 million for promising CB Mathias Ginter after they rubbished reports of an offer of 7 million from Arsenal

No chance, 15M? Did you see him in the under 21's this summer? 8-9M tops.

I don't think that if Arsenal is linked with a Feyenoord defender it is Janmaat, I expect Wenger if he wants a Feyenoord player to get Bruno Martens Indi.
