more into the benign dictatorship myself

I dont think Higuain and Suarez are simillar players. Both very good but different styles altogether. I have a feeling Luis will stay, and is only a back up option if they dont get Bale. MADRID do like to leave it till late in the window to get their offers in though...

Still think it's about Arsenal calming down their fans (the stupid ones anyway) by bidding on someone who they know they won't get for that amount. Kind of shocking that in this day and age the highest amount they've paid for a player was £15m. They can just turn around and say "Look guys we bid almost 3 times our transfer record but Liverpool were bitches and didn't sell to us. Wasn't our fault."

I'd still rather keep Suarez but if he is to go, then only abroad where it has zero impact on us for the time being. We got kind of lucky with Torres and got the £50mil for an underperforming player but Suarez is on fire right now. Strengthening a team who we are trying to overtake is a terrible idea.

Touche....

Remember what Wenger had to say at the clubs trying to sign Fabregas, Err things like "He is under contract with this club" I paraphrase here - these clubs are vultures. they are trying to destabilise this club - its a disgrace, etc, etc. Wenger as we all know is a hypocritical T..t.

We need the board to be really strong on this one. Why demand less than Spurs are demanding for Bale or what Athletico Madrid received for Falcao? Also, selling to a Premier League team would be an absolute disaster in terms of challenging the top four next season, why make our rivals stronger at our own detriment?

dont agree selling to another premiership club would be a disaster as Arsenal are not rivals as they have a totaly different agenda, target and expectation to ourselves. I think it's a bit different in those other clubs probably were wise enough not to insert a buy out clause or set figure in which to talk to the player. It's not the first time the club has come up short and been badly advised in these sorts of things, remember they told Suarez to plead guilty in the Evra affair and thought by doing so it would reduce the ban.

I can see a transfer request followed by us denying the request followed by a law suit in near future

If you look at last season's top four, which of the four teams are we most likely to pip to fourth spot this season? The answer is clearly Arsenal, which is exactly why I think it'd be a disaster to sell Suarez to Arsenal. If that happened, I'd say Brendan Rodgers has just cause to hand in his resignation as it just makes his job much more difficult.

I think arsene wenger knows that we will be competing for forth next season. that's why hes opted for Suarez to weaken us.
