Just as you thought the Luis Suarez saga would go on and on into the latter stages of the transfer window, something unexpected happened – in what is somewhat ironic, Luis Suarez came out and used the “horrible British media” to give his side of the story.
In interviews with The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph, the Uruguay striker revealed all regarding the situation with Liverpool, and how he is prepared to submit a transfer request by the end of the week if the club continue to block his move to Arsenal. He also stated that he is willing to take the case to the Premier League and already has the backing of the Professional Footballer’s Association.
So in basic terms, he has burnt all bridges with Liverpool Football Club.
He also picked up on some other issues, including the comments made by David Brent… I mean Brendan Rogers. I’ve already questioned what they were smoking over there at Anfield, with Rogers saying “Arsenal lack class” and his methods for valuing players. Despite saying that Suarez was not for sale (and then admitting if the price was right then they might consider it) and that Suarez understood the club position not to sell, Suarez said:
“I spoke with Brendan Rodgers several times and he told me: ‘Stay another season, and you have my word if we don’t make it then I will personally make sure that you can leave.'”
So another lie from the classless Brendan Rogers then.
Rogers has also stated several times that Liverpool would never sell a player, particularly Suarez, to another Premier League rival. But in what will sting for Liverpool fans and their management, Luis Suarez makes it clear he doesn’t think that Arsenal are Liverpool’s rivals:
“It is not as if I am asking to move to a local rival. And I would not consider moving to a club outside the Champions League. I have made my desire to move known in private various times and now it feels like the time for me to make it public.
Ouch.
And I’m sure by now that you have read the full interviews from The Guardian and The Telegraph. So what does this mean in terms of the potential transfer?
Well apart from being completely hilarious, it would suggest it is now make or break time. It is undeniable that the relationship between Arsenal and Liverpool is an extremely fractious one. Liverpool believe that Arsenal have made derisory bids, and lack class with their £40 million and £1 bid to trigger a release clause. Despite Suarez’s public declaration that he wants to leave, I would fully expect this to still be a very messy affair.
As Arseblog has already suggested, with Liverpool’s very public defiance to sell and with their American owner using Twitter to “have a pop” at Arsenal, they will not want to lose face in this situation and make it very hard for us to complete any transfer for the player. Even with Suarez coming out and basically cutting all ties with the Anfield club, they won’t make it easy for us to get him.
He still has 3 years left on his Liverpool contract but in our favour is the fact Luis Suarez is very proactive in making his move away – he did the same kind of thing when he wanted to move to Ajax from Groningen in 2007.
So now is a very sensitive time in the whole saga and any wrong move could jeopardise any deal between the clubs. The most likely outcome is that Arsenal will have to offer Liverpool a slightly improved bid so they can save face. I would be extremely shocked if even after Suarez puts in a transfer request and takes the case to the Premier League, that Liverpool would accept the offer of £40 million plus £1. I would say a bid of around £45 million would probably be enough to end this saga once and for all.
But will Arsene Wenger play hardball and stick to his “classless” and now famous offer of £40 million and £1 and hope Liverpool crack?
We’ll have to wait and see.
Arsenal are a load of shite.
and liverpool are worse than that….
Think Wenger’s more likely to take the piss and offer less than £40 mill + 1, maybe £40 mil.
40M and 99p
How many times have Arsenal ruled Europe?
NONE.
That is all.
how many times have liverpool won the Premier league?
NONE.
That is all.
So they effectively change the name of the competition, and that makes it a different competition? Don’t be absurd – top flight title is the top flight title, whether is called League Division One (as it was when LFC last won it) or the Premier League (as it is today). Stop being so childish.
the childishness comes from yourself for not realising fun replies as opposed to serious ones…..
keep taking the pills…
How many years will it take you to win one never mind 5
who knows, certainly not you!
but you do know you haven’t won one
Still living in the good ol days, maybe that’s why Liverpool have fallen into mid table obscurity… Play for now and stop bringing up you history.. You guys just aren’t competitive, that’s how your new will read.. Deal with it. Chin up though.
The last time Arsenal won a trophy was 8 years ago…now that is history haha
Sorry I couldn’t hear you from all the way down there. 7th place is pretty low for the mighty Liverpool wouldn’t you agree?
Every single time.
I think we should start taking bets on how many seconds will elapse before “5 times” or “European champions” is yet again mentioned.
Suarez seems to think its more important to live in the present. As do most people.
So many bitter Scouser’s. Always living in the past. No wonder Suarez wants out.
Yeah, Liverpool cabs live in the past – except that Liverpool have win the FA Cup and League Cup since Arsenal last won any silverware…
can’t argue with that…
what an hilarious article, depserately trying to turn the class thing back to liverpool. be assured that all neutrals, like me, are laughing at arsenal over this and that 40m+1 is pathetic and arsenal are bunch of spivs trying to take advantage of a situation without the full facts. totally without honour, very similiar to wenger’s post match interviews where he never credits the oppo, lies about what he has seen during the match and makes up the rest to suit his “we were robbed” mentality. 8 years, no trophies.
