Luis Suárez

[janpelt]

out of interest does anyone know the longest ban imposed by FIFA?

8 games. This will break that record (For a kick that broke some ribs)

[Fierce]

Not entirely sure a ludicrous Bale like fee is particularly likely, given that he regularly bites people

[Roboklopp]

I still love him too.

Me too.

On the field of play he does things nobody else would even think of doing and he dies them through instinct, that's what makes him special and unique. It's also what makes him do mental transgressions. Good with the bad. I still love him too. Wouldn't change him for the world.

as much i wanted him to stay - at the moment i'd defo take a Sanchez/£50m deal if it was on the table

You think that he's have a lot of takers if he has a 20 game suspension?

Still love him and hope the suspension will only be for internationals...

A long international ban actual makes him more valuable to a club side, he's totally focussed on them.

[red g]

yeah it's frustrating, because i'm the same try so hard to defend him and he does **** like this....

on a selfish level, i hope we keep him, cause he's world class and we'd struggle to replace him.

Plus - as i've mentioned, why should we be the club who takes the moral high ground - it's all agenda driven by rival fans who don't want him playing against them because he's so good....but everyone of them would take him right now in a heart beat......and whilst i don't condone it -

Everton fans - 95% that i know, there biggest hero is Duncan Ferguson, a proper thug and convicted criminal who did a lot worse a lot more regularly.

Man Utd fans -95% that i know, their biggest hero is Eric Cantona, kung fu kicked a fan in the stands.


So whilst i'm not using them to justify/defend/compare to Suarez - i didn't recall any of their fans calling for ferguson/cantona to be sacked

thats a great shout. also add in leeds fans support of scum like Bowyer.....As you say it takes some moral high ground for you to wish your best player to be sold and probably any chance of a shot of the title next season.

From what I understand its international football plus maybe CL

Oh the irony

[PTP]

that would be ****ing funny

[Shaggy]

Nah I wouldn't. Want him to stay and rip the league to shreds again.

[PTP]

don't get me wrong - that would be great - but you just know there is another incident in there somewhere, waiting to happen and when it does it'll will go off big time

Does actually call into question whether his previous biting incidents were premeditated in order to engineer a move away from those clubs.

Looks like it wasnt. He's just a nutter. He clearly loves playing for Uruguay and I doubt he'd do anything intentional to endanger that. It was a heat of the moment unconscious action.

What kinda worries me is the press reaction in Uruguay - they are just glossing over it saying he's being persecuted

[Norbs]

It's an instinctive reaction. He doesn't decide to do it out if idiocy. He needs help.

You think so? IMO he made a beeline for him from the edge of the area. He'd made up his mind to do it, did it from behind and without any reason (ie being held down) and it was a conscious decision
