Arsene Wenger compares Luis Suarez snub to getting blanked by a woman

“We have to get on with our lives,” reflected the downcast Frenchman.

ARSENAL MANAGER ARSENE WENGER says his pursuit of Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is like chatting up a member of the opposite sex, but admits he is braced for disappointment.

The London club have had two bids for the Uruguay international rejected and Suarez has now been linked with a move to Real Madrid, but Wenger says he will not feel too downhearted if that happens.

“That can happen. You’ve certainly tried to go out with a girl, but find she has chosen someone else. You don’t commit suicide,” he said.

“I don’t want to speak in detail about what has happened. One day, why not? But now it’s not the moment to talk about that. I just said it’s over. We have to get on with our lives.”

Wenger was speaking ahead of his side’s trip to Fulham in the Premier League today. The Gunners have been linked to moves for Real Madrid duo Karim Benzema and Angel di Maria while they currently have former midfielder Mathieu Flamini training with the senior side as he awaits a transfer from AC Milan.
