Luis Suárez

The more the better if there isn't a minimum release......

If there is a clause, I'd rather it gets done and dusted so we can actually concentrate on our own ****...

Transfer window is not even officially open yet is it?

Very well put.

Just watched the interview then. Must admit it hurt a lot more actually seeing him talking about leaving so casually

[Daniel 7]

Liking the strong language from the club - long and short is, he signed a long term contract and he has already said that he will try his best while he is still at LFC - I don't think he could do anything else, he's a fighter.

If this is posturing from LFC in order to get a bigger fee, geddin! If its LFC laying down a "you will honour your contract" directive - geddin!

It is sunny outside

[Daffy Duck]

That would makes things very interesting

Toni Kroos and we're talking, otherwise **** off

Pray for Suarez

Real Madrid cracks down on Bernabéu-walkers
31-05-13
DOZENS of footballers have been spotted loitering around Real Madrid’s ground touting for business.

Spanish police have started naming and shaming the street-footballers to their clubs, and will now focus on agents with a large stable of ‘working boys’.

Sergeant Jorge Olazabal said: “We turn up in the morning and there’s discarded contracts all over the pavement, which parents then have to explain to their children.

“It’s disgusting – I speak to these players late at night and ask them if they have no shame but they just flutter their eyelids and ask if Florentino Pérez has mentioned them.”

Cleaners are working seven days a week to clear phone boxes of postcards offering ‘Quick winger action’ and ‘Watch Me Bang Them In’, with London and Liverpool phone numbers.

Although soliciting a transfer is against FIFA laws, many players still flout themselves in local radio interviews by saying they are ‘wide open to discussion and ready for some unhurried, deep, informal talks’.

Campaigners have suggested legalizing the trade, allowing footballers to set up business in regulated Transfer Parlours in districts away from schools or residential areas.

It has been suggested this would reduce the practice of trafficking teenagers from South America on the promise of life in a luxurious Barcelona only to find themselves working away in grimy Carlisle FC.

Olazabal said: “Maybe that is the answer, but ask yourself – would you want any son of yours parading around in a pair of tiny shorts for some dirty old billionaire chairman?”

Relevance?

Relevance?

Yeah.......shouldn't this be in the General Football thread

Or better yet, why hasn't this Luis Suarez thread been moved to General Football yet ? Preferably with some witty addition to the thread title to add ambiance to a part homage, part bile-filled repository of sour grapes.

Poor modsmanship

[spider-neil]

sounds like Bayern getting involved now

As long as there is no release clause this is good news.

[spanky]

Fair play to the club taking a firm stand, " not for sale but if you really want him then he'll cost you top dollor". Just hope they stick to their guns as this could drag all summer.

Get rid and buy the replacement before we start preseason. That gives us two months. Any longer then tell Suarez he's going nowhere because we wont have long to get a replacement and selling clubs will know were desparate. Waiting till the last minute saw us purchasing Carroll for 35m.

[Daniel 7]

They can take more time finding the Suarez replacement. He's a peak player on a long contract. Torres and Carroll was a different scenario altogether.
