I'd still have Rooney, Aguero, and RvP ahead of Suarez in the pecking order of top EPL strikers, but no others. |

No way I would have Rooney and RVP ahead of Suarez going forward. Based on past accomplishment, yes. But right now and going forward, Suarez is absolutely more valuable than those two players. |

To think Rooney may be cheaper to get. If it's old Rooney then yes he would be a good purchase. I tend to think when footballers start really young at top level they burn out quicker and think they may be the case with Rooney. |

My bet would be that a move to The Emirates would put some pep back into Rooney's step. |

I happen to think he'll be working under Mou than Wenger. Wages and players around him. |

My money would be on the same. The move to Chelsea would also likely re-energize Rooney. Either way, it would be quite interesting seeing him walk out onto the pitch at Old Trafford in an away kit. |

TransferMarkt puts Suarez at 40m book value. That takes into account all the positives he has on his side and none of the negatives. If you ask me 35 million is the actual value, give or take. The issue we are up against if we want him (and I don't) are: - his indiscipline will cost the team, meaning he has to get 25 goals - he isn't optimally suited to being the pinnacle of a 3 man attack Edited by santry_gooner, Jul 25 2013, 01:41 PM.

I'd still take RvP or Rooney over Suarez for the next two seasons. Beyond that, I agree with you. Obviously, a player's value differs from his quality, so maybe we're having two different arguments. Edited by cruyff_turn, Jul 25 2013, 01:30 PM.

Who is better than him in the Premier League? Van Persie, the same guy we sold for 25mil to our rivals Manchester United. I dont know how you came to the conclusion that Suarez is better than Van Persie, Last season they both scored 30 goals. If you want to argue that Van Persie played for Manchester United last year, well Van Persie scored 37 the year before for Arsenal and has scored 20 goals twice for Arsenal despite being injured a lot in his career. I can bet there is no way Suarez scores 37 goals next season where ever he ends up playing at. I am glad you brought up Aguerro who is a similar player to Suarez, in fact I would argue that Aguerro is a more skillful player. He scored 30 his first season at Man City and everybody paid attention to him and he couldnt replicate it scoring only 17 goals. I have a feeling that the same fate awaits Suarez this coming season, teams are going to be focused on how to stop him and I dont think he is unstoppable. As for the claim that we would win the league if we sign Suarez, if Van Persie had stayed at Arsenal last season, would we have won the league? We need at least 3-4 players to make this step to cover the 20 point gap we were between the eventual winners. If we waste 40 mil on Suarez, I wonder how much more improvement we can make with what we have left to spend. |

Phato, I gotta mention that Aguero's drop in goals probably has much more to do with the fact he missed a large chunk of the season through injury. However, I agree with you that, right now, Suarez is not better than RvP. |
