They think it’s all over…it is now!

Luis SuarezI don’t know about you guys, but I can confidently say that Luis Suarez will not be joining us this summer. This coming after Brendan Rodgers recently confirmed that not even a £55 million bid will be enough to land the Uruguayan striker.

We had an opening £30 million bid turned down by Liverpool last week and are reportedly preparing an increased offer for the then £40 million valued Suarez.

But after seeing Paris St. Germain splash out £55 million for Edinson Cavani a few days ago, Rodgers now believes Suarez’s valuation should at least match that of his fellow Uruguayan.

‘It was an offer for what they (Arsenal) considered his value and worth.

‘Obviously for a player of his quality, when you consider that Cavani has gone for £55million you know…Luis is up there in that bracket of top talent.

‘Obviously it was an offer we didn’t deem worthy of the talent and even if they came back with that kind of amount (£55million) there’s no guarantee he would be sold, even for that, because we are trying to build something here.’

Clearly, Rodgers wants to keep his prized asset, and rightly so. I’m sure we would do the same…or at least try to.

I was astonished to see Arsene Wenger actually table a £30 million bid for Suarez. But we are evidently being prized out of a move for the 26-year-old, and I simply can’t see our club spend that amount of money (£55 million) for one player – no matter how good he is.

The chase for Suarez is now over in my opinion and the sooner Wenger knows this the better.

Only Wayne Rooney and Gonzalo Higauin are attainable for us now, and even moves for them look in serious doubt.

Not looking good.

    Wenger the plum wont be signing any off they guys he’s mentioned.If he looks hard enough there is still top quality gems out there and at very good prices not like the over inflated prices that are going on at present,but not in french second division were he usually goes.

    Has he signed Bernard or is that all talk aswell? god am fed up reading all the C–P that is going on at present just spend that £70-100 million of players who want to play for the club and not to be all about the money etc He has to F–K that transfer policy he goes by out the window and move on with the times and show we want to compete at the highest level in football.

    While Wenger and Gazidis have been boasting about their new found spending powers (70 million), Man City just signed Jovetic , bringing their summer spending to a cool 95 million plus . And all that without much drama or fuss . Does anyone still think that Wenger and Gazidis know what they are doing in the transfer market?

    Wenger nd Gazidis re stupid fellow, wen re dey goin to spend d E70-100m dey re talkin about. Man city is busy signin witout makin noice, must wenger mentionin all d stars in europ befor signin? Wenger knws dat he will never meet d demand of Higuain, Rooney, Suares nd Fellaini dat is y his mentionin dem dont be surprise dat at d end d stupid coach will go to division 2 in France nd pick fake players as he use to do, just d way he picked Sanogo. With wenger arsenal can never win any trophy again bcs his football philosophy has faded. hasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

    OMG!!!!! Wenger must have his eye on every player in the world and always says he has been andmirer or fancied them for a long time,who the fuck is going to be next maybe he is a shirt lifter and thats why he fancies them 🙂 lol

    What concerns me the most now we have money but couldn’t convince van Persie to stay and have faith that we were gonna have money this year and we were good for it and he would sign new contract.
    It’s too late everyone knows we need a centre back probably good right back a midfielder and an excellent striker.
    Wenger just don’t know how to keep his best players and buy. Man utd would not have won premier if we kept van Persie ask Rooney that !!

    Relax people still plenty of time to go. We have a good team that is settled and have gelled. So now we need competition for places and any new players we get, especially strikers, will not be as important to be ready by start of season. We have our great team ready to go, the new ones can meld in as season goes along. We are different to the rest they all have new managers and new players, we don’t.
    Also City are just so stupid, Jovetic scored 13 goals for fiorentina last season for how much? Plenty of players are better and not as expensive, but they just fall for the flavour of month players.
    Thank god we don’t!
    Coyg!!!!
