Arsenal Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2013/14

I still believe Liverpool will sell but only if they get an offer they couldn't turn down. So unless we're prepared to increase our bid by 20 - 30 million we should drop our interest now and try somehow to recover this disastrous window before it turns into an absolute catastrophe.

Not that it really matters, butwhat I don't get about this clause business. It supposedly says that if a bid over 40m is made then Liverpool have to at least sit down and consider the bid with the team making it. However they seemingly have rejected it out of hand and won't even consider it according to themselves, which surely is then in breach of the clause? If not then there is absolutely no point whatsoever to it, as it seemingly can't be breached by Liverpool.

Not all teams are as spineless as us. Whatever happens to Suarez, he won't be sold to us.

Also reading Suarez had a 2 hour meeting and apologized to Liverpool and will make a public apology.

Reading that statement it seems Liverpool are a cult. I actually hate them, not because they wont sell Suarez - that's their decision but because they're a sanctimonious shower of pompus GOWLS.

Haha for Fcuk sake, that was the most predictable press release ever and so was the hyperbole reaction from Liverpool and arsenal fans.

Us Arsenal fans should know better we have heard all this before Nasri, RVP etc relax he's hardly going to admit Yeh were going to sell him, all he is doing is trying to drive up the prive of his player in the same way we did. anyone who really thinks Suarez will be a Liverpool player next season after everything that has gone on is off there rocker.

He might not play for Liverpool again but you're kidding yourself if you think he'll play for us imo.

I really admire your positivity mate because most people on here including myself are in full scale panic mode. Ah sure we have a Morrocan lad on trial at the minute a player who didnt make the grade at Blackburn Rovers so we should be okay!!!!

I'm not saying they have to sell. It just seems so weird that the 'clause' is even there if it literally doesn't even need to be considered.


I would hope that if they are to give up on Suarez, that they go for a winger and striker instead rather than one big player, because there aren't really any left available. And then a midfielder and defensive cover.

All I can say again is thank fuck I'm going away on holiday on Saturday so I'll be away from all this shit for a couple of weeks.

Not to us. Henry even openly mocked whatever our next bid might be. Suarez to Arsenal is dead, period. We need to move on immediately.

Wenger better get the finger and making some ****ing signings. He's dragging our club down. I'm really losing the will with Wenger's lies and lack of spending. Spures and Liverpool have spent and Wenger comes out with "our Team is capable of winning the league" :rolleyes:

Because we won't bid enough. And maybe selling RVP was spineless. But we purchased Cazorla, Podolski and Giroud with the money. A better position than having a miserable Dutchman playing in the reserves as we missed out on Champions League. But at least we would have displayed our spine.

He may well do but it won't mean fcuk all to Arsenal.

If the Arsenal board have any sense they'll go after another target, the money is there. Otherwise you'll be left high and dry.

Gringo180

Are we the only club who sells there best players consistently to there closest rivals?? Even Spurs wouldnt sell Modric to Chelski. There is something very wrong going on at the club and im said to say im onky starting to realise it now!!

We will spend money, but i don't know if we will get anyone good.

all the players arsenal sold had a year left on their contracts, except fabregas

Gringo180

Even Walcott said today at the presser that if we dont bring anybody in we are still capable of challenging because they showed what they were made of towards the end of last season. Sorry Theo but I hate to tell you, it was painful to watch us at times!! Seriously deluded!

Liverpool can **** up if they think they look good ot of this, their best player wants to join us and they are forcing him to stay so they can get in the top 4 and bring back the 'famous European nights'. Well an actual club who doesn't boast and act like a shower of tools sells their best player and sill manages to do it.

Standard Liverpool nobody is bigger than the club sanctimonious bull as well with all their Shankly spirit. If nobody is bigger than the club sell the player and stop talking rot as usual.

Suarez isn't worth this anymore, let him rot in the reserves or whatever and let us move on. The club did try in fairness but I honestly don't see the point in dealing with it.

Outstanding!! :eek:

FWIW, I bear ye no ill will in all of this. Your club got a strong lead and made a decent offer. It's all fair behaviour imo.

And then United finished 19 pts ahead of us with RVP and we secured 4th by one point on the final day of the season. Yep, well done us.

wandatowell

Fair play to Henry coming out and saying Suarez isnt going to be sold.
He contradicted Rodgers/Ayre who I think said they'd sell but at a much higher price.

The Chairman is the boss, what he says goes and this is what Arsenal have lacked.

Leadership from the very top.

Gringo180

We purchased them before we sold RvP so his and Songs transfer fee is still sitting in the bank gathering dust.

God bless 'em they mean well but I do think seriously deep down inside them they know they are talking rubbish. Giroud leading the attack taking one chance out of the 20 he gets , A few serious injuries to key players and we're screwed. I'm fed up been miserable every summer seen the club I support accept defeat.

Because they offered stupid money for an incredibly average player and realised it themselves once they got him.


Atreta is a much better player

Nope, he was looking to get away and was a bad influence on training.

Atreta is a better player. But I still would have kept Song in the squad.

dvemail

One ray of light in all of this is that Henry said the same thing two weeks before Torres left for Chelsea.
And if nobody else is in for Suarez come the end of the window they may have no choice but to sell to us. He has blown up his bridges at the club.

He was lazy disruptive and as has been seen at barca, not that good.
No loss.

But we're still shockingly inept at transfers. It would be a monumental turn around for Henry to sell suarez now and he'll look like a tool if he does. he won't sell.

Either way this whole saga has been ****e for both clubs.

For how long though? Arteta's 31, Song is 25. I think Wenger put all his faith in Diaby because god forbid he sell a player and then re-invest the transfer fee in a new player in the same position. All of our players, incl Wilshere and Walcott, will be sold to anyone if they offer the board enough money.

Im even thinking twice of going to see them in October, im sure me hard earned could go to better use than lining the pockets of the board especially with Christmas close by.

We might as well get ready for a season of fighting for 4th, getting knocked out of the cups by minnows and Wenger getting the sack while still sprouting the crap he's done for the past few years.

First season I've decided not to go, spend big money on tickets and watching a average team ain't for me. Sky sport's and Espn in the comfort of my own home will do.

Why would he be sacked.? Spends no money, achieves cl for 15 straight seasons.
For a yank like Kronke who is only interested in money and has no connection to the club emotionally or to football this is the ideal. What does Kronke care if we're stagnant.?
if the situation was reversed Kronke would have bitten Pools hand off at a 40m offer.

Serious over reaction in here lads.

We can now look forward to spending 15m on 3 or 4 mediocre players on transfer deadline day that may or may not get us 4th place next season. The same way we have for the last couple of years really...

Rooney, Higuain, Suarez. Who needs em!

Bring on the 4th place trophy, yay.

I know people and aren't happy about it and just see it as panic buying, but I don't expect to see any more transfers before 31st of August.

Even if it is "panic buying", if we can get players of similar quality as we did the last time we panic bought, i.e. Arteta, Mertesacker and to a lesser extent Bennayoun, I will be more than happy.

Why would you be more than happy with that? Don't you want us to challenge for the title?
