Luis Suárez

[Tee]

Not to mention that I've heard John Cross is roundly mocked in the office on his Suarez articles over the last few weeks due to them being blatant b*llocks. Even Rory Smith had a bit of a tiff with him around it

If that us the case the Sports Editor at that rag is a disgrace for letting these articles go to print.

To be fair they're a bit of a disgrace for letting that rag go to print at all

Journalists are supposed to do more than write up what they've been told verbatim I thought. Contextualising and critically assessing information?

Ah come on, the job of a tabloid journalist has always been to write articles which sell newspapers. The broadsheets are sadly becoming increasingly this way too.

He has a source, it is hot story, he is reporting what he has been informed.

A contradiction in part, yes. But I don't think they believe what they're writing is true though. It's their choice to write what Arsenal and Suarez's camp are saying. They could quite easily not write it, or write it in a non-biased view with an honest version of events.


There are many journalists rubbishing it and even stating that the case wouldn't be heard before the window. The timings of the articles (day of a home game) are obvious. All this stuff about a dream move... It's plainly obvious it's his only option

John Cross makes a habit of writing and saying stuff he knows is bullsh*t when it comes to Arsenal. He has no qualms about it either.

Not shooting the messenger. Just pointing out his ridiculous articles and comments

You have missed my point. See above for an explanation. And as for whether the tactic stands any chance of working is actually irrelevant.

Luis Suárez suffered a slight injury against Olympiakos and may miss #LFC's final friendlies depending on his fitness. (Guardian)

And so it begins...

And so it begins...

Hmmm....a bit like Rooney's succession of well-timed 'injuries' this summer.

It's been said before, but it's funny when we have a journo or article that we agree, they are seen as good journalists / articles. And those that we don't agree with are seen as terrible / dreadful / unprofessional / digraceful / vole.

What a ****ing joke he is

[spider-neil]

Really hope we dig in our heels and not sell for a penny less than 55m regardless of what antics Suarez gets up to. We've got **** all time to spend the money anyway.

Or maybe some just spot the b*ll****ter and slate him accordingly. Not all are as cynical or naive as suggested above.

Think most accept he wants to move on, pretty much every journalist, even in the local area has written it. They've even mentioned the legal stuff in their articles. But their articles are pretty much balanced. The ones by Ornstein, Cross and even Mokbel are rehashing the same basic story and talking about 'Dream Moves'. It so isn't his dream move. It's pretty condescending ****e really

Whatever you say.

Anyway, as i said yesterday, it will all kick off this week concerning Suarez, as the clock is ticking.

Naw, there's weeks to go yet.

[Sarb]

Naw, there's weeks to go yet.

It's upto the club how long it drags on for though I imagine. Won't be forced into accepting a bid on the last day of the window for example

[Vermilion]

Naw, there's weeks to go yet.

I reckon all parties involved will want this sorted sooner than the last days of the window, and i expect it to be done with one way or another by the end of next week.
