@Richard_Buxton_: Whatever they're 'smoking' at the Emirates can't be any more lucid than what prompted sanctioning a £20M deal for Stewart Downing #LFC #AFC
Spoken like a true blue.
Not that it isn't true, but he's just pissed off kenwright can't use twitter due to to the 60 character limit.
What version of Twitter are you using ?!
Balls, knew I should be said character limit. Can't remember what it is. 160?
Regardless, it could be 1600 & kenwright wouldn't be able to introduce himself on there, never mind say anything of value.

Arsenal are smoking a substance which enables you to see how clauses in contracts work, and whether a club+an agent have different views.
I don't see them going to 50m either, I'm not sure anyone will.
I do think our valuation will eventually drop to meet whatever is on the table
What does that even mean?Rory Smith @RorySmithTimes4mArsenal are smoking a substance which enables you to see how clauses in contracts work, and whether a club+an agent have different views.
You fail at English.

I feel your pessimism Rosco I genuinely do but for once I don't think they can roll over, we all can see he is the best striker in the league and worth considerably more than 40M. How would they coach it to the fans exactly? We sell him on the cheap to a direct competitor strengthening them and undoubtedly weakening us just to stop him sulking?... I don think that would fly tbh.
Well....after much abuse...

18mRight, for the hard of thinking: not saying I've seen Suarez's contract. I'm saying Arsenal have evidently been told there is a clause...
..for offers of above £40m. But they don't know is whether Liverpool have to talk at that point, or simply inform Suarez.
So they put in a bid to see how the clause works. There is a risk: it will annoy Liverpool. But worth considering how Suarez left Groningen.
If there's a legal dispute between Liverpool and his people over the clause, then he has leverage to force a move.
Well I don't think Suarez is in Bale's bracket when it comes to transfer value.
My pessimism/ pragmatism stems from the fact that there's 5 or six weeks left before the window shuts. Way too much time for Luis to be Luis and pull some stunts that make it difficult for us to do anything other than sell him. He's got Mascherano potential, at minimum.
What a load of utter brainless bollocks, for the "hard of thinking".
How does a legal dispute give him leverage to force a move? The contract will be pretty water tight, if it only means we have to inform the player, then it means fuck all really. In this day and age, does anyone really think the player wouldn't know if a club was in for him, a player of that standing? His agent will know EVERYTHING.
Well done Rory, thick cunt.
Breathe, Mark, breathe...
I used comma's!
