Inevitable but I'm still gutted.

Statement from Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez today issued the following statement to the club's official website, Liverpoolfc.com.

"It is with a heavy heart that I leave Liverpool for a new life and new challenges in Spain. Both me and my family have fallen in love with this club and with the city.

"But most of all I have fallen in love with the incredible fans. You have always supported me and we, as a family, will never forget it, we will always be Liverpool supporters.

"I hope you can all understand why I have made this decision. This club did all they could to get me to stay, but playing and living in Spain, where my wife's family live, is a lifelong dream and ambition. I believe now the timing is right.

"I wish Brendan Rodgers and the team well for the future. The club is in great hands and I'm sure will be successful again next season.

"I am very proud I have played my part in helping to return Liverpool to the elite of the Premier League and in particular back into the Champions League.

"Thank you again for some great moments and memories. You'll Never Walk Alone."

LFC statement: Rodgers on Suarez

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers today issued the below statement following the announcement that an agreement has been reached with Barcelona for Luis Suarez to leave the club.

"Luis is a very special talent and I thank him for the role he has played in the team in the past two years, during my time at Liverpool.

"I think he would be the first to accept he has improved as a player over that period, along with the team and has benefited from being here, as we have benefited from him.

"The club have done all they can over a sustained period of time to try to keep Luis at Liverpool. It is with great reluctance and following lengthy discussions we have eventually agreed to his wishes to move to Spain for new experiences and challenges. We wish him and his young family well; we will always consider them to be friends.

"We are focused on the future, as we strive to continue with the progress we have made and build on last season's excellent Barclays Premier League campaign.

"I am confident we will improve the team further and will be stronger for this coming season, when we will be competing on all fronts; domestically and in the greatest club competition in the world, the Champions League.

"If there is one thing the history of this great club teaches us, it is that Liverpool FC is bigger than any individual. I hope our supporters continue to dream and believe that we are moving forward and with continued improvement and progression, together we will bring the success we all crave and deserve."

Great player for us........hard separation etc etc, got us to the CL etc etc, agent worked wonders with his contract renewal etc etc

All in all......move on, remember the good times if you want to, but I'm delighted that it's been done this early.
Most important thing is how we act with the money now.

Same here mate.

It's going to be a long time before we see a player like Luis at LFC. Yeah he'll be replaced - I'm sure we'll find someone to replace his goals. But as a player he's so unique, unrivalled in many aspects of his game.

[Fredo]

Love you Luis

Not bad.........obviously the usual sentiments from footballer exits, but I would like to think he did enjoy his time here despite the bull**** he largely created himself. Some nice memories, some frustration around what this might do to our upward trend, but I'm relieved it's over.
Dignified exit apart from the **** caused last month.

[Camble]

It was always going to happen, so I'm glad it's getting done early in the window.

[ronanm]

Oh well. Onwards AND upwards!

[knockers]

Gutted, Loved Luis. At least the controversy that surrounds him will also go.
The King is dead, long live the King. When we sold Torres we got Suarez. Let's hope we get in a worthy player for Suarez and that famous #7.

[Alex]

Anything related to Luis going forward that doesnt concern the club should be in a new thread in the football forum.

[Vermilion]

He's left us with some great memories.

I particularly remember his dive infront of Moyes with much fondness!
