Nobody bids 1.4m. The highest bidder wins. People made bid of ₦1,465,000.00. If he had bidded ₦1.4m he would've missed out on a very great opportunity. Most of his colleagues who lost the bid are locking their wound
OK.

Please read
Read in between the lines.

First they said its REPORTED 200m, that is rumoured

Second they said it could be 70m

Wenger spent 10m for Cech while begging for Benzema all summer

Truth is there were no funds. grin

Why won't you people understand this is not a bid process or bargain example. A fixed buy out clause in a contract is not negotiable. If it was stated clearly in Suarez contract that any bid above 40million Suarez could leave the club then arsenal triggered the clause with the 40million + 1 pound simple as that. The agent gave Arsenal wrong interpretation of the contract clause.
There is a lot of misinformation to this story, so that sentiment got the better of the fans.

What are you even saying? Everybody knows it's just like a normal bid process, when the seller pegs the minimum for £40m it is only normal for you as a prospective buyer to better that minimum asking price with something reasonable.

£1 in Suarez's case is not reasonable by all standards. Adding £1,000,000.00 to that wouldn't have made Arsenal bankrupt. Whoever sanctioned that bid be it Wenger or the board is to blame for the deal going south.

A vehicle was put up for bidding at a friend's workplace recently. The asking price was 1.4m, my friend wanted to bid 1.450m but I told him to do 1.470m to show seriousness. He did and won the bid. That's how u show seriousness in the market, not giving insulting offers
Bad financial advice.

There was auction too last year at my office for used 2hp AC. I told a junior colleague to bid N15,000, he was like will it work? I asked, what would you lose? He did and won. He wanted to bid N75,000

I don't see any misinformation here.
Even if the agent says anything above the factual club could trigger it, why should a sane human being bring 1 pound.
Even locally, if you want to buy something from, let's say, all these roadside aboki. And you guys have bargained up to 1000 naira. And he just said you should top something to the 1000 naira, that he can't just accept 1000naira. Would you have topped #5 to the 1000#?
Inside that an insult to the aboki man as a business man?
How much more a club like Liverpool?
In a legal situation it is OK. The reason why the deal couldn't be triggered was because THERE WAS NO CLAUSE.

The agent gave wrong information and Liverpool never wanted to sell no matter the circumstances.

Blame Suarez agent for the mis information not the club. His agent said anything above 40million would trigger the clause. The problem was it was not a factual clause but misinformation towards Arsenal by Suarez' agent. He specifically told them anything more than 40m would trigger the clause, even one pound, but it did not.

lol, seems you've forgotten.
Suarez was desperate to come to arsenal then. We needed a striker also. He even told one of our players then to find a house for him.
Even tho, Liverpool didn't want to sell to us, he was so desperate that he wants to come to us, cos of that Liverpool had no choice than to give in. So they said his release clause was 40million pounds. Arsenal brought the £40m then, but they insisted arsenal "top" something to it, that they can't sell at exactly £40m to trigger it.
I guess a 40.5m pounds will do or £41m.
But wenger, in his infinite wisdom and stinginess just added a pound, making it [/b]40m and 1pound[b].
That angered everyone at Liverpool that dey have to cut off the deal.
Just that singular act made us lose Suarez in the summer of 2013, which would have made him donning an arsenal shirt
Liverpool were never going to sell Suarez to us in the first place, and Wenger knew that, that was why he did that to spite Liverpool.

If you think Liverpool would have sold Suarez for whatever plus 40mil you are just being ignorant.

Mr Spy will disagree with him, Spy is like Wenger, A loving loyal father ready to be patient in taking shits till they let him down over and over and eventually repaying him with an exit. lipsrsealed
Actually I do agree with him. Aubameyang is over 30, he shouldn't be here next season when we want to rebuild. Arteta needs to make as in MAKE or MOULD his own players in his own image. This therefore is the right time to get some millions off him. I wouldn't mind him moving to City or MagaUnited, clubs who can easily fall Mugu. grin

My point why are they afraid of pointing to wengay the main culprit instead of accusing one another.
This man brought them together he knows some are just useless yet he's trying to make them complement each other.
Look at the season Eduardo broke his leg, wengay didn't buy replacement we were almost unstoppable then.
Gallas cried his eyes out when he realised we won't win the league again
I swear e no go better for wengay for all the pains he caused us.
Sagna was one of the best RB in EPL till date, I think everyone is just looking for Scape goat but afraid to mention wengay because they took him as a father figure
Yes Wenger is to blame, but if you are the manager and the club owner tells you he isn't giving you any money to sign players what will you do? Use your own money?

