Hey eds! I heard that Arsenal made a bid of 30 million pounds for Suarez and it got rejected. Any truth to this and what are your thoughts on it? Who would you like to see in this transfer window? Thanks! I'd like to hear others opinions as well! Haha {Ed029's Note - ED02 said that he understands that there was an offer made on Thursday afternoon.}

It seems like it was an offer made mostly for reasons other than buying the player tbh. Maybe to help with the higuain negotiation etc.

But at the same time if it was accepted for that price arsenal would have been happy.

Speculation ofc

Hi Ed! Does that mean Arsenal wanted Suarez and Higuian? Did Arsenal try and look at Suarez as an alternative? That is serious ambition from a Liverpool fan!

However sometimes I think Arsenal get linked with top players that they could afford but don't want too. I have suspicions they do it to keep you lot happy. let's be realistic Arsenal know 30m will not get Suarez and he won't move there anyway as I don't think you lot pay much which is probably what matters most.

Thanks. {Ed029's Note - From what Ed02 has explained it won't be both.}

This all smacks of desperation. Suarez is a quality player but comes with baggage and also a lengthy ban at the start of he season. Why can't we just get all of our deals done and stop messing around. I think that yet again we have been told a complete pack of lies about available finances. If we had that much available surely we can afford to "pay over the odds" to get the right players in. The consequences of not finishing in the top 4 are much more than juts a couple of million. Same old story I am afraid - all talk and no action - fed up!

Yeah I agree. Because I've been seeing that it was used to push the deal for Higuain. But I think it was made thinking that it would be rejected in hopes that it will make Higuain get wrapped up quicker, and also if Liverpool happened to accept the bid. GREAT! I think it was used almost as a win win situation. It makes sense to me. How bout anyone else? haha

Sign the Hig. It's so simple. Arsenal fans deserve a high class striker after losing rvp.
Pay what Real want and make it happen totally fed up.

Suarez is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in the world and yes he does come with baggage but personally would love to see him at arsenal and i'm sure wenger would get the best put of him. Out of suarez and huguain suarez is the better option in terms of a proper out and out striker

Arsenal not willing to increase bid for Higuain, is what I have heard. The offer on the table is over Higuain's Market value to them.

Madrid, seem to want to keep higuain, but he wants a more prominent role, which will be unlikely, hence his move is still 50/50.

Ibrahimovic wants a move to madrid, if they sign Cavani. His agent is trying to push a move if they sign Cavani. Chelsea are also looking at Ibrahimovic. (not sure how that reunion will go)

Madrid do not want to pay over £35 mill for Suarez. liverpool want over £40 mill, unless he asks for a transfer then the value will drop. Liverpool are going to buy another player in anticipation of late bids for Suarez in the last week of the transfer window.

Marseille not willing to offer over 6 mil for gervinho, arsenal looking closer to 10 mil, lyon also interested.

and last but not least Arsenal expecting a bid for Koscielny if Thiago Silva moves to Barcelona.

and also. thanks for the reply Ed0029! haha love the page guys!

Utter Madness! The guys banned for 10 matches. and who knows what else he will resort to on the pitch. I say get the Hig snapped up asap so the squad can set off on tour and properly prepare for the start of new season. Devongooner

The liverpool echo which is always bang on says liverpool want a higher fee than Torres coupled with a suarez transfer request! I think he's staying to be honest.

11.) 08 Jul 2013
I see this as Arsenal threatening Real Madrid, if they're going to be T**ts over Higuin, then we'll push up the price on Suarez.
In any case, that's what I'd do! haha

Belated move to rush thru the Higuian transfer.

Wenger and Arsenal are way to naive in the transfer market

13.) 08 Jul 2013
We never prepare properly for the new season as we always leave it too late to bring in new "quality" players - I just don't get why the penny has not dropped about this yet - perhaps the club is to busy counting the pennies instead!

I concur with many of the respondents. Why on earth are Arsenal bidding for Suarez? I agree he is a World class striker but he also comes with a lot of baggage and he wants to leave England, not Liverpool. I believe Higuan is a better option and why is Arsene ignoring someone like Remy of QPR. Remy already experience in the premier league. I see more turmoil before Arsenal finally get their man and he won't be who we - the fans - are expecting - AGAIN.
