Suarez: Sell or Keep?

[fowler9]

Generally, I am under no illusions about how far and rapidly we have declined, but it's still remarkable, to me, to read the way in which Suarez genuinely seems to regard Arsenal as a dramatic step-up from us.

 

It really makes me wonder how many players his age and younger think the same thing?

 

It only takes us one season finishing ahead of them to change that round, which is why its vital we don't let him go there

[thompsonsnose]

Mentioned it the other day but this club needs to concentrate on finding the next Gerrard and Carragher.

Forget Goofy and his mercenary kind.

Starting in the morning.

 

Even if Suarez stayed, we would need some more torch bearers in that squad in the near future.

[Russ Atmosphere]

If the club has done him wrong by his contract then his agents know what they need to do. Hint: it's not ask John Cross to write the same guff in the Mirror all summer long.

[thompsonsnose]

 

Excellence.

There will be loads who think that. If you think about it the champions league is shown worldwide So if your in that your being shown live around the world every two weeks.

Then with the premiership you get shown again. But the champions league every two and if you go far then your on most of season.

[Moo]

The worry is, of course, that there is some credence in this 'verbal agreement' talk and he'll get the football authorities involved and they never waste an opportunity to fuck LFC over.

[Megadrive Man]

If he does want to leave then why not hand in a transfer request now?

[fowler9]

The bit that really takes the piss is the bit about the reception he got on saturday was because we accept him wanting to go?!

 

Thats like saying if we booed him we did it so he knows what its like to play at the Emirates!

[Sangria]

I hope we stand firm on this, price wise.

 

Arsenal, Luis you little money grabbing piece of shit.

[Moo]

He's hoping his threats in this interview have the desired effect without having to resort to give up his bonuses.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

He cant do anything without handing transfer notice in. So he hasn't a chance in hell of winning at arbitration panel. He has left it way to long to do it now.

If he had handed in a transfer request when they offered the 40 million then he could of took us and maybe had a chance. Now he has left it way to long.

Whatever the PFA or that cunt Graham Taylor wants, they can't tell a club to sell to a rival. Why the club has to stand firm. Anywhere but Arsenal or stick him in the reserves. Still be worth as much in January.

[Phoenix]

Can someone please explain to me the bottom line with a submitted transfer request?

 

It's being talked about as if we'd be screwed, yet it seems to me it will have zero effect beyond obviating any need to pay him any bonuses, etc.

 

Am I missing something?

 

Means fuck all apart from him losing his signing on fee, loyalty bonus and percentage of the transfer fee (clause a lot of players have in their contract).

[Phoenix]

Cheeky bastard pretending to be injured aswell.

I think he's probably a bit delusional at the moment. Let's face it his behaviour on the pitch sometimes points towards mental disturbances, this could just be an extension.

If he considers arsenal to be a significant step up then he's deffo lost it.

Serious question - is there any foundation to this? Or just a scenario you've imagined?

I'm talking about the football authorities (FA or Premier League) who might be asked to make a decision on this, not the players union or that slimey fucker.

[Kevin D]

To me, it raises questions about the motives of the club's hierarchy that we told Suarez he could go if we didn't make it into the top 4 last season. That is, after we had appointed an inexperienced manager - while framing a narrative about patience and long-term visions - were actively looking to shift our player of the season to Man City and had failed to make any substantial investment in the squad.

Arbritation requires both parties agreement to it, if i remember correctly

 

Tell him to take us to the High Court and let them decide. If its clear cut and we have taken legal advice, he wont be going anywhere near there.

He cant go to anybody over us. He has to hand a request in to us before he can go to any panel about the contract, Because he hasn't done that yet he hasn't a hope in hell of succeeding. For him to have any chance he should of put the request in straight away as it shows he means to want to leave and has a problem . Because he hasn't and has said he wont then no panel etc will take him serious if he done it now. He cant give a reasonable explanation as to why its took this long to hand it in.

He cant say I needed to find out first about the clause it wont wash at a hearing.

[torahboy]

Instead of giving 'interviews' to the morons in the press why doesn't Suarez forward a transfer request? That way we can all prepare for his departure, and, if not, we can treat him accordingly for the time he stays here.

[Jhinge Machha]

madrid/barca or even city/chelsea i can understand considering he has a great chance of winning a trophy there..but being this desperate to join arsenal is just odd and a little idiotic.

imagine if after all this arsenal lose their champions league qualifying.

[JoeyJones65]

You want out Luis?

 

Then put in a fucking transfer request you little shit.

I hope you're right but from reading old articles about the Heinze to Liverpool case I'm not convinced. I couldn't have imagined the Mancs agreeing to arbitration and from what I've read it seems possible that the player asked the Premier League to intervene and they were allowed to do so as written in the rules.

I hope our lawyers are all over this.

Again, any basis for this?