Seeing him with a girlfriend means nothing. They could simply be beards or a woman he arranges with who will consider being his fake girlfriend for a particular amount, Liberace had a beard which included Betty white and other hot supermodels, Olympic gold medalist Greg Louganis had a beard, Anthony Perkins had a beard etc, there are even rumors that Cheryl cole was Ashley cole's beard and when their contract ended, she filed a fake divorce. Michael Fashanu's daughter once said that there are about 12 big gay football players in the premier league and 9 in the Spanish league whom she knows of who are secretly gay with girlfriends who they pay to make them look straight and she also considered being a beard once. Or he could garnish up a lesbian who also wants to fool the world into thinking she's straight, they might end up getting married. It's called "lavender marriages", Celebs do it all the time but all in all, he could be straight. He's not the only one who's saying football isn't ready for openly gay footballers, Other prominent sportsmen and coaches who are straight and legends in their fields have all said the same thing. It's best gay men in sports keep their sexuality hidden, it's an hypermasculine environment, you don't want to loose your fans and you don't want your teammates to look at you in some way or to be scared to be in the same shower or locker room with you. I heard about one who came out in college and since he came out, most of his teammate refused to even shake his hand. As long as the women consent to the fake relationship, then it's ok because they will never ever have a home in sport.
You seem obsessed about gay people. There is a thin straight line between gay people and those obsessed about them.

Well he hasn't actually come out as gay, but his body language and his talks about 'the football world not being ready for openly gay footballers ' are pointers to the fact that he may be one.

Seems you didn't get our opinion about fab from the onset.
We're just saying the reason he left was was the truth and it's valid.
Just like hazard, he's a Chelsea legend, but that doesn't erase the fact that he flirted with Madrid throughout his stay at Chelsea.
You think if Chelsea wasn't successful he wouldn't have hand in transfer request or left Chelsea b4 last year?
That's all what we're saying about fabregas. Not claiming he should come back to be a legend or not
I get you bro. I am only adding that 'what does he want now by raising the issue?

I don't know about hall of fame.
But one thing I do know is, Pires, ljumberg, Vieira, Ian wright etc are all legends too.

Also, Ashley Cole is never a legend cos of the way he left arsenal. There is a reason he's called cashley Cole. Same way koscielny won't be called a legend too.
Google Arsenal FC museum, that's where you see statutory legends.

I wanted spy to answer it. After all, Vieira didn't do any 2nd coming.
And he left even at his peak, same situation as henry (tho he was eased off cos of fabregas)
Vieira gave the best part of his career to us, same as Lampard to Chelsea. Can you say same of Fabregas? In fact Fabregas made two attempts to leave before he succeeded. He had never hidden his connection for Barça. Arsenal was forced to insert a but back clause to his deal. This itself failed to materialise after his failure with his Barça dream.

Don't mind spy. That was a gaffe on his part; saying Henry coming back cemented his lgedary status.

Like say Lampard was not already hero at Chelsea even when heater played for man city.
I have explained that the circumstances in which Henry left COULD have affected his relationship with the club. It did for me. I wanted to hate him after that UCL finals. My love for him was rekindled when he returned and actually scored that Henrysiqued goal Vs Leeds in the FA cup. That game ended 1-0.

Bros this is your post which I objected to:

"Henry left for Barca under similar circumstances but found a way to return to the club even scoring goals again and retiring here. That's what has qualified him as a legend"

U specifically said it was about his return. That was why I entred the discussion. That was the only reason I quoted u to disagree with that and let u know Henry was arguably our best player in modern day football. Nobody comes close to him based on what he achieved in his time at the club b4 joining barca.

I don't know why u are changing mouth.....maybe cos u agree Ur initial assertion maybe far from the truth sha. No wàhálà

Are you saying Ashley Cole is a legend, but doesn't have legendary status?
Lol...
Please, what's the difference between being a legend and having a legendary status?
Lol, even me nor know.

