Poll of the Day: Have Arsenal shown a lack of class in their pursuit of Suarez?

The Gunners are keen to add the unsettled striker to their ranks in a bid to contend for the Premier League title, but have they crossed the line as they chase the Uruguayan?

The protracted transfer saga involving Liverpool, Arsenal and Luis Suarez has been stepped up a notch following Brendan Rodgers' suggestion that the Gunners have lacked class in their pursuit.

Having had a bid rejected for the unsettled Uruguayan striker, Arsenal made an unsuccessful bid of £40,000,001 in an attempt to trigger a release clause in the 26-year-old's contract.

But, despite Rodgers' assessment of the summer-long saga, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has rejected the Northern Irishman's complaints and defended his club's stance.

The Gunners are keen to add to their squad having only recruited Yaya Sanogo so far this summer after missing out on signing former Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain - who opted to join Napoli - with Rodgers determined to keep Suarez at Anfield.

Have Arsenal acted without class during their chase of Suarez? Or are they within their rights to pursue their No.1 transfer target by any means?
