You think Arsenal will increase their offer by 50%? No chance

i think £40m in current market prices was nowhere near his true valuation, Arsenal know this.

Add to that the pressure Wenger will be under if he doesn't bring in a marquee signing.

So yeah, the final bid will be closer to £60m than it is to £40m.

If this is a tactic by Henry to force up the bid, it's smart on one level and another he'll look very foolish.

Mind you it's worth recalling Torres was sold 3 days after the club said he would not be sold.

Suarez will go.

Its one thing for managers/chairmen to say it but when the owner comes outright to a huge newspaper like that with the quotes hes given theres not a chance suarez is off to arsenal

Agree can't see him go to any premier league team now, he can stay or go abroad for a fair price both are equally appealing.

He's going nowhere, the owner has staked his reputation on it. He isn't going to back track after the letter of apology after the shambles at the end of last Summer's window.

I don't think we are stronger now squad wise if that's what you meant.

However Spurs are and as things stand they'll be ahead of Arsenal this season. Hopefully Arsenal don't sign anyone significant now

No I meant more in terms of negotiating and not bowing to the demands of other clubs.

I notice cissokho is being linked again, hope there is nothing in it. Would much prefer siqueira.

gafferino

Good strong words by Henry.

I still expect Suarez to be gone though.....what he's saying is its gonna f€ck us up if he leaves.....so you better be paying big to make it worth our while. Just putting the clubs side across pretty strong (glad he did so) in case other clubs think we want a quick sale because of his antics.

Not to Aresenal though....not after that statement.

El Inho

I'd nearly say the Luis has a humble pie to say. Looks like he's going nowhere

Breaking news Liverpool just made a multi million pound bid for this bad boy..

Public apology from Suarez?

Would it be believable ?
Personally I would find it hard to support him again

Don't care if his apology is as sarcastic as father jacks if he starts scoring like last season all is forgiven

McSasquatch

So what's the plan now? I'm assuming we'll be looking to have a buyer on the continent lined up for January? As delighted as I am on Henry and co's stance re selling him to Arsenal, Suarez is poison to the squad now imo. There's no way back for him as far as I can see.

audman

When it looked like he was about to leave Man City the season before he was significant in helping Man City win the league, Tevez was oh so very bold, oh so very bold indeed! Bolder than Suarez even. Look how that turned out. Our year

5starpool

Nice strong statement alright, but we'll see if the deeds match the words. If Costa, or someone similar, is signed then he might still go to a non Arsenal team with the club saying they had been able to secure a replacement, or something similar.

If he is sold to Arsenal, even with a substantially improved bid, the whole thing will have been a load of pointless posturing, and make a mockery of the club and himself.

Why bother with petty, provocative statements like this? It would be different if we had won what Chelsea, Utd or even City had in the last few years (although I still don't like those type of statements), but we are hardly falling over ourselves in success lately either. An FA Cup and a League Cup since 2005 is all well and good, but not enough to gloat to a team that consistently finishes above us in the league about.

No wonder these threads descend into crap so often.

Super-Rush

Can't wait til the gunners come to Anfield.

Chucky the tree

“So for football reasons we can’t – and especially to Arsenal. We’ve made that clear. I have said to Ivan Gazidis in a personal conversation that we will not sell to Arsenal. It is unequivocal, but that doesn’t seem to slow them down so I can’t wait to see what the next bid is.

I actually lol'd. Brilliant.

Mr Alan

One thing I'm kind of curious about, if Suarez's contract does indeed state that £40m is the point at which the club will start negotiating....does outright refusal to negotiate with Arsenal after they've bid that amount not breach that clause?

Pilsbury Doughboy

I found it lol'able that he was saying 'uniforms' instead of kit or whatever!

I'd say they did negotiate, it just took about a split second to make their mind up and reject the bid.

I thought Rodgers said the other day that no such clause existed

El Inho

Every time I convince myself of one definite outcome something happens that convinces me otherwise....

I give up on this saga... What ever happens happens

Don't know?

Henry makes reference to it?
As did the Players Union?

Turtyturd

I normally try and read a few chapters of a book before I go asleep but tonight the kindle has been discarded in favour of the Arsenal thread....they've been brilliant throughout this.

Given the confusion it would probably make sense that the clause is for the club to consider offers over 40...while they believe it's to let him go.

billymitchell

Mr Alan wrote: »

If it was in the contract that Suarez could leave if a bid of £40m (or some reports add £1 to that) was received, he would be gone by now.

The players union would be on Suarezs side, so if he was in the right that he could leave if a bid was received, they would have backed him up.

Looks like the club have done everything right in this case.

Mr Alan

I didn't say it's in his clause that he could leave.

Just that apparently it's in the contract we'd negotiate. We don't seem to be doing that. Which I'm very happy about. It was just something that occurred to me earlier. Could be a potential issue. Still plenty of twists & turns in this yet.

Maybe it just says we'll listen to bids over the mark, but doesn't necessarily mean we will accept them.

I imagine this will rumble on for the rest of Suarez's career!

KaiserGunner

The apparent clause in Suarez contract, a team bids over £40 million and Liverpool only have to consider it/start negotiating but can just plainly reject it, must be the most pointless clause that I have ever heard of. All fool Suarez, his agent and advisors for agreeing to such a clause and not see that it is completely worthless.

Turtyturd

Meh...I'm fairly happy with it.

Them saying £40 Million is a joke is negotiating, sure Levy is negotiating at Spurs.

If his apology was

"I'm sorry I treated you like ***** but I really want to leave.
I'm going to stay and play because I have no choice but I'll put in just as much effort as I did last season because I'd like for everyone to not curse my name when I do eventually go. Also, it helps me sleep, it's a world cup year and lifes too short to play **** football."

At this stage I'd rather honesty than some bull**** apology that literally nobody anywhere would believe.

Well selling to Arsenal or not, Liverpool come out weakest from this transfer mess. Suarez has left himself unplayable and sulky with Arsenal purring to him and not getting sold like he wanted - which is sh*t for yous but a reality.

The transfer has pretty much neutered the one outstanding quality in your side and because of this it will probable leave ye in the same position as you were last season if not worse in the league.

Not trying to be subtle. It's how I see it. Do you disagree? What do you think will happen this coming season without Suarez leading the lines fully focused? I just can't see him putting in as much effort.

Not biter at all btw. I was a pro- Higuain anti Suarez for baggage reasons man. I'll be happy once the club gets another decent striker who can do a job in.

what's to stop the owner lighting up a cigar in 3 weeks when he accepts £55m and comes out laughing saying it was "all part of the plan"?

Also how much is his reputation worth? He's stated unequivocally Suarez will not be sold to Arsenal at any price.

Suspending disbelief for a moment, Arsenal come in and bid £100 million. And do a little Dr. Evil voice with it. Think he turns that down?

There's a case bottom line here. Suarez has a price, as every footballer does. Even Messi. Sometimes that price may well be so high it's bordering on stupidity and fantasy. If a member of one of the Arab Royals came to Barca and said Half a Billion quid for Messi to come play in my local-non-alcoholic-pub league, Barca would sell too.

The question still remains - what is Suarez price? And when you factor in he's deeply unhappy, acting like a big child and is a divisive influence at the football club, the likes of £55/£60 million from ANY club would have to be accepted.

I mean, look, if he stays i'll be the first to say i got it wrong. But the owners statement carries no weight until September 2nd.
