Football

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)"

I don't know.
It makes footballing sense, in that he will score goals and is without doubt an excellent footballer.
He doesn't fit the mould of an Arsenal player - but then maybe that is a good thing.

Alternatively, it could be seen as a hurry up move to Real Madrid, Arsenal most likely knowing that any move would be rebuffed but that it might put impetus behind Madrid to allow the Higuain move to go through...
