this reported Arse bid for Suarez is very odd.
Surely it is a pathetic attempt by the board to keep the bleating fans happy but knowing full well the bid was bound to fail?
"See look we are trying to buy the best players in the world with record bids etc etc (even know we know there is no chance of it happening)"

A tactic started by their N London neighbours through the 90s and beyond. Unlikely bids for star players who would never sign, or ridiculously low bids for players that might sign, always appeared to keep their fuckwitted fans happy.
