I read a 'supposed' transcript of an interview where he mentioned about 'feeling valued'. It seemed that he was saying he was surprised at the valuation and interest considering his chequered disciplinary record. Personally, I don't find that particularly upsetting. Surely people have more important things to worry about.
Being valued by Arsenal may actually work in our favour, Luis feels persecuted by press and other managers. Then all of a sudden one of the most respected clubs place a bid, which confirms what LFC have been telling Luis, that he is not disliked as much as he thinks. Have arsenal fans protested? No they have not.
I agree with Carheex, we need to hold our nerve and see this summer out, far too often we have let pride dictate our thinking. Levy at Spurs is master at this.
