In July 2013, when Arsenal were pursuing Luis Suarez, how different would things have been had they made Liverpool a proper offer?" he told the Daily Mail. "Wenger and Arsenal were under the impression, remember, that a bid of more than £40 million would take Suarez away from Liverpool but they took that to the extreme. By putting just £1 above the fee they thought would trigger a deal, it ensured business would never get done. "If you look back at Wenger’s 20 years in English football, there are so many highlights, but that day in July 2013, with the bid that enraged Liverpool, cannot be ignored. Not signing Suarez is the biggest mistake of Wenger’s reign." The former Liverpool defender played with Suarez during his final years at the club, and knowing the South American's ability first-hand, the 38-year-old figured a higher offer would have captured the player and secured Premier League triumph for the north London side. "Had Arsenal pushed the boundaries for Suarez, perhaps with an offer of £50m, I believe they would have won the Barclays Premier League in two of the last three seasons," he added."That’s the thing about Suarez: whichever team he plays for, he drags them to a higher level."</blockquote>
