Suarez may be edging closer to becoming a Gooner

First and foremost are my apologies for lack of posting over the last few weeks. While I have been away basking in the glorious sunshine Spain had to offer, I was constantly reading the sports pages of the English newspapers seeing what may be of interest to write about once I got home. I also entertained myself keeping count of all the Arsenal shirts with Cazorla's name printed on the back!

Interestingly, I am very surprised at the latest stages of the Suarez-Arsenal transfer talk. I can't say I imagined Arsene Wenger to be making such a serious move for the Uruguayan and perhaps he is looking to sign him over Real Madrid's Higuain.

I am confused however as Suarez has said he wishes to move away from England due to the media's attention around him and treatment, so why does he now want talks with Arsenal? Arsenal's £40,000,001 bid made me chuckle but hey, I like Arsene's style at triggering the clause in Suarez's contract.

However, a bid of £50m may be able to persuade Liverpool to part with the striker.

I remain down the middle on whether I would like to see the striker at Arsenal. As I have written before, the striker has been lethal and proved himself in the Premier League but his attitude and behaviour has proved to be unprofessional and disgusting, but then maybe Arsene will have a more controlling and positive influence on him all round.

I read today that Brendan Rodgers feels Suarez owes something to Liverpool, who have backed him during difficult times at the club, but then again Van Persie left for United when maybe he owed us Arsenal fans who backed him during his injury-ridden career in North London.

However when a player wants out it is only fair to let them go and so if Suarez wants to leave then it would only be bad for Liverpool and Rodgers to wish to keep him at Anfield.

To see Arsene bring him in and screw Liverpool over, would show a different and stronger approach by Arsenal in the transfer market and signal intent of their aggressiveness that we may need to show more of, both on and off the pitch.