.. as neutral as a sp*rs fan?
Even more hilarious is your awful attempt at trolling.
Bale gone yet?
Poor little spuddies
you want to talk about classless. how classless were liverpool in tapping up swansea’s then manager, rodgers? how classless was rodgers when he forced his move away from swansea to your lot after swansea had given him a job when watford sacked him? that’s right, he left swansea in the lurch to join your lot. but, what was even more classless was, liverpools and rodgers agreement, that if swansea let rodgers go, liverpool and rodgers would’nt go back for swansea’s star players. so,as soon as rodgers gets to anfield, what did rodgers and liverpool do, go straight back and get joe allen….how classless ie that. and when you lot go on about arsenals class, you should think of your own seedy past, as when it comes to underhand dealing, tapping up, broken promises, lying, and murder (heysel, or have you forgotten about that), you lot top the pile, along with man u, chelsea, man city. at the end of the day, rodgers is without doubt one of the most classless people around. he lies, he has no loyalty. and if you wanted conformation of this, you should have listened to radio 5live over the week end where you would have heard your ex director of football, damian comolli, confirm live on air that there was an agreement for suarez to leave should liverpool fail to get into the champions league this year. stating he would be allowed to go to any team in the champions league bar man utd. so there. you fecking classless lot, get a life and deal with it!!!
… and I remember the 70’s and 80’s when Livepoo were so successful that they bought any decent player even if they didn’t need him to stop the other teams from threatening their ‘superiority’…
You just made yourself sound like a right chump mate. Arsenal classless? Wenger never crediting opposition? Do you watch football. Fuck me Arsenal try to buy a player for 40 million and its seen as derisory!?! What a fucked up world we live in lol.
YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS IS A GOONER SITE, WRITTEN FOR GOONERS, BY GOONERS. SO, WHY DON’T YOU SPUDS & POO FANS F@CK OFF IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT IS WRITTEN. GO AND TROLL YOUR OWN SITES….THEY’RE ABOUT YOUR INTELLECTUAL LEVEL YOU CABBAGES!
His words don’t change a thing as far as Arsenal are concerned … if he does go, it won’t be to the Emirates. A loan to anywhere in Europe is an option
Good, we don’t want him at AFC
Liverpool – Suarez = 10th position loserpool
European cups liverpool 5 without Suarez
time to change your nappy….
I bet you fill yours every time you hear about our 5 european cups
keep taking the pills..
You need to pay 55mil and that is not happening if you need him cus with him you will go into another season without any trophy that is what you’re distine to be forever nothing can change.. You will always pass by the trophies are you will lose great players .. If liverpool remains 10th They still win something not like you.. 4th with empty hands… crying like Cum Dick… lol
and so says the little boy with not one brain cell….

Why would anyone want to join such a shit team like arsenal. There not even in the champions league. And when was the last time they came close to winning a trophy. the emirates cup doesn’t count.
I forgot. There not able to win that either.
well, they are in the CL play offs, which I guess is more than your lowly team is?
While your struggling to get one, we have FIVE….keep trying in another hundred years come back.
tilt
i wander what u assnal fans are smoking….luis dont see u as lfc rivals and i neither because u cant win anything….the admins are full of shit
but at least we can spell….
Must be a good primary school you go to.
any school outside of Livepoo is a good school
but not as good as
Whilst I’m sure there are non truths on both sides your article seems to have misread some comments and placed 100% belief in comments from one side rather than a balanced view, just take a look at this article for another Suarez interview back in April
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2271497/LUIS-SUAREZ-EXCLUSIVE-I-stay-Liverpool-dont-qualify-Champions-League.html
what does this tell you about Suarez????? can you believe a word that comes out of his mouth???
first sensible post today… well played.
The british transfer record would have to be broken for him to go to Arsenal which means they would have to pay minimum £50,000,001 and we all know Arsenal will not pay this so it won’t happen
sillier thing have happened, Andy Carroll anyone?
torres £50m – got the best out of him….
can’t argue with that one either…
yeah that sounds right – the guy you`ve all been calling a racist, a diver, a cheat and a lunatic is now the paragon of virtue and BR is a liar. ask yourselves this – why would LFC agree a WRITTEN contract and then totally negate it with a verbal agreement that contradicts it ? and furthermore, if, as the LS camp claim, an agreement that he can leave to play CL football exists at all then why is Suarez not already an Arsenal player ? personally I think as long as he puts in a transfer request to forego his ‘loyalty’ bonus and you meet the asking price you can have him – you`re well suited having cold indifference in common
erm, sorry, all we have done is enquired about the player and put bids in, as can any other team…. we have not gone viral about it, unlike classless BR and LFC…
Please sell this traitor.after all he as put the club and the suppoters through.sell him he is not bigger than liverpool fc.if he was the best in the world we would have never finshed 7th.we do not need some one
that plays for us for half the season only.he is a ashole.sell him….
