andycap Posted July 5, 2025 Share Posted July 5, 2025 Mbuemo might be kicking himself if he doesn't get his move to man utd. It's alright nailing your colours to the mast as far as wages and club he wants to join but can they afford to pay the asking price? 😂 We have moved on so have others it seems.

leffe186 Posted July 5, 2025 Share Posted July 5, 2025 2 hours ago, healthyaddiction said: Why is it that clubs like Chelsea can buy a player, they fail to hold down a place in the team and play quite poorly, and then are able to sell them for a massive profit? It feels like a scam. Also frustrating that Chelsea, West Ham, Liverpool, Man City seem perfectly happy to sell to Arsenal but not to us. Madueke was one of ours too - born in Barnet, with us from 11-16, then left for PSV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Henry famously challenged Arsenal and Suarez representatives to go to court if they wanted to after Arsenal met the release clause for Suarez.

Sibierski Posted July 5, 2025 Share Posted July 5, 2025 Now at Birmingham 1 year later, after a short 6 month stint at Rennes. Cost them £10m, so assume Birmingham paying close to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted July 5, 2025 Share Posted July 5, 2025 I never actually understood that Suarez bid @rgk_lfc, didn’t they actually meet the release clause? From my impeccable knowledge based on triggering many a clause on FM, what actually was the issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my impeccable knowledge based on triggering many a clause on FM, what actually was the issue? Suarez had a release clause of 40 million applicable to CL clubs. That amount of 40 million was supposed to be confidential. Suarez's agent leaked that amount. Arsenal bid 1 pound over 40 million. John Henry turned down that bid with a tweet "What do you think they are smoking over at the Emirates?". He told Suarez's entourage and Arsenal that he was ready to meet them in court. Few years later, in an interview, he admitted that he would have probably lost if they had gone to court. It was the last week of July that we received the bid from Arsenal. Henry was confident that if they went to court, the issue would not have been resolved in time and would have disrupted Arsenal's season. He also knew Arsenal wasn't exactly Suarez's dream move. So he took a chance. I believe that within a week, Suarez signed a new contract with that clause removed. If Arsenal had bid £ 42 or £ 45 million, I believe we would have accepted the bid. I also strongly believe Arsenal would have won the PL with Suarez. It was that extra 1 pound bid which pissed him off.

So what I meant to ask is why couldn’t he actually meet with Arsenal? Not that he’d have wanted too like.

Suarez could meet with Arsenal and have his wages negotiated. Henry refused to acknowledge the bid. LFC said we will not agree to the transfer paperwork and we are ready to meet you in court.

Sure I remember Coventry buying John Hartson for £5,000,001 just to make him a record signing or some bollocks like that.
