So, guys, how much would Liverpool realistically sell Suarez for?

Oh my fucking god, Crookel Messi has apparently said this: "Qué linda sorpresa que haya sido elegido Martino como técnico de este equipo".

"Its such a nice surprise that Martino has been selected as manager of this team"

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

So legendary, plays it off so cool. Even Martino himself just said Messi had a massive part in him becoming coach :lol

 

[Dazzler]

I think the one thing we know for certain from all of this is that Pere Guardiola's lawyer fucked up with the advice on that contract clause.

yea, what a moron. Clearly told Arsenal that 40 mill would have to be accepted

 

[Feorax]

You could buy Soldado and a few other players, and really strengthen that squad.

We have to convince them to come though, which is the problem.

I agree that a Torres-esque bid would make us sell to anyone, but I think you're confused as to what that actually is.

A Torres-esque bid is something wildly above expectations that it floors us into saying 'yes'. This £50+ million figure that we value Luis at isn't of the tectonic value as that which we received for Torres in 2010. It's simply how good he is and how much we value him. Torres wasn't close to being one of the best strikers in the world when we sold him to Chelsea, he'd been in the mire for months, and had injuries galore. £50 million was madness.

It's the £60 - £70 million bracket that is thermonuclear Russian oligarch 'I don't give a fuck' territory, and I don't think Arsenal will spend that on this one player.

Also, to clarify, our sports science team didn't expect Torres to pass his medical at Chelsea. That's how fucke he was when the £50 million offer came in.

Maybe it would do Liverpool good to sell Suarez.

It's good to sell him, not to arsenal though.

 

[Yurt]

Arsenal have made contact for Roma's Osvaldo. (SKY)

Well..

-

And is this true?

Suarez has been withdrawn from the Liverpool friendly squad tomorrow.

 

[FootballFan]

Official squad that was selected for the Bayern friendly:

Pinto, Oier, Montoya, Bartra, Mascherano, Adriano, Song, Sergi Roberto, Dos Santos, Messi, Tello, Alexis, Sergi Gómez, Planas, Joan Román, Dani Nieto, Quintillà, Samper, Ilie, Patric, Dongou, Espinosa, and Kiko Femenía.

 

[Arnie]

:lol

The funniest thing about the £40,000,001 bid was that Arsene clearly thought he was triggering a release clause.

Just imagine the look on his face when the offer is rejected.

loooool

Is Fabregas injured?

 

[Wilbur]

What an odd clause to have in a contract. Fucking sneaky Wenger taking a quid out his Asda trolley and popping it in the Luis piggy bank

 

[Salvadora]

I meant Torres-esque in the literal sense of a £50m+ price. And I think you'd have no qualms selling to us if you got that.

 

[Randdalf]

£40,000,000 for a guy who is invariably banned for a large number of games a season due to various on field incidents? He might be a quality player, but I don't think that's a wise investment.

I bet he texted Pat Rice beforehand, between giggles.

'I is going to frooow an eggstra poWnd in zer Patteeeeeee'

Then you're a fruitloop.

 

[Can Crusher]

So Liverpool won't sell even for 40? Get fucked Liverpool for christ sakes.

 

[Vivalaraza]

:lol

loooool

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Suarez will be sold next year for £25,000, not even million.

Liverpool's lose.

 

[Arnie]

Shit, you sure told us.

Suarez will be sold next year for £25,000, not even million.

Fuck, and then this happens.


We're being shut down tonight.

 

[Wilbur]

I don't think Arsenal should be buying him if I'm honest.

If I was Wenger, I'd make a 10m bid for Diego Lopez, activate Fellaini's release clause and then go for a proper wide option like Bernard. Could spend 50m and probably still have some left over for a centre back. I reckon Giroud will score a bunch this season despite him being a bit shit.

 

[Carbonox]

Is song your backup midfielder now?

 

[FootballFan]

Wait Arsenal seriously bid 40,000,001 ? :lol wtf

Is Fabregas injured?

Nah, the confederations cup guys just aren't there. (NEYMAR, Alves, Xavi, Pique, Iniesta, Pedro, Alba etc.)

