Telegraph reporting that we've had a £30 million bid rejected by Liverpool for Suarez

Personally don't believe it for a second!

I have a feeling this is to hurry along the deal for Higuain. So far it's looked like:

Deal agreed
Fee agreed
Higuain's camp happy.
Madrid suddenly not happy and playing hardball (I didn't think this was possible if you have agreed a fee but still. Ddin't think you could talk to the player until then but perhaps if the club allows then you can, I don't know)
So what do we do? Well first we give them the finger and say fine we'll look elsewhere, then we raise the other finger and put in a bid for one of their targets.

It's a nice move if that's what it is. Obviously bidding £5m below Suarez's fee would be rebuffed immediately by Liverpool.

I think this is paper talk. I really don't see wenger going for Suarez.

Telegraph is one of the most reliable and it sounds like arsenal to bid 30m for a player worth 40m. If we can bid 30m for suarez I don't understand why we can't cough up 25m for higuain. a person tweeted the article with the caption - how much? Maybe this was the mystery 30m bid

The Telegraph story is very reliable. Arsenal bid for Suarez as an alternative to Higuain. The hold up with Higuain is nothing to do with Arsenal or Real delaying a deal and everything to do with the player. Looks like the player is not convinced about moving to the Gunners

Thats why they suspended betting

There just board arsenal are two smart to buy a player with a 10 match ban who can't be controlled. absolute rubbish.

He would add some bite to our attack.

Personally, I think that Arsenal are using it as an attempt to actually agree a deal for Higuain. We're not the problem, neither is Higuain. It's Perez and Madrid who seem to be messing Arsenal around, and stalling so someone potentially comes along and offers more. They wanted £25.5 million, we offered that, and all of a sudden they wanted 27. Bidding for one of their targets will hopefully speed things up. I said I didn't believe it in the sense that we genuinely have the intent of signing Suarez

start believing it haha!

its been confirmed that we've bid for him, I think that Arsenal and Liverpool agreed on an amount and that Liverpool will reject it so that Madrid will step up and pay, and then Higuain's sale can be sanctioned.

I think Arsenal are reacting to Reals hard ball tactics, letting tem know we can & will target other stars if they start to play games regarding |Higuain - well done Arsenal :-)
