Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 19th July Part Two

As we move in to the off-season an unprecedented amount of managerial movement around Europe will surely see an already frantic transfer market go in to overdrive. This will give plenty of opportunities for transfer rumour and gossip. So how much of it is realistic?

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been told he can spend £40m on Liverpool’s 26-year-old striker Luis Suarez.

Full story: Daily Mail

What’s the story? Very interesting. If Arsenal do meet this mysterious release clause that may or may not exist, it will put Suarez in an strange position. He said he wanted to leave Liverpool to get out of England so how can he possibly move to Arsenal? But then, maybe Mr. Suarez isn’t the man to rely on for that?
Does it make sense? This would be a fabulous signing for Arsenal on the football pitch if they can handle the off field distractions that will follow him around.
Is the price right? There was a theory that this was a release clause figure but no one really knows. It’s probably the right price for him considering he can score and make goals in such quantity.
Will it happen? 4/10 – It seems to be sneaking away from completely impossible to somewhat improbable.
