Was that Chelsea champions league winners, regular semi finalists, FA cup winners, twice league winners in the past 5/6 years, one of the highest payers in the league who are buying up a heap of young and exciting talent?
Just a little bit of difference between them and Liverpool.

I'm saying that the opportunity to play with Gerrard and Suarez wouldn't convince any player to change his mind and join Liverpool.

That's another conversation, don't underestimate the pull and reputation of Liverpool, fair enough they are not competing at the moment but the name and support across europe is still in evidence

Rubbish Josep Guardiola stated he didn't want to let him go but Yaya wanted to go to Manchester city
Guardiola was playing the game, one to raise the price we would have to pay two to be diplomatic to a player who had given Barca great service. He had already made it perfectly clear that he was going to play Busquets or Mascherano in front of Yaya. Do you really think if that wasn't the case he would have left them?

Sorry mate i think you may have not understood what was going on in the debate, i was putting a spin on the calibre of players at any choice of club, the debate was around Liverpool and Arsenal, the players mentioned were Adam and Henderson. No matter what you say Gerrard and Suarez are fine footballers. I could have mentioned Chamakh and Djourou, but didn't, or the fact they have not won a trophy for 7 years, or the fact that for the last 2 years have been selling the world class players on there books. Its all opinion, nothing more. Like i said lets see what unfolds and as long as it doesn't affect City it will be very interesting.

No, I understand what you are saying. I just don't agree that Suarez and Gerrard are the calibre of players that would attract anyone to a club.
You could have mentioned Chamakh and Djorou but they aren't close to the Arsenal first XI. Adam and Henderson are the sort of players a prospective signing would be looking to play alongside.
