    Make all the right noises, discipline internally, support externally and then sell for anything over £40m.
    With the projected FSG spend it will take us 2-3 years to revamp the squad and by that time Gerrard will be finished so we'll have to replace him as well.
    Suarez has got 30 goals and we're finishing 6th/7th and out of all the cups early.

    Get players lined up before the selling clubs realise we have extra cash to spend so the prices are realistic.
    Transfer budget of £25m add in Suarez at £40m and player sales of approx £30m (Carroll, Downing, Skrtel, Coates, whoever)

    That's £95-100m to reshape the squad in 1-2 windows as opposed to 2-3 years going at our current rate.
    £70m or so on 5 players, £25-30m towards the cost of the wages.

    1 star player less, much stronger squad with proper, established, experienced cover across all positions.

    The last time in yonks we didn't have a world class centre forward was 05+06, before that we had Owen/Fowler, after that we had Torres and now Suarez.
    We won the CL and FA Cup because the sum of the team was more important than 1 star player.
    After 2001 and apart from those 2 seasons (so with star striker/s) we won a Carling Cup.
    ...tempting when you put forward a business case like that. Without 'over-engineering it' if it works out like that, I wouldn't be too gutted over losing Suarez. We need to rebuild and strengthen the squad...undoubtedly... but we also need to make sure that Liverpool Football Club is not forever tainted by an increasing catalogue of incidents like this and the Evra one. The inability to deal with it swiftly and succinctly likely contributed to Kenny losing his job last season so Brendan, Ian Ayre and FSG have to get this one right this time.

      It's disgraceful what he did.

      However, oddly, when I saw the replay I became confused and sort of liked him even more when he did it!

        They will be discussing Suarez on The Wright Stuff on Channel 5 after the break

        Hard hitting stuff including Joe Mangel on the panel.
        Thanks very much for being

            I cant stop laughing when I see it, it's bad but just so weirdly random. The game was still going on aswell, the ball was going out to our best crosser Steven Gerrard and he just turns away and starts with Ivanovic. Mental!

                Great stuff from the club and Luis. Cracking cause aswell. That'll help the HFSG no end.

                      Sounds like a great gesture but the PFA, Suarez should bite their arm off for the chance.

                            ...if he holds the same stance after the MacManaman tackle:

                            Sky Reporter: "So Suarez? You've seen it - how bad was that bite on Ivanovic?"
                            Dave Whelan: "I've seen it, yes. I don't think there was any malice in it from the boy. In Uruguay I've heard it's commonplace to mark a competitor's shirt so everyone knows its yours at the end of the game when they swap. Suarez was obviously just saying 'Hey Bran, can I have your shirt later?'... Nothing in it at all. Ridiculous."

                              Anyone who thinks we should sell him is nuts imo.

                              We'd be a lot lower in the league if it were not for him this season.

                              Who would you replace him with. What player of his caliber would join a 7th place team who are not in Europe?

                              Imagine if Utd or City came in for him. It's be great to do an Arsenal and strengthen any potenttial rivals.