Well, a statutory legend as it implies is one who is officially recognised by the club. Eg Tony Adams, Denis Bergkamp, Charlie Nicholas, David Seaman. I hope you know people are inducted into our Hall of Fame.

Ordinary legend in this context are those who just make up the record books.

Nobody says fab is a legend, or should be crowned one.
What we said was, all those his speech he gave concerning his transfer away from arsenal are valid and true.
Most arsenal fans who are logical won't hold it against him.
I have stated before that I don't hold it against him. My point was why he raised the issue, if he wasn't considering fan's acceptance of him as a club legend?

He left. That matter is dead and buried. We have move on just as Roland17 opined.

You are talking a rubbish. You are talking a nonesense my friend!

Which one be statutory legend undecided Na statutory Hennessy vsop u go see.

Ashley Cole left arsenal in a controversial circumstance, nobody will ever regard him a legend.

Ronaldo is in no way a legend to man utd like he is to Madrid. Everybody knows this. His achievement at Madrid has overshadowed whatever he had achieved with man utd

Just accept Henry is Arsenal's All time highest goal scorer, he won the Golden shoe 4 Times, lifted the epl twice and the FA cup twice. That is what qualifies him to be a legend.

Not some mumbo jumbo about his return to the club on a six montb loan spell as an old man.
Easy.

It's not about his return.

If you consider the circumstances in which he left, a lot of fans were already against him. His missed chances against Barça in the finals, plus the customised jersey Puyol gave him after the match. Fans easily could have forgotten all the achievements.

He could still have gotten his name in our record books but believe me, he would never have gotten that statue in front of Emirates Stadium.

Back to the point of argument, should Fabregas receive the same treatment as Henry?

True...he didn't act crazy at first when he scored the first goal against us.
I'm not talking about his celebration against us wen he scored, I'm talking about how he left us wen we needed him most, wen we stood at him at his critical time. Nobody is against his personal ambition, what most are angry for is the loyalty he destroyed when we needed him.
He just gave arsenal 1 season. If he had stayed put at least till the 2nd full injury-free season, I'm sure no one will have hated him the way we do.

That's just my take, not necessarily the goal celebration he did against us.
You are having double views o. How is RVP different from Fabregas?

Both left at their peaks.

Henry would have still been a legend whether he did the 2nd coming to arsenal or not. He's already paid his legendary dues before he left for barca. Coming back the 2nd time doesn't confirm anything. Just like drogba, his 2nd coming to Chelsea have no impact on his legendary status. He was already a legend before he left Chelsea.

Tell me any elite player that stuck to a club during the trophyless years , when the said player is not a local boy to that club growing up.
Is it Gerrard that's a lifelong Liverpool fan wen he was young, grew up at Merseyside and Liverpool run through his veins, or totti(same situation at AS Roma). That's why I named wilshere as someone who would have stayed at arsenal for long, no matter how underachieving we were if not for injuries, cos he's really a local boy, and he dearly loved arsenal (just like arsenal blood were running through his veins).

Now to the bolded.
Name me at least, 2 top players that stayed at a particular club during their barren spells when that said top player isn't a local boy, let's see (at least, from year 2000 upwards).
Forgive me if my opinion doesn't tally with yours, just understand me.


Drogba gave the best part of his career to Chelsea. Coming back to finish there is a huge bonus.

Rooney gave his best part for United, he doesn't need to finish there, he has legendary status.

Fabregas left at his peak, he failed in his attempt to return back when he could still do things. He shouldn't expect us to rename London Colney after him.

Look at Arteta, came from Everton, gave us his peak career, left, came back to manage us in this trying times. He only needs a title to have his name besides Emirates.

Welcome to the Arteta Emirates Stadium

How did u come about the bold part of Ur post?

Henry has been a legend b4 coming back and scoring goals na. His coming back was not what qualified him a legend o; it was what he achieved at the club that made him one Jare.
One thing is to be a legend, another is to have legendary status.
Henry became a statutory legend because he finished with us. Same cannot be said of someone like Ashley Cole for example.

Ronaldo can be a United legend, but he won't have the official status.
