Yea I doubt anything major will happen before next week at least.
There is a story here, and a bid, but the story is embargoed (till tomorrow i think) so I would wait then for the details
Arsenal have failed in their latest attempt to sign Luis Suárez despite making an extraordinary offer of £40,000,001 that they had hoped would force Liverpool to sell the Uruguay forward.
The eye-catching figure was formulated by Suárez’s agent, Pere Guardiola, who believed that Liverpool would have to allow his client to leave in the event of any interested party offering in excess of £40 million.
Liverpool have always held a different interpretation of the relevant clause in the former Ajax player’s contract, however, insisting that they need only to consider such a offer, and their conviction that is the case resulted in a swift rejection of Arsenal’s latest bid.
Liverpool officials were bemused by the nature of Arsenal’s latest attempt to acquire Suárez, particularly after Ian Ayre, the Anfield club’s managing director, informed Ivan Gazidis, the Arsenal chief executive, over a fortnight ago that £40 million would not be enough to buy the 26-year-old regardless of whatever encouragement Guardiola was offering them.
That came in the immediate aftermath of Arsenal’s initial £30 million offer, which they claimed would be their first and only bid. Arsène Wenger’s growing belief that Suárez is willing to join Arsenal, however, encouraged the North London club to submit an improved offer. After Liverpool also gave that proposal short shrift, they will have to decide whether or not to continue their pursuit.
In keeping with their own analysis of Suárez’s contract, Liverpool will inform the player of Arsenal’s latest offer after their pre-season friendly against Melbourne Victory today.
Yeah, but we've been paying off the stadium, so now we finally get to spend some dosh as we've signed new deals too, so it's a massive boost.
As to if we'll blow 50m on Suarez.. tbh I hope we have more than one target and strengthen the midfield too.. but assuming that I'd love to see the crazy ****** scoring in an Arsenal shirt..although I doubt I'll ever like the man, the issues are too entrenched atm..

If it does happen, you will
one of them players you absolutely love as part of your team... nobody admits it when he is against you but you just have to like him!
Or not. We've had our fair share of bastards at United, but there is nothing about Suarez that would make me like him. And that was before he joined Liverpool.
not me the guy is a class a ***** and after the way liverpool have stood by him then he turns round and says all the things he said the guy has no classagain, nobody admits it while he plays for the opposition... you give him a few months, a few match winning moments and the time to show how good he actually is and he becomes a fan favorite
you may be in the minority, but most eventually will come to like him

No. There is a basic line I draw, and he is beyond that for me. I didnt like him at Ajax, and I certainly dont like him now. Couldnt give a stuff about match winning. I'm not into the players are role models thing. But no. Not for me.

Got to say, I do partly agree with Marshall. Although I really don't want us to buy him, if we do and he performs like he did last season I think 90% of people will be on his side. Adebayor is an utter *****, as is Nasri (Not just because they left Arsenal, RvP is about has been as classy about it as you can get when joining a rival) but we all loved them when they were wearing the red-and-white!
Some of the things Roy Keane did was in my opinion worse than the majority of stuff Suarez has done... and he seemed pretty well liked!
