What a one-sided analysis that is!

You are right when you say that it is not just the letter but also the intent of contractual terms that are important when considering contractual disputes. However a contract of this complexity will almost certainly contain and undertaking detailing the place and law that will be applied to any arbitration process should a dispute arise regarding the terms or performance of the contract.

I really don't understand why you should even suggest that LFC would engage in contractual practices based upon deception. There is no evidence of that. The club, to the best of my knowledge have never been accused of engaging in such procedures. You comment is in effect a slur.

As for the understanding of Suarez and his agent then it is their responsibility to know and understand the terms and conditions of the contract that they are signing no matter what language it is written in.

Bingo! Not our fault if Luis and his Agent don't understand the contract, "Stupidity" plee won't have a leg to stand on in any court of law!
 
His ban doesn't count in other leagues/European competition. It is a ban by the FA so he can only be banned for FA competitions (PL, League Cup, FA Cup, Charity Shield).

true but that is subject to the buying clubs FA agreeing to honour the ban. Eg, the French FA with Barton's <ok>
 
This is the crux of the issue right here. Arsenal fans can wind up Liverpool fans and Liverpool fans can swagger back, but the nuts and bolts of it will be decided by the lawyers. I am not a legal expert, but if Liverpool are right and the clause does just mean that they need to let Suarez know about an offer, it seems to be a somewhat pointless clause to put in a contract, and it then comes down to what the parties believed when they were signing it.

The letter of the contract is sometimes less significant than the intent. If Suarez believed he had a buyout clause and his agents have supporting documents to show that when they negotiated the contract, the intent of the clause was to act as a buyout, then even if it was badly transcribed into the final document, it will hold up. Not only that, but if the contract was written with the deliberate intent to deceive, then it gets worse, the contract itself could be declared void and Liverpool might end up in very bad shape.

As I say, I haven't really got a clue, but this isn't something that is going to depend on what Arsenal fans or Liverpool fans want. It is going to be a bunch of old people in a dark room pouring over very dull documents.

Liverpool have no reason to let Suarez go for that price and Arsenal probably wont want to go any higher, so it all comes down to the clause in the contract, which might well be in two languages and have a whole host of complications.

Unless Suarez and his agent insisted on a release clause and the club was creative in getting around it <whistle>
 
I can tell you one thing MFG, I would bet that Rodgers can do a lot better than 35 mil Andy Carroll.

BREAKING NEWS
Luis Suarez will be allowed to hold talks with Arsenal but Liverpool have no intention of selling their striker until his £50m-plus valuation is met.

Arsenal's club-record bid of £40m plus £1 was firmly rejected by Liverpool but Suarez now wants to hold talks with the north London club.

The approach triggered a clause in his contract that means he has been told of the bid and can now talk to Arsenal. But Liverpool will not sell him until Arsenal up their offer significantly.
 
Would be very stupid if we accept anything lower than 50m seeing as we've now come out and said that we value him at that price.

So either pay 50m+ Le'Arse or don't have Suarez at all. <ok>
 
I think Arsenal will point to PSG being another Man City / Chelsea too

We will point to the league and international that Suarez is arguably better than Cavani.