fair comment…
“If we don’t qualify for the Champions League you can move to a direct rival for 10 million less than you are worth”. This is what Suraez wants the world to believe was said. This article is complete partisan nonsense and Suarez is behaving like he is mentally ill. Dream scenario – Liverpool hold off until PSV knock Arsenal out of the CL and then grant him his move to Arsenal for 50 million.
Suarez IS mentally ill….. just like BR and LFC…
Uhhh. Duhhh. Muhhh?
You guys are so sensitive to that “what are the smoking?” remark! It’s hilarious. And the “class” thing – grow a spine for fuck’s sake. We’re all laughing at you.
..but not as much as we are laughing at your demise…..
Arsenal last won a trophy when televisions were black and white. If there is a demise its happening in North London.
To hell with all these anti-gunnas!what re u insinuating? Arsenal is never a rival to liverpool even suarez confirmed this.in terms of investment arsenal is far more richer and bigger 4th richest club in d world.liverpool is never a match to arsenal any day .when last ve u tasted UCL?Suarez want 2 go to bigger club like arsenal let him go and taste Ucl glory.
UCL glory?? when was the last time Arsenal tasted ANY glory….. fool
fair comment…. far too long ago…
It’s all about success…5 EUROPEAN CUPS….to your zero……..keep your money..if you would like to see the real European cup pop along to Anfield……
Unashamed living in the past.
Comedy gold, every single time.
Last Arsenal trophy: 2005
Last Liverpool CL victory: 2005
The past?
Scouse humour tops as well…thanks
..and if you want to know what EPL trophy looks like pop along to anywhere but Anfield…
I believe you had a break in your trophy room and all they took was the red carpet…
but at least we had a RED carpet unlike the brown one at Livepoo
If only we had some room for one
Sell him, arsenal won’t win anything plus he has betrayed us for long, seen him doing similar tricks at ajax, now’s the time to cash in cos we have quality up front already, arsenal fans, enjoy him until he craves trophies to ‘further’ his career, we are bigger then that bucktoothed buffoon in any event, bring back our god torres…
I kind of agree with you…. but I guess we will never know what was said between him and the board… maybe they did promise he could go to a club in CL, maybe they did not…
Ass-nal are a bunch of morons trying to take advantage of d suarez saga…I Wonder wat suarez even sees in dis stupid team called arsenal dat can’t even win a competition they organised…a team dat has not won any for d past 8yrs n counting…well if he eventually joins ur trophiless team den he will surely walk alone.
What exactly is moronic about trying to sign a player to improve our team?
LFC should try it sometime.
Been known to work now and again…
Oh I know, like signing Luiz Suarez for example. Right?
I will try to write a sentence in your language…. here goes…
jus cos de ass not wun anyting fr hate yrs no reeson to ate dem, a lees dey av klaas unlike livepoo
How was that my friend?
Hahahahha….ass-nal are bunch of morons…take it or leave it
Luis’ comment about a “local rival” was obviously aimed at Everton and not the Arse! Luis knows that once Liverpool agree to sell him then other clubs “might” want in on the buy???? He doesn’t really want to go to the Arse, he wants Real Madrid and has stated so more than once. I wonder if Real is setting up Wenger for another heartache( Higuian)??? by waiting a little longer before jumping in at the end of the transfer window with a low ball offer?
good point, maybe AW has a cunning plan also?
Jesus ,
You gunners fans are a funny lot , slagging off Rodgers because he won’t sell his best player to you.
Rodgers is a Liar ? Because Suarez always tells the truth eh .
I think when Suarez leaves Liverpool , the gunners are gonna look pretty stupid when he signs for somebody else . If you want to get personally insult Rodgers , lets not forget what your manager is behind closed doors
Classier than BR and Livepoo?
Nah.
We are slagging off Rodgers because he has the cheek to call Arsenal classless.
Let’s see. Arsenal make 2 bids, did not mention them publicly.
Ok I get the extra £1 was a bit off but hardly classless. Clearly it was thought that the extra £1 triggered a release clause.
Liverpool on the other hand, Rodgers, Ayre, The mouthy yank, all openly chating to the media, slagging Arsenal off at every opportunity they get.
But Arsenal are classless. Riiiggghhhhttt.
Fucking bin dipping cunts.
Hahahah…he who calls arsenal a bigger club dan liverpool surely needs glasses to see clearer
Point taken, just cleaned my glasses and taken a look at the current EPL table and Livepoo are quite a way down that list…
But it’s the truth.
