LEGIT - heres the hold up with the suarez deal. the clause in Suarez's contract means that Liverpool only have to inform suarez that a bid has been made. HOWEVER the clause also states that if a champions league club offers over 40m and Liverpool are not in the champions league then suarez may be sold. the hold up is that Liverpool are saying that arsenal are not in the champions league as they have not yet qualified for the group stages. the qualification games are on the 20th and 27th which means there will still be 3 days to complete the transfer. arsenal will have already started their premier league campaign however this dosen't matter as suarez is banned for the first 6 games. so basically we just need to be patient i'm confident the deal will happen.

Been saying this.

Pretty straight forward.

Sorry but you are so so wrong, Arsenal have been given bum information about the clause, typical agent trying to cause a war to get a big pay day, but arsenal have made a silly move by offering 1 pound over the 40 to try and humiliate LFC but also allowing themselves to be charged by the FA for inside information into contracts. I really think arsenal have made a huge f--k up in how they have dealt with this bid and I can't see them winning this war because they will not pay 55 mill nor will LFC sell for less. so well done to the board again for another blunder you need to pack up your jobs because you ruin every deal we try to do. bring back david dein.

This sounds like a very plausible reason

Yup, suarez camp have made us look like *****. The £40m+ was to just talk to the player all along. Possibly the most pointless clause in football contract history.

What now?

Even if this is true and Arsenal wait until August 28 when/if we have qualified for the CL, what is to stop Real Madrid to come in long before that and make a £50+ bid for Suarez and just snap him up!
Arsenal can't wait until that late, if we want him, just put up the cash that's required! NOW!

Guardiola, suarez agent would have a copy of the contract which would of been made available to arsenals people. No one is saying this is true but very plausible. i'm Suprised Wenger has authorised 40m bid, there's no way he will pay more than that. I think the Liverpool supporters who come on here know as much as anyone else, what they read in the papers. I still think one free transfer is a poor return for a club that has over 123m in the bank which doesn't include the new 30m per season contrat with emirates. Km

This is BS.

Suarez camp have agreed there is no sell clause. AFC have to pay the asking price if they want the deal. Better to pursue other targets with the money available.

Somewhere in the background Dein & Son are hovering. every deal of the past era that has had Arsenal fans confused, hurt or both has involved Dein.

. After selling his shares to Usamov, Deins job seems to be 'attempt to bring Arsenal and its board down'. wonder why[sic]?

Personally I would offer £45m now and get him signed as if we wait until the 27th/28th Real may have failed in their Bale bid and therefore hijack our deal for Suarez.

11.) 31 Jul 2013
Perfect excuse not to spend any money - lies, lies and damn lies - Arsenal need to act quickly as we have such a small squad this is shameful!

12.) 31 Jul 2013
There is no way Arsenal would have seen Suarez's contract. I'm fairly certain that would be breaking so many rules if true.

My guess is that his people misread the details and told Arsenal what they belived to be true regarding the £40m clause. In the end everyone looks silly and Liverpool will now for even more that they would have before.

13.) 31 Jul 2013
Now that’s the first believable information that I have read for weeks. To be honest we all know how tight Arsenal are with their spending, which is a good thing. So let's just wait and see how this pans out. There is no need to rush out and spend above your valuation price, and if it does not materialise than fine we will just go out and go for our 3rd target. Personally I still think he has no loyalty and if we got him he will be off to another club in time, as long as we get a good pay out, I am not complaining. Just trust in Arsenal. Ster

I would rather buy soldado and baines with the Suarez money rather than chase one player for 40+ mil

15.) 31 Jul 2013
Damn Liverpool, they had to go and be right. See what fourth place does to you arsenal?

16.) 31 Jul 2013
So you would buy another left back why?


Madrid will get Bale, they always get their targets and to be honest what has Bale got to stay for CL he hopes at Spurs. PL he prays with Spurs one day so really and truly Spurs have nothing to offer him.

He wants to go and Spurs know that they're just trying to get as much money out of Madrid now.

17.) 01 Aug 2013
He offers more than any of our other left backs and is one of the best in the world. So yes I would sign baines
