Luis Suárez

[Sarb]

Does he have split personalities or something?

They made weed legal in Uruguay didn't they? Seems to be smoking something for sure

[kingfunk]

Not sure where they have got this from....

This post makes me me picture him doing the moonwalk!

[Vermilion]

Not sure where they have got this from....

That's from the MARCA interview i think.

[el matador]

Would really be a slap in the face if the owners if we allowed to sign for Arsenal. I think he knows it will not happen, hence this interview with Marca to try and raise his profile there and send a plea to Madrid.

why dont we look to do a deal with atletico for costa plus 30m for suarez. theyve still got the falcao money burning a hole in their pockets. if he's desperate to go and real dont want him then he can go to atletico.

imo suarez would be the perfect fit for them.

Does he have split personalities or something?

It's not necessarily inconsistent. Let's say he's genuine when he says he isn't desperate to leave LFC. And let's take him at his word that he wants (and perhaps even is desperate) to play in the Champions League.

I realise they seem inconsistent from the outside - and in practice one negates the other - but I can see how they might not feel like it. One statement is about his feelings about still playing for LFC. The other is about his desire to play somewhere else. He's talking about different things.

Of course he might be two-faced. But what seems a contradiction to one person might not seem like it to someone else.

Starting to realise he's probably screwed and edging his bets.

Suarez invites Marca to his house for Liverpool whining, worry for Arsenal fans as Madrid desire repeated.

Posted by SPORT WITNESS on August 8, 2013 at 6:45 in Sport Witness

It wasn't enough for Luis Suarez to contact English newspapers and offer interviews to them, even though he must have known those words would get around the world in no time, Suarez wanted more. Today Marca have a two page spread after the Liverpool player after he invited them to his Merseyside home so he could open his heart and let it bleed about the torment he's going through. Again.

The interview is pretty similar to what Suarez said to the English newspapers but that he's been so blatant and invited Marca to his house shows even more cheek than he's managed to already, and Liverpool should be able to get some extra out of a transfer fee by hitting the player with a series of fines.

Suarez says that he isn't desperate to leave but that he made things clear with the club a year ago and he just wants them to stick to that, going on to say "We had an offer from a Champions League team, I raised the situation with my agent and they said we had a new coach, the club were a good bet to get into Europe and I renewed the contract with a new clause: if we didn't enter the Champions League, I could go if they got an offer in excess of £40m."

The Uruguay international isn't giving up on that clause, he's also not giving up on Real Madrid interest. Suarez admits that he's had no contact from the Spanish club but yet again says that he could never turn the club down. Giving an interview to Marca is probably purely to throw one last rope to Real Madrid in the hope that they'll catch it.

"Any player always aspires to the highest level and Real Madrid are among the best clubs there is in the world. It would be very difficult to say no to Madrid."

Suarez then refused to say which club he dreams of playing for and says that is private between him and his family. He praises the Liverpool fans for the reception he got at Anfield recently, but reckons that's because he's worked so hard to please them.

"The people of Liverpool are amazing. I am very grateful for all their love. I feel it is an honor and is proof that I am doing my job well."

The footballer didn't sound too gushing when asked if he's joining Arsenal and said that he'll join a team in the Champions League who match his buy-out clause, as he sees it, because he'd feel that they valued him.

A positive note for Arsenal fans would be that when asked which league he thought was the better, he said "The Premier League is the best for everything: for the stadiums, the fans, for how football is lived... It's one step ahead."

Suarez was pressed on whether he'll go as far as handing a transfer request in and suggested that he wouldn't "I'm defending the colours of Liverpool and will continue to do until the last minute. My idea is to reach an agreement amicably and that the clauses are met which we agreed a year ago. For now, they are not fulfilling it."

Despite speaking to English and Spanish media, calling his club liars, outlining his wish to leave repeatedly, Suarez doesn't appear keen to hand in a transfer request. Lovely chap.

[Mattimetal]

As I said last night, if it pans out how I suspect it might, if he doesn't get his move, he'll get bored and by the end of his ban he'll be itching to play again. If he wants to play, he will play as he always does. He's had a rebuke, he'd have to apologise but if he plays for us again there's no way he'd play and not try. This stuff is all posturing, all trying to get the move. If he plays for LFC again he'll play the same way he's always played. Sulking in training before the window closes is absolutely not the same thing as pulling on the shirt and not trying in a game.

The problem though is he'll be useless to us in those games, as we all know if he refuses to put in the hard yards in training he's not just gonna suddenly switch his form from labored to world class.
Bottom line: You have to train as hard as you play

Haha now the tool is driving out of melwood singing, laughing and playing the drums on his steering wheel!!

Jamie Carragher: Time to get tough with unacceptable Luis Suarez
Last Updated: August 8, 2013 12:50pm

Jamie Carragher says Luis Suarez's behaviour is unacceptable and Brendan Rodgers is right to lay down the law with his problem striker.

Sky Sports understands that the Uruguayan, a subject of two failed bids from Arsenal, has been told to train on his own away from the first team after going public with claims that the club agreed to let him leave this summer.

Carragher visited the club's Melwood training ground last week and sensed that Suarez, who is banned for the first six game of the season, was not showing an acceptable level of commitment.

And he backed the idea that Rodgers should jettison his star player until he improves his attitude.

Carragher told Sky Sports News: "I know Luis and I've played with him in the last couple of years and he's a warrior. He's a fighter on the pitch and every day in training. He never misses a session.

"I went in to Friday training before Stevie's testimonial and that wasn't the Luis Suarez I knew. I think it's right for Brendan Rodgers to take him out of the group because no one player is bigger than the team or the squad.

"He's not going to be playing because he's banned, so Liverpool need to concentrate on getting it right for the first game of the season against Stoke.

"If Suarez is a distraction for everyone then he needs to be taken out of the group."

Accept

Carragher, who will be a pundit on Sky Sports this season, played alongside Suarez for the last two years and says Liverpool can't afford to sell him to Arsenal.

He says Rodgers cannot let his top striker join a top-four rival and admits he'd have a few harsh words for his former team-mate if he was still in the dressing room.

"Sort yourself. You can't have that and can't accept that," he added.

"There's ways and means of going about it. Players get transferred all the time and you can't always have what you want.

"Liverpool Football Club have got to protect themselves as well. Arsenal are a big rival for a top-four place and maybe if he wanted to go somewhere else it wouldn't be such a big issue and maybe Liverpool would sanction a deal.

"Nobody wants unhappy players at the training ground or on the pitch playing. It affects other people.

"But it's very difficult for Liverpool, like the Wayne Rooney situation with Manchester United and Chelsea. They're direct rivals and that's the big deal. That's the problem."

Carry on

Carragher also says Suarez's public statements have damaged his reputation and may put off potential suitors.

He added: "He can't carry on the way he's been carrying on. Brendan Rodgers has come out and said that nobody is bigger than the club and that's exactly right.

"There will be agents and probably people at Arsenal talking to him, but he's a grown man. He's not a kid, he's got a family and he needs to make his own decisions and what's right for him.

"It's also how he's coming across as a person to the Liverpool public and the country in general.

"Of course Arsenal want to get the player, but sometimes you've got to remember how people are seeing the situation and how people are looking at you."

I think as soon as the transfer window shuts, if he is still here, we will see the real Suarez.

We will. The window will have closed. He'll have had several weeks to accept his fate and cool off. He'll be desperate to play again. He'll be back to normal in no time.

That won't stop this all re-surfacing in the January transfer window though
