Arsene Wenger has come out and defended the club he manages, Arsenal fc after Liverpoool captain Steven Gerrard had claimed Luis Suarez was too good for the North London club.
The Gunners had tried to buy Luis Suarez last Season but due to misunderstanding in the strikers release clause in his contract, the deal would have passed.
Suarez then went on and scored 31 goals for Liverpool despite losing the first 6 games due to suspension.
Suarez this summer moved to Barcelona for a club record transfer fee and Gerrard revealed he had told Suarez how good he was.
He said: ‘Don’t go to Arsenal’,” the Liverpool captain told several British newspapers on Thursday. “With all due respect to them, I said to him that he was too good for Arsenal.”
Wenger yesterday came out and said no one player is too good for Arsenal, he said: “You’re never too good for Arsenal and Steven Gerrard knows that,” “But I can understand completely that he asked him to stay because he wanted him (Suarez) to play with him and have a chance to win the Premier League.
But it didn’t happen, and anyway, Suarez left.”
Wenger also talked about the club is still looking for more targets with 30 days left in the transfer window, and the Vermalaen issue.
He said Vermalaen is still in the club and any new information will pass on to the media.