Liverpool aren’t big anymore.
That’s why he wants out.
If he stays he won’t even get any Europa League action, which isn’t fair for someone of his quality and age.
so his logic is, lets go play for a club that never looks like winning anything. He just wants to play in the champions league and doesnt want to win it…haha
Lfc still remains d most succesful club in england n i wonder wat ass-nal can even offer him if at all he joins
you are wrong, as much as it pains me to say it, Manpoo have won the most trophies….
liverpool are actually 1 competitive trophy ahead of ManPoo
Ure getting it all wrong…lfc is still ahead united…go d a research.
Extmerely helpful article, please write more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_football_clubs_in_England_by_major_honours_won
Manpoo 61
Livepoo 60
Lack of class – Wasn’t it Liverpool who spent the all of the £350 million loan which was earmarked for the new stadium on players and are still stuck in their hovel and the past 7 years later.
Lack of class – sacking club legend Kenny Daglish after winning a trophy and getting his team in another final.
your so silly it makes me laugh haha
OI, SCOUSERS, YOU SINGLE CELL OMOEBA (STOP TRYING TO THINK WHAT THEY ARE AS YOU’LL NEVER WORK IT OUT), TWO MORE BRAIN CELLS AND YOU COULD HAVE BEEN CABBAGES! SUAREZ IS COMING TO ARSENAL ON THE CHEAP NOW. RODGERS HAS BEEN FOUND OUT AS THE LIAR AND CLASSLESS C@NT HE IS. GET OVER IT, WE HAVE. LOL. ANYMORE HUB-CAP NICKING PERM HEADED BUSHY SIDEBURN TRACKSUIT WEARING SCAGHEADS FROM THAT SHITPIT OF A CITY LIVERPOOL WANT TO ADD TO THE DEBATE? THERE MUST BE A COUPLE UP THERE WITH I,Q’S JUST ABOVE THAT OF A SINGLE CELL OMOEBA SURELY! NO, THOUGHT AS MUCH. NUFF SAID.
Two more brain cells and you would have realised you had caps lock on when you were writing that. Three more brain cells and you might be able to spell properly. haha
and if you had a few more brain cells you could have been a gooner
DIP SHIT. THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY SPELLING, AND IF YOU WENT TO SCHOOL YOU WOULD HAVE REALISED THAT YOU SINGLE CELL OMOEBA. AND THE CAPS LOCK IS ON FOR A REASON, OK F@CKING SCOUSE TWAT.
Not once has suarez said he wants to move to arsenal. He has only said in the interview what he said in private. Changes nothing really. The ball is in Arsenals court, pay the 50-55 mill or sit down, simple as that.
and of course you have copies of the contract and a recording of it on your play desk in front of you?
AND AS TO THE DEBATE ABOUT WHO’S BIGGER, ARSENAL ARE BIGGER THAN LIVERPOOL IN ALMOST EVERY WAY. ARSENAl 4TH RICHEST CLUB BEHIND REAL, BARCA, MAN UTD. BIGGEST REGISTERED FAN BASE, REAL, BARCA, MAN UTD, ARSENAL WITH 125MILLION, LIVERPOOL IN 6TH PLACE WITH 75MILLION, AND IF YOU NEED CONFORMATION OF THAT GO ON LINE, LIKE I DID AND YOU CAN FIND OUT YOURSELVES. WE HAVE STATE OF THE ART TRAINING FACILITIES, YOU HAVE A PARK, WE HAVE A BRAND NEW STATE OF THE ART STADIUM, YOU HAVE THAT DECREPID OLD WAREHOUSE YOU CALLED ANFIELD, WE HAVE CHAMPS LEAGUE FOOTBALL (AGAIN), YOU HAVEN’T EVEN GOT YOUR FAVOURITE “CHANNEL 5” CUP. WHY WOULDN’T SUAREZ WANT TO COME TO THE EMIRATES! WE HAVE ALMOST EVERYTHING A PLAYER REQUIRES TO ENJOY HIS PLAYING CAREER, WHAT HAVE YOU LOT GOT? AND “RIVER CROSS THE MERSEY” DOESN’T COUNT YOU CABBAGES.
ASS HOLE, YOU ARE A TWAT. BET YOU’VE NEVER SEEN LIVERPOOL LET ALONE BEEN TO THE STADIUM. STICK THAT LITTLE HEAD OF YOURS BACK IN ITS POKEY LITTLE HOLE AND STAY OFF OUR SITE YOU SHITE PICKER!
Arsenal to the world,Wenger has done a magnificient job at the Emerites,yes we went thru a 8yr drought,but he was jus sortin out busines..
In another two yrs,real gunners will appreciate his wrk,liverpool no worries its gunnee time now to lure away stars you dig?
