KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rodgers: Suarez must apologise.

yes but so is "fair conclusion"...now who judges whether it is a fair conclusion. We did negotiate with Arsenal, we recieved their offer, reviewed it, and told them they must be smoking the good stuff. That's part of negotiations too.

Negotiating to a fair conclusion with an immediate rival that wants to pay bottom dollar for a player that has risen in value about 300% in one year? That's fine, but the fair conclusion to such a reasonable request should be the movement of about £80M into LFC's hands, six weeks ago, giving us plenty of time to find a suitable replacement.

Coming in with £30M as a bid, trying to use player volatility as a means of bullying the process through, is not a starting point for anything reasonable, in my book. Arsenal are at least 50% to blame in all of this. They thought FSG would cave in and, as yet they haven't. You cannot resort to an argument that LFC have been unreasonable when the whole bidding process has been so antagonistic. Wenger's sore at how it turned out RVP and is looking to do the same to someone else...

Arsenal and Suarez are bang out of order and LFC should now pursue the contract clause revelation through the court. If they'd tried that with Fergie he'd have probably got the FA to pursue Arsenal on UTD's behalf!

Wenger is a toad. I used to think he had some scruples but he's been well and truly soured by the loss of Nasri, RVP, Fabregas, etc. It annoys me that the ridiculous behaviour of Arsenal has not been criticised in the media, at all.

We don't know the exact details of the contract so it pointless going over the same ground again. Time to move on.

Waving flags

Nothing wrong with the discussion in my book but once Arsenal came in at £30M, all discussions were going to be somewhat blighted by it. They should have asked LFC what they'd consider - he has three years left, had not put in a formal request and is clearly our best player. Then £40M + 1 is such an insult in this market. Where did that figure come from? Their conduct stank.

Arsenal started the negotiation with two fingers to LFC. What are we to do that is then reasonable?

If that was the case we'd be in court now. He's got form for it so whys it not happening?

Look, the lawyer could do nothing about that imo, whether we negotiate with arsenal is irrelevant in this case, we can tell them to get fukked because 1 has to wonder, how did they find out about the clause in the contract?

Tapping up?

Should be no.debate over this the fans should demand an apology from suarez .

What have Arsenal done wrong, they have just tried to exploite a loophole in Suarats contract which was public knowledge ages ago, we would do it ourselves and so would any club, you don't bid more than u have to...
