Should Arsenal rekindle their interest in this man come January?

|

Luis SuarezA few days ago it was reported Liverpool are planning life without Luis Suarez. So if reports are to be believed, should Arsenal look to reignite their interest in the 26-year-old in January?

According to sources, the striker has confided in friends that he remains determined to quit Anfield to join a club that is capable of challenging for honours. And with Suarez also not being cup-tied he could provide a club a much needed boost in the Champions League.

Much has been spoken about Suarez over the summer and I personally went on a bit unsure whether we should sign him or not.

My reason for not signing him remains the same though and that is he comes with a LOT of baggage and I do not think he is the kind of player I would like to see at Arsenal. And my reason for signing him is simply that he is a great player and Arsene Wenger could work his magic on him and turn his attitude around. He would certainly be an asset to the club, but he has the potential to be extremely volatile and trouble seems to follow him.

While the fact still remains Arsenal are walking a very, very tight line this season with the squad that we have available, the return of Santi Cazorla and Bacary Sagna comes as a welcome return with Theo Walcott expected to be two weeks away and Lukas Podolski set to follow shortly after. It could indicate that we have had our ‘injury blip’ for the season and have managed to come out of it relatively well. However, losing Olivier Giroud could leave us very short indeed.

I will stick my neck on the line and say that I expect Arsenal to add to the squad in January and I would hope that we will be looking to sign a striker. However, I don’t think for a second that’ll be Suarez.

So, should Arsenal look to sign him? In my opinion, no I don’t think he is the right player we need and I think spending over £50 million would be a huge gamble even Wenger isn’t willing to take. I would be happier with spending £30-40 million on a player and using the other £10-20 million to bring in another defender, especially if Thomas Vermaelen leaves in the January.

We have to realise that although we are in a much better position financially, there is no point spending £50 million on a controversial striker and then having exactly the same problem in defence next season. So I would rather a cautious approach from Arsenal this January and seeing another striker come in other than Suarez for such a high fee.

    I don’t think that Wenger take a risk again and will waste his time. I love to see him play for Arsenal but Liverpool will never let him come to us, only if Madrid approach to take him there fucking Liverpool will let him go.

    To me,i will prefer Suarez,because when we have somebody like him at the front of goal dont u realise he is a blessing for Gunners?come to think of it which striker u can pick in premiership that is the best for now?So without being worry ourselves much,just let us have him as our dearly striker and play Ozil behind him and play Walcot on right flank while we detail Carzorla on left flank and lets be hoping for good result.Gunners till eternity.

    He won’t go to Arsenal either way. Don’t believe what you read in the Metro. He won’t go for 100 million to arsenal. Get over it.

    NO!….he is just problematic both on and off the pitch

  • Joseph says:

    I will prefer suarez as our center forward Dan benzema bcos suarez is a real, real treat 2 d defenders. He is strong, has sight 4 goal, good team player, has dribbling ability, e.t.c. So he (suarez) will b a perfect buy.
