Just a thought. Didn't Arsenal try to buy Suarez a couple of years ago where they bid £1 over £40 mill to trigger a clause? Don't recall them getting to speak to Suarez let alone buy him? Redscouse held on to him & got nearly double when they sold. Should we do the same? They got £30+ mill more than what Sterling was actually worth so why shouldn't we hold out for more?

Suarez didn't have a 40m buy out clause Arsenal just thought he had.

{Ed002's Note - It was not a "buy out" clause but there was a release clause that Arsenal invoked. Suarez threatened legal action over the matter.}

If CB stays another season, does the business for Villa, smashes it at Euros, there's still a £32.5 mill release clause next summer then? With 1 year left on his contract in those circumstances we wouldn't lose out because everyone would want him. If he was really wanted by other clubs then he would be gone by now, wonder how he feels about that? Redscouse have bought Firmino who I'd never even heard of for £29 mill which is a punt, CB is a proven prem goalscorer in a team that wouldn't create half the chances of his supposed suitors, find it very odd????
