You're being a bit revisionist and splitting hairs here. Make no mistake, Liverpool were absolutely loathed to selling Torres, we can dig up all sorts of articles on this, the before summer Suarez was being scouted with the aim to be bought in the hope he would stay, be revitalised and help take you to top 4, alongside Gerrard he was undoubtedly your star man. At the time was a world class player, struggling for form through injuries.

It's the same situation again, Liverpool are just trying to make sure they get a different outcome.

Well lets hope for a different outcome.... we could afford to sell to Chelsea, we cant afford to sell to Arsenal

I doubt Liverpool would consider selling to Arsenal unless they upped their bid, so you're pretty much fine at the moment, but if they offer around £50m, then Suárez is likely to leave - in my opinion, anyway.
 
After seeing the John W. Henry comments can't see liverpool selling now and tbf if they don't end up selling suarez good for them players have too much power as it is. With the Bale deal seeming to stall Madrid may still come in and I think he would be a better signing for them than Bale in my eyes abd him and Ronaldo in the same team would be frightening. I hope liverpool stick to their guns and make him stick around for this season at least they looked really good in the latter half of the season and for all his faults I'd rather have him in the premier league than not.
 
To be honest i think it is more Henry trying to force Suarez to hand in a transfer request, can not really seem him staying after everything Suarez has said as well as some Liverpool fans. Weather he comes to arsenal or not is anyone guess.
 
Well Liverpool have already broken the clause Suarez had in his contract. Clause said if minimum price of 40m is offered Liverpool must negotiate right price for sale of player. They rejected out of hand our bid of 40m + 1.

I thought that was only for Champions league teams and Liverpool argues were not technically a champions league team yet.

You mean Arsenal and yes we are. Qualifications are part of Champions league.

No even PFA chief Gordon Taylor states the clause doesn't say Liverpool have to sell, just that 40 mill + 1 means there can be discussions so if Liverpool don't want to sell they don't have too. All the power is with Liverpool given the time left on his contract I think they'll stick to their guns and keep him.

Have to agree to disagree on the qualification bit, i just think both parties are trying to save face and look like they are acting for the right reasons.

Liverpool haven't broken any clause, even the PFA chief mentioned it. It was a vague clause and one which means **** all.

Vague clause true, but if it says that if offer over minimum amount comes in then club must negotiate for sale of player in good faith.

Liverpool rejected our bid straight.

Probably they rate him very higher and think that 40 Million is nowhere good enough deal for them?
 
they no clause in the contract it a fiction like Goldilocks and three bears and arsenal win a trophy.

Especially after Cavani's and Falcao's went for 50m+ , but 40m is minimum price set into the contract and clause was triggered by offering above it which we did.

Eventhough 40m isn't enough for them if they wanted to do things right they wouldn't have rejected, but negotiated after our offer. They rejected it straight which means they broke the clause.

This looks like reading too much between the lines. The clause was when someone makes bid of 40 million Liverpool will let Suarez know which itself is a bs clause and nothing more.

"If you are going to have a supposed buy-out clause it should be that, but it is different as it says if there is no qualification for the Champions League [by Liverpool] and if there is a minimum offer of £40million then the parties will get around the table to discuss things but it does not say the club has to sell."It quite clearly states £40million is a minimum offer for discussions, but it becomes really difficult with such clauses.

No where it says club has to sell, yes it says parties will get around the table to discuss things and by the look of things discussion didn't end in Suarez favor.

That 40m and then inform the player is pretty much BS. Agents are informed if offers are made for their players anyway.

Parties never got around the table as Liverpool rejected it straight out of hand. ( = broke the clause )
 
Why are we still debating the clause? This was sorted out days ago...

Also I think Liverpool, the team that put the clause in his contract, know more about it than some fans on a forum.

The head of the PFA has said Liverpool have done nothing wrong. End of argument
 
Arsenal are quite lucky Liverpool are not interested in reporting them... The one big problem in all of this is Pere Guardola, Luis' agent has got everything wrong so far, all the information he leaked to Arsenal has been all incorrect, Arsenal have been made look foolish with that 40mil and £1 bid. As Henry said:

"How does a club who doesn't have permission to speak with your player see his contract? It should have been confidential," Henry said. "Unfortunately it's the way it works in football. People don't speak about it publicly but that's the way it's run. It's how things are done. I don't think there's a point because it just seems to happen everywhere. It's rotten."
