Will Arsenal buy Rooney or Suarez?

Gooners: Form is temporary, Arsenal is permanent

Arsenal seem kind of lost in this transfer window.  In the past we haven’t had much money, so we have made investments in solid players with something to offer Arsenal. For example, players like Arteta and Cazorla have been really good signings for Arsenal, experienced midfielders who can provide direction for the younger guys in the team. 

But obviously what Arsenal is most well known for is the investment in youth players, not just from our academy, like Wilshere, but buying young players like Jenkinson and Oxlade-Chamberlain who are young but have serious future potential. I love this about Arsenal. I think our philosophy is brilliant and it is a great foundation for the club. We don't buy superstars. We make them.

Except this summer, there has been a serious plot twist. We have money. Money we can actually spend?! A decent bit of it to splash around?! Amazing! It's what fans have been begging for...for years now.

And yet we have a problem. Wenger doesn’t know how to invest in expensive players. It isn't his forte or specialty by any means. His strength lies in spotting talent, early, and building players up to reach their full potential.

So. Will Arsenal buy the big names of Wayne Rooney or Luis Suarez?

Rooney, in my opinion, is kind of past it. He has been a good player. As a person I think he is kind of a knob (same with Suarez), but there is no denying his talent. But he is not at his peak. I think he is passed his peak. Arsenal buying him would be a bad investment.

Suarez is a difficult one. He is horrible as a person, but a fantastic footballer. But I don’t think we will get him. Liverpool don’t want to part with him, and a 30 million pound offer is, to be honest, kind of embarrassing. It is a lot for Arsenal, but not enough for Liverpool.

Overall, I think we're looking in the wrong places with Rooney and Suarez. But where is the right place to be looking? I'm not an expert, but I know enough to realise when we're running towards a dead end.

This is finally a transfer season where fans could get what they want. But as time ticks on, it seems more and more like a fruitless summer transfer window for Arsenal and the gunners.

Let me know what you think, here or on twitter! Agreement, disagreement and "meh." are all welcome.
