The mind games have begun. perez stating Arsenal have never made an offer for Higuain. Not even the 27 mill Euros.

Stating that they intend to keep higuain.

I don't know. There is no real evidence that we have made an offer. No one at AFC has confirmed or denied (nor should they).

I just wonder how much of this story has been fuelled by the fans and the media.

Don't get me wrong, I would love this to happen. I'm just not totally convinced. It's not the way I have ever seen Arsenal do business in the transfer market (from memory at least).

Lies, Fibs and half-truths. The typical Arsenal fans diet. Fed to us by the Management. Still, some way to go yet and miracles do happen!

The bid was very real. reputed journalists and bigwigs, don't just make stuff up, like some on here.

Suarez bid also was quite real. With new age media, there no longer is transparency. I could doubt the fees involved, but to categorically state we have not made a bid, is just insulting us.

I really do hope we land suarez and then they can keep an unhappy Higuain, and Barcelona should just demolish them in their head to head encounters.

When it comes to P. R. and keeping fans in the loop, then Arsenal are abysmal. I accept we don't need to know the precise details of every transfer, but surely in such a transfer, we can at least be told if a bid has been made, without knowing the quantum of it. All info on this move emanates from Madrid, and that is simply not good enough.

My view is that we have been doing this for some years now the club keeps talking up big name signings.
Always post losing them to other teams ie Chelsea, city, utd etc that we will only pay sensible sums for quality. They are still doing it to us guys promising so much and delivering so little!
Unfortunately this is the new Arsenal a commercial monster that uses the fan base to suck up Hugh profits every year and in return we all get 4th place! Expect more of the same. From Kroenke sports enterprises!
I went on talk sport 2years ago and stated he was asset stripping the club expect two more experienced players to be sold same every year. Oh and don't forget the cheap 1/2/3 million pound signings we get as a token each year. don't forget The club received £60 million tv revenue and we still won't spend it!
Has anyone done analysis on the accounts big clue how companies that control over companies take the money management fees, and inter company service charges please someone with some determination exposé this monster and save us from the laughing sock we have become.

Are Arsenal actually going to buy anybody or just make a load of high profile unrealistic bids.
