Luis Suárez

[saj]

Over the last season?

I wasn't referring to last season

[Exiled_red]

I doubt he has

I checked it out, he came 12th in 2004, ahead of Figo, Zidane, Kaka, Eto'o and Ibrahimovic

[RedReet]

I honestly thought even before then that he'd regularly be challenging for such honours.

[pondus]

What a **** list of candidates.

Eric Abidal?
Miroslav Klose?????? He managed to get 1 league goal last season - it must've been one hell of a goal for him to be on that list

Klose has scored at an excellent rate at international level, that'll be why he is there.

So has Milan Baros - but he's never been on that list

He was very klose though

[Roboklopp]

If you really must inilsist on making such ****e puns, at least do it properly- "He couldn't have been Klose" is slightly more forgivable. Slightly.

This guy is a little frickin genius.

I know it's all a bit pointless and I really don't want to start the same old debates, but I would have loved to have seen him in Rafa's team that came so close to the title in 2009. Replace Keane with the Suarez of today and we would have won that league I have no doubt.

[The Joker]

he's very similar to the way dalglish played football

He may have been a bit raw at that time but I am also confident he would have given us the edge to win it.

[Darkon]

I just have a wish that he either Carroll comes up to speed, or that we find a solid strike partner for him. Bellamy is showing promise as a partner, and if we can find that Suarez will be simply fantastic.

Completely agree.

I'm worried about him getting suspended or picking up an injury. We'd be ****ed without him.

****ing ridiculous footballer

the space and chances he makes are just silly - the turns and changes of direction from nothing are just mental - he's just sheer class.

he does one thing so so well, and it largely goes unnoticed at times but it's a massive part of why he so good - he reads the direction and pace of the ball so quick and gets his body inbetween man and ball, back in slightly to the defender, and just lets the ball run across him - defenders ****ed, its either foul or suarez is away, and even when they try and foul him, he's so strong and got such good balance he's away anyway - impossible to defend against

[Reece]

Or the foul him and the ref ignores it.

[Tee]

Could have gone down for a pen yesterday but stayed on his feet. I am sure that will go unnoticed by refs.

Prick on the bbc pissed me off last night stoke fans booing him and it was something like "there are 2 sides to Suarez"

He also has things in his game he can improve on too, and if he does...he'll be as good as anyone out there.
