Luis Suárez

[Shaggy]

What is the record amount Bayern have ever paid for a player? Cannot see them spending that kind of money.

They paid about £40m for (the admittedly brilliant) Javi Martinez in the summer. A DM FFS! So with that in mind I wouldn't sell Suarez for anything less than £50m.

[Shaggy]

Well I wouldn't sell him at all, for any price, but you get my drift. I expect he'll want to leave if we're mired in mid-table still.

£40m?!! I always thought it was around £20m tops. Wow

[kingfunk]

£40m... That's funny.

Just looked it up - they met his buyout clause which was €40m. So what's that - £34m ish?

[Fredo]

How did Martinez fare at Bayern actually? Haven't heard of him too much. Is he playing?

Don't doubt you mate, just surprised they spent that amount. Was listening to a radio discussion about Pep the other day and one of the presenters was going on about how Bayern do not spend huge sums.

Whether intentional or not, Suarez has played a blinder here. On the surface it look like he's dropped a bollock and BR has roundly condemned him and add that he will be 'dealt with internally'.

On the flip side, if he contines to stay on his feet, he's just put the pressure on players like Bale, Nani etc. as everybody will now be on the radar.

Either he's a genius or another bumb footballer.

We're climbing the table and not that far behind 4th place. Plenty to fight for and the team is improving. I get the feeling Suarez wants to cement his name in the team that brought Liverpool back from the dark.

Bayern also spent about €30m on Mario Gomez and €22m on Neuer.

They're not afraid to spend money. Obviously we'd try and rebuff any offer for Suarez but if Guardiola identified him as his No.1 target I'm sure Bayern would have the cash to meet our valuation. Which I'd imagine would be similar to what we got for Torres.

[Frenchie]

Doesn't Suarez have a £40m buy out clause? I read it somewhere sorry no source...just pontificating out loud...

I am not so sure about that.

We are improving very slowly and it is doubtful if we will be able to make top 4 over next few years.

For Luis to be considered truly world class player he needs to play in CL and compete with the best and that is not the case at the moment.

There are tons of clubs who could afford his price tag and pay him way more than us and who's to say that he won't put the pressure to leave if they come for him.

Personally I think he may be gone this summer unless we make it into top 4 or we come so close that he get sense that we will be going places in a not so distant future.

Really? Sorry Mos have to disagree - I unfortunately think we've left it too late this year after our piss poor start but I can really see us pushing hard for it next year

[Vermilion]

Why do people at lfc have to talk openly about Suarez leaving mid season!

It's like pushing the door ajar, there you go mate, don't fret over it....if we don't make top 4 off you toddle, no hard feelings, no need to stay and fight with us, Champions league is where you belong. Bye.

Let the media talk about it amongst themselves! we know they will!

[RichC]

We're improving as the season has progressed which is good to see.
