Luis Suárez

[Sarb]

Do they care if it doesn't work out? A 4 year deal at £120,000 a week and the money rolls in regardless. We'd all like to think we found a man who wanted to make us great again but it was never going to happen when that man felt he was above the rest of the team, and IMO that is a criticism that can be levelled at Luis.

Not sure he thought he was above the team. All I can say is he always gave 110% on the pitch and is/was a class player for us. But he's let us down quite a number of times due to ill-discipline. Can't always blame others for your own faults. That's what he needs to learn

Personally, I accepted that this was going to be his last season, so I'm not madly fussed about all of this coming out. (Well, apart from the whole players-not-honouring-agreements-that-they-willingly-signed etc etc, but that's a whole other argument). So if he goes, he goes, and he'll be getting a bollocking and thanks in equal measures.
Once one of the top continental sides express an interest, I don't think its unfair to say that top Latin players naturally gravitate towards such a move, both for cultural and sporting reasons, so its something that buying clubs are usually aware of when pursuing these players.
The flip-side of course is that the more Nothern European/British players are more attracted to remaining at home, once their ambitions are being realised - this has allowed us to hold onto such luminaries in the modern game such as Downing, Carroll etc

A fair bargain if ever there was one.

No point muddying the waters till the deal is done.

I hope he gives us next season to see where the team can go. With Sturridge likely to be slow starting the season following his knock we don't want to be gambling on two new forwards.

[Sarb]

Wants his 'loyalty' bonus. Not going to ask for a move but make it impossible for us to keep him. He should pay us a 'loyalty' bonus in my opinion

[Vermilion]

Imagine if every single transfer, by law, had to be kept secret.

Then the day after the window closes, all clubs have a big reveal.

Sadly Jim White was not there to deliver this in his trademark explosive style. As you say, we'll see, but I don't think he really has a reason to move. He's on good money, playing in a great league with a team that's noticeably progressed, especially with the addition of Phil Coutinho and is playing for, lets face it, the best club on the planet, the team that has backed him to the hilt through all the controversy. He's still young, if he wants to leave after next season there'll still be plenty of big name suitors to take him. Why not stick around and see what happens?

I'm really not so sure that he'll leave. He has two options the way I see it - Real and Bayern. If they don't come in for him he'll stay. And I don't think it's nailed on that either will make proper moves for him.

[DannyMan2006]

I believe Suarez will be happy enough to stay unless a massive club such as Real Madrid come in for him. Talk of possibly Atletico Madrid is crap.

Speaking for myself, I'd have been happy to let him go had he done his best by us. But after enforced bans I think he owes us another season and I'd be a bit pissed at him if he left.
