The sensational transfer of Luis Suárez continues to move closer and closer as Arsenal has triggered a clause in his contract - Suarez is aware of the bid now (legally) and asked Liverpool to allow him to hold talks with Arsenal.
Furthermore, Arsenal and Suarez have already agreed personal terms in principle - a five year deal which would see him net £150k per week.
“He is very much a Liverpool player”
According to Brendan Rodgers, Suárez is still very much a Liverpool player, but I beg to differ.
The £150k per week is a significant raise from his current £120k per week contract at Liverpool. That coupled with Arsenal’s ability to offer him Champions League football seems to have encouraged Suárez to promptly start the process of handing in a formal transfer request.
Also, Suárez couldn’t have seemed less interested in Liverpool’s friendly against Melbourne Victory today despite brilliantly setting up a goal by Iago Aspas.
He looks more like somebody who is barely a Liverpool player.
“What’re they smoking?”
John W Henry, Liverpool’s owner, posted via his official twitter account “What’re they smoking over there at Emirates?” A bit ironic coming from the guy who sanctioned the signing of Andy Carroll for £35 million, Stuart Downing for £20 million and still believes that Suárez will be in Merseyside next season.
If Suárez does in fact hand in a transfer request, Wenger’s cheeky £40,000,001 won’t be such a laughing matter to the Liverpool executives as we would probably end up landing him for closer to £45 million as opposed to Liverpool’s £55 million valuation of the Uruguayan.
Sign him quick
Arsenal do need to move swiftly, however, as Higuaín has sealed a move to Napoli. Ancelloti will be wanting to use those funds to replace the Argentine and will no doubt move in for Suárez very soon.

***ing Liverpool fans sour grapes just get over the fact that even with a world class striker in your team you couldn't even finish above Everton how embarrassing r u really that surprised that a player of his calibre wants to play for real trophies ***ing ***s don't blame Suarez for your team being ***e!
If you took the time to look into things rather than just spouting your mouth, you'd find a large number of Arsenal fans still don't want Luis Suarez at the club and wanted to bring in Gonzalo Higuain instead.
Arsenal have a bigger global fanbase than Liverpool. That's a fact, don't let Brendan Rodgers convince you other wise.
HAHAHAHAHA A Liverpool fan questioning Arsenal's signings. All bar Arshavin would walk into the Liverpool starting XI, and considering only Giroud (though that might not be the case once we've taken your best player) is a starter for Arsenal, that might give you an indication why Suarez would rather play for Arsenal than Liverpool.
Hmm that is interesting, can you please remind me what LFC paid for Andy Carol? :):)
95,000 ozzy fans not lfc fans you muppet,lfc couldnt afford the trip out to oz
Hard to believe all these gooners, the same ones who called Suarez a disgrace an should be banned for life now want him in their team, what a load of hypocrites...
Arsenal have at least reached the quarter finals
for the last 15 years.
Quote from the Guardian 20 June 2013:
Gonzalo Higuaín has reached an agreement in principle with Arsenal over personal terms on a four-year contract, as his move from Real Madrid edges closer. The Argentina striker is the marquee addition that Arsène Wenger wants this summer and the manager is ready to break the Arsenal transfer record to sign him.

So what is GH axctually doing in Naples these days?
You list all of those players and they still don't add up to the price of Carrol and Henderson. Not to mention Giroud is better than Carrol and camberlain is going to be a beast.
Just a personal opinion.
We will just wait for Real Madrid then and let your arse hanging dry!
