Interesting that Lowe has not added a comments section to that piece which contains no quotes from either Suarez or his 'camp' and only contains edited bits from Wengers quote. But as you say who's really worried about a hack like Lowe manages to cobble together in a rag like The Guardian. I wouldn't have even known about it if dd hadn't of referenced it. So it's really made an impact!
Be nice, 8 years is a long time waiting to taste any sort of success, well, the shareholders at Arsenal taste success every year I suppose
The only champ bottles you will hear go pop down south every year is at an Arsenal shareholders meeting
They finished 16 points behind the prem winners and only one point ahead of a Europa League place and they think they're part of the European elite.
http://www.thisisanfield.com/2013/0...o-be-pointed-towards-suarezs-agent-guardiola/ âI suspect Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have been planning Luis Suarez as their main signing for some time and to discover that such a clause is not valid and doesnât work runs the risk of seriously wasting Arsenalâs time as well.â So, Wenger has been 'grooming' a young man for some time. Who'd have thought that, eh?
Arsenal are playing up the road from me today, v City in Helsinki. A lot of Finns talking about Manchester City playing against some team from france
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/aug/09/luis-suarez-liverpool We called his bluff; he won't put in a transfer request. But he won't apologise. **** him.
Don't care either way whether he plays for us again, the only issue is his valuation dropping, we want to wring every solitary pound out of the idiot when he goes.
honeslty that was just a stupid bid form chavski. if we can get some asshole club like psg to bid fine. I hope he goes to the WC and stars and we sell him for 65mil. simple.... bad year to sell this is why arsenal tried it on
If the club value him at £55m, why is a release clause set at £40m? Who is involved in setting the trigger amount? It seems daft that a bid of £40m is laughed at when someone at the club was involved in coming to that figure.
It's not a release clause. It's a notification of bid clause. And the start of negotiations to get to 50/55 mil.
Way I've read it, if someone bids over £40m then the club have to start negotiating but are not required to sell. If that is the case, we could have just said "okay, we want £200m and the keys to your stadium", fair enough that would be ridiculous but its still negotiating
The whole business about the clause does not make sense. I think Suarez has been truly stitched up by the club and I am not surprised he feels quite annoyed. What is this "amount to start talking" ? It simply has no benefit for the player and as you say the club could still say, we start talking at £40 million but we are selling the player at £200m. I doubt Suarez would ave signed the new contract if he realised that the £40m was not a release figure..
Suarez has been well and truly stitched up? yet the extra £1 was acceptable? sounds like they was trying to shaft us so no ruddy sympathy for that twat or Arsenal, tried a fast one and back fired, **** him.
It took Gordon Taylor a couple of hours to see, unequivocally, that it was not a release clause. If Guardiola and suarez were too dumb to read the contract that they signed then it's their fault. What a stupid comment, contracts are there for a reason - clearly setting out the terms of the agreement.
It's not a release clause. It's a clause that allows negotiations with the club to begin, e.g. you then make a higher bid if the valuation of the club isn't met. Don't treat it as a release clause when Arsenal were stupid enough to treat it as such. It's not our fault they had no intention of negotiating and wanted to get him for the absolute minimum.
Maybe 'stitched up' is a bit strong but it seems the Suarez camp thought they had agreed a release clause. They should have read the contract more carefully. Their fault of course but a clause for 'talking' maybe so unusual that they didn't realise and did not check out the wording... It does not stop Suarez from feeling aggrieved.
