Luis Suárez

[Sarb]

Didn't Ayre specifically say in that interview the other day that Suarez had NOT mentioned his desire to leave to him?

Edit: I can't find that quote so perhaps I imagined it

Maybe you did. I thought I read something that we were hoping to convince him to stay

[Fredo]

He is. His ban is applicable even if he leaves the country and goes to Madrid for example

I'm not so sure about that. Have you got any factual information about that?

We could be here a while.

FIFA rules on the application of player bans, where they move to a new club, clearly state that any sanctions would be transferred with a player to any new league.

The ruling means the 10 match ban given to Liverpool striker Luis Suarez would still apply if he was sold to another club in the summer.

The Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players Article 12, Enforcement of disciplinary suspensions, states:

“Any disciplinary suspension imposed on a player prior to a transfer must be enforced or applied by the new association at which the player is registered. The former association is obliged to notify the new association of any sanction in writing and upon issuing the ITC [International Transfer Certifcate].

Factual enough for you Nigey?

Ah, cheers, but there's no link in there, could have been made up that ****.

[RedReet]

I stand corrected.

Nah. Didn't have to wait long.

Clue would have been the various articles stating that Madrid would wait until end of Aug to make a move so that Suarez uses most of 6 game ban here and they don't have to pay him for not playing

I actually did read that and was going to question it at the time.

Just thought if you were checking back through your catalogue of Suarez posts, evidence might have taken a bit longer to find.

[RedReet]

I'm still not convinced it's applicable though.

Wasn't he banned when he joined us from Ajax and couldn't play until he'd completed the ban?

Most of my posts in this thread were kissing his arse all season.

I thought so too.

He played 2 days after signing.

His Dutch bite was in November so he would have served his 7 by the start of Feb
