Luis Suárez

[Shaggy]

Aye. If Bale can fetch £80m, Suarez has to be worth £100m+.

[fah-q]

Whatever we sell him for (above £80m), I hope we add on a pound to really **** Arsenal off.

Aye. If Bale can fetch £80m, Suarez has to be worth £100m+.

A serious amount of the Bale value is in marketing. Suarez is much less of an asset in those regards. Barcelona and Bayern are highly unlikely to buy a player with that reputation, we wouldn't sell to City, United, Chelsea or Arsenal. Which means a market of one club - Real Madrid. Given that they have Bale and Ronaldo they would probably only be willing to pay a footballing value. I struggle to see how on that basis any player is worth these huge values.

correct !

i can't believe so many people are arsed about this really, who gives a **** - i'm not talking about on her - but i've heard it on the radio, seen it on news websites, sky sports, women in the office who don't watch football talking about it

seriously wtf - it's a nothing incident

[PTP]

Aye I think we should just enjoy him. If he stays, amazing, if he goes - to which he would be entitled - we get about £80m and we'll be ****ing loaded. £22.7m - what a bargain.

i was thinking about this the other night

i'd be quite happy if we qualify this year for champions league - and he's happy to stay and continue giving his all for the remainder of what, his 3 years that are left

we get the best out of him, and then he go on a free

I think Suarez is now so good, approaching Messi/Ronaldo level, that his marketability is now assured. Also I think Barca and Bayern would love to have him.

was about to to say the same. I'm sure their fans would sweep any of Suarez' previous under the carpet. He's just the best striker in the world now really. You'd have to be nuts to give it a miss.

Also, although he's done a few things in the past, he's not a day to day cunt like, let's say, Ibrahimovich.

If he continues this form we should consider doubling his contract - he puts in three times the effort as any other players so we'd still be good.

Luis Suarez has scored 27 goals in 25 games in the Premier League in year 2013. #LFC

Viktor Fagerström @ViktorFagerLFC
Luis Suarez has scored 40 goals in his last 44 Premier League games. That's the entire last season + this current one.

[Alex]

When was the last time we ever had a striker who scored 17 goals before Christmas. On course for 20 before 2014?

Its crazy numbers.

[Shaggy]

I think he's on course for 51 goals this season.

[RichC]

If he hits 51 goals we should be well within the top 4 come the end of the season.

For me if he can get 30 + this season I think that should genuinely take us to a top 4 finish

[Alex]

He will have to go some to beat Rush's record of 47 goals in a season though.

[RichC]

Be great to see him hit 61 and knock Dixie Dean off the top of the scoring charts

Regardless of this, it still puts us in a very strong position. Bale has set the benchmark and as a club we are well within our rights to ask for at least equal. Equally, Suarez will know he’s better than Bale you would hope will understand the clubs stance and maybe even for his own ego will hope for a record breaking fee.

Out of curiousity, what would you suggest his ‘football’ value is Dave when you take into consideration the recent fees of Cavani, Falcao, Hulk or even Zlatan?

I wonder how his record compares to the likes of Messi and Ronaldo for open play goals.
