5. He'll Miss First 6 Games Of The Season
Following his
10-match-ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic toward the end of Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Anfield on April 21, Suarez will not play in the Premier League again until October. Should he join Arsenal, he will miss the club's first six games which take in a crunch North London derby against Tottenham as well as games against Aston Villa, Fulham, Sunderland, Stoke and Swansea. He would be back in time for, given the potential outcome of the deal, a mouth-watering encounter with his former club in November, but he will still have missed a fair proportion of Arsenal's opening to the campaign. The Gunners would have essentially paid in excess of £50 million to have one of the world's most expensive bench-warmers on their books. What sort of an investment is that?