 

[Feorax]

What an odd clause to have in a contract. Fucking sneaky Wenger taking a quid out his Asda trolley and popping it in the Luis piggy bank

It's the quid Carra lobbed back at the crowd a few years ago.

It all helps.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

When do they rejoin? (lazy fucks)

 

[brokenbeans]

Damn wish we could get 40 mil for Rooney half that would be nice.

 

[Kyoufu]

Lolz.

They need a quality striker.

Higuain would have done for now...but I don't think Giroud/Podolski/Walcott is enough.

[ATF487]

He really did fuck up.

And he's been fucking up for months.

Torres was injury prone but he still looked to be a decent player before the move. That 2 goal game against Chelsea springs to mind

 

[Vivalaraza]

Loooooool Rangers training, get scared of thunder.

 

[Arnie]

Torres was injury prone but he still looked to be a decent player before the move. That 2 goal game against Chelsea springs to mind

That's about it.

Two goals.

He scored a decentish goal against Wigan, and did well being fed by his teammates against Wolves.

He certainly did not look decent, he looked shockingly off the pace.

 

[Wilbur]

They need a quality striker.

Higuain would have done for now...but I don't think Giroud/Podolski/Walcott is enough.

A better striker than they have would certainly help, but I think they have more pressing matters everywhere else on the pitch. Walcott and Giroud are not top quality but they still score a fair amount. Get a proper winger instead of playing a striker out wide, get a tough bastard to help out Arteta and get a goalkeeper that has more talent than a piece of toast.

Lolz.

Hahaha

 

[FootballFan]

Is song your backup midfielder now?

Kinda, but more likely Sergi Roberto. If Cesc is sold(which he won't be) Roberto/Song will be the only players who can replace Xavi/Iniesta(which is why Cesc won't be sold).

Rafinha has been loaned out. Afellay is injured. Dos Santos is shit. So yeah. Song and Roberto are the only real backups for the moment.

When do they rejoin? (lazy fucks)

End of the month I believe, or 1st of August.

Not really that sure on that.

 

[Frank the Great]

More racist chants against Milan players. Fucking Juve fans in the crowd, just go home.

Yeah, especially with your midfielder fetish, surely you guys should be looking for a new mid rather then selling?

 

[Wilbur]

Can't wait until we bid 30,000,000.41 for Fabregas because Woody had some change left over from his Yorkie

 

[Linius]

Holy shit Arsenal.

I'll keep an eye out for them now.

 

[Yurt]

363 - Luis Suarez had more touches in the opposition box than Olivier Giroud (182) & Theo Walcott (166) combined in the 2012-13 PL.

 

[kingellesar]

Spurs Sunderland tomorrow.

Shame no Chadli, Paulinho or Bale.

Samuel ‏@samuelj29060 26m

Arsenal's bid for Suarez was made via phone call between Gazidis & Ayre. Rejected, but player can now talk with #AFC

It's on.

 

[Naughty God]

Spurs Sunderland tomorrow.

Shame no Chadli, Paulinho or Bale.

I've got some money on Sunderland at 4/1.

Racist chants during a fucking Trofeo TIM? Really Italy?

Is it hard to masturbate when you stare at thumbnails of destroyed pussy all day long?

That's what I feel like reading Eurosport's transfer ticker

 

[Splatt]

Liverpool should take those 40 gajilion bucks from Arsenal and pay Nike to design them new jerseys.

Gaz - "We are bidding forty million.."

Ayre - "No I'm so..

Gaz - "Hold that thought! Forty million..and one pound"

*line goes dead*

 

[Frank the Great]

I wish the whole team would've walked off.

We get this every fucking game.

 

[Shagwell]

I've been saying for a while now that if it can be concluded swiftly for the right price and that adequate new signings are lined up, Suarez can fuck off as far as I'm concerned.

I have been watching the Liverpool season review (withdrawals) though and you do forget just how fucking good he is when all you're thinking about is his racial-slur, player-biting, press-whinging antics. He literally carried the team single-handedly up until late January. It was pretty ridiculous.
