    I don't think we'd be able to replace him, especially if we don't secure Champions League football
    Selling him would be majorly small time.
    Thanks very much for being

      Crazy. We need to build with him not without him. He's going nowhere.

        Ultimately I wouldn't but I'd feel like giving it all up if we caved in to this bull**** and sold him.

          To me it's not about caving in, it's about getting double what we paid for a good but quite ineffective striker. For that amount I firmly believe we could replace him with someone giving us more goals and still have money for a good midfielder.

            Football and not life I hope

            Its only a game And a depressingly **** one these days where supporters spend more time chatting about racism, handshakes and finance than they do about a players abilities.

            The game has been dragged down so low by the press it is hard to know where it goes from here.

            I hope Suarez stays, he plays his football with a swagger few can match.

              He's not quite ineffective though, he causes carnage pretty much everytime he's on the pitch, bar a bad spell where he was falsely tarred a racist by millions of people.

              We need to surround him with better players rather than blame him for our shortcomings. I've seen absolutely nothing in Aguero to suggest he's better than Suarez whether it's beating players, playmaking or finishing yet his stats piss all over Luis'. It helps having the likes of David Silva alongside you. He's still barely had a chance to play with Gerrard yet either! Get more quality around him and he'll score and create **** loads.

                  Am I right in thinking that Saturday was only the 2nd time they have started together?

                      Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have him here and we could do a lot worse as well. It's nice having someone to be able to do something out of the ordinary for once. But if we could get 50m for him, I think we would make a very good deal for ourselves.

                      And so far in his for us he has been fairly ineffective in front of goal. IIRC he have in his LFC time so far scored on about 7% of the shots he takes, in comparission Van Persie is at about 22% (although he is crazy good right now), Demba Ba is at about 30 %, Rooney 21% and Aguero who you compare him with is somewhere around 22%.

                      I think the main problem so far is that he have had to play the lone striker in to many games, and he is not the right type of player to do that. We have created plenty of chances this season, but have to lowest effectiveness in the league so far, and that is telling a lot about our strikers - not just Suarez.

                      Anyways in short; I think we could get a better team for 50m than we get in keeping Suarez as it currently stands.

                        All I can think of is Norwich, Man Utd 1-1, Man Utd 3-1, Man Utd FA Cup, West Ham away.

                          Thought he was banned for Man Utd FA cup, and Gerrard was injured for Norwich and Man Utd 3-1. He also didnt start against West Ham....I could be wrong though.

                            I hold him in nowhere near as high a regard as I did Torres. So yes, I would take the money. But only if we had a suitable replacement. I've learnt from the Torres / Carroll lesson.
                            Oh I don't know.

                              Yeah, was thinking saturday was a Cup game for some reason! Swap that with league game, theyve started 5 together. **** that.

                              Started v West Ham, started with Adam v Norwich and him, Suarez and Kuyt absolutely dominated them in the 3-1.
