Luis Suárez

[Sarb]

if suarez really wanted to stay he would come out and publicly state he isnt interested in a move and he will be staying. after our support of him with his little 'issues' it would be the least we should expect...

i reckon his agent is trying to see who will bite [ouch] so suarez is sitting quietly in the background to see how things go.

im ****ed off with this. the owners/ayre should get him to go on tv and make a statement of commitment to LFC and lets move on.

if he isnt willing to do this then by all means get him sold, but start the bidding at 60m.

Agree with this totally. Don't want to come across too harshly on him as he's always given 100% and is a top, top quality player. But it's not difficult for him to come out and say "I'll be playing for LFC next season". Some info, is that the club have sat down with him twice in the last couple of weeks and he has refused to say whether he is staying or whether he wants out. Could conclude he is waiting to see his options

I read somewhere that he has or will have missed 22 games through suspension since his last red card (August 2010). Can say what we like about the FA, his Evra offence we could argue the toss, he was harshly treated or whatever. However, flicking the bird to Fulham, biting Ivanovic, going back to Uruguay when Rodgers had backed him in face of fierce questions over his diving, and his saying he dived to win the game v Stoke, a lot of his issues are self-inflicted.

Even then, the fans, managers and players have backed him 110%. I'll see it as a slap in the face if he decides to move on. For me, he owes us another season, sod this 'he is too good for us' crap

He's said that loads of times.

April 21st. "I'll be here next season, yes," Suarez told The Times.

Does he have to do it everytime theres an internet rumour about him?

sod this 'he is too good for us' crap

Owen* thought he was too good for us and look how that turned out.




*I wont mention Macca and Torres because they went on to win the European Cup

[baitman]

He's on holiday before you go into complete meltdown.

im not melting

it needs to be tidied up so we can either hold on to our best asset, or cash in and improve the quality of the rest of the team.
this might make a massive difference on the standard of the replacements we target, and might make the difference between top 6 [still 30 points adrift] or actually getting closer actually making a realistic challenge.

[Neil Young]

Maybe so but that's not how the world works.

You'd make a great politician. Selective use of facts

It’s ridiculous.

And do people honestly believe it makes a difference? Madrid offer £50m, club accept, no need to worry though Luis said he’s staying.

Or maybe he's staying which explains why the club isn't responding to speculation?

yeh, maybe

i can fully understand he doesnt need to come out and 'update' his statement each time there is speculation, but suarez has changed the pass and move mantra to 'bite and move'

rodgers has said every player has his price, so maybe he is rubbing his hands at the thought of having close to 100m available.
suarez 60m, sales 20m, from owners 20m.

del.

If all the speculation is to be believed, then all I have to say is this:

It might be unrealistic and therefore moot, but I just wish that Suarez would give us another season so we know our chances of pushing on are high. Obviously, there are no guarantees in football (or anything in life), and him staying doesn't mean we'll do any better next season. The likelihood, however, is quite high, as opposed to the almost certain stagnation we will encounter if he leaves. I understand that he is in the prime of his career and that it would be much more cushy and nice living in Spain, competing for top honours with a team like Real Madrid, but isn't there just as much honour in helping a former great back to its best? Honestly, I ask myself that sometimes: if all of these footballers were retired and I were reading about their careers, I would respect the ones who stayed with an "average" team in spite of their world-class talent and helped it go on to achieve bigger and better things more than the ones who ****ed off to "better" teams and perhaps achieved success, but were less important to their team in the process.

Yes, I'm aware, there are holes in this logic. It just doesn't hold up, given the way football works and how players/agents/etc think. And obviously I have a deep personal bias, but I never lived during Liverpool's greatest years and I still think it's one of the biggest clubs on the planet. If Real Madrid comes in and tables a bid, offers Suarez higher wages and a starting berth in a title-challenging, Champions League-competing team, then for all intents and purposes, he will go. But there is so much more than material value for him in staying at Liverpool. I can't be objective, but I think I would think this regardless of my sporting loyalties (unless I were a Madrid fan... a Madridista *gag*), if I were him and I were lying on my death bed, I would be a lot more content with having stayed at Liverpool in the 2013/14 season and helping them qualify for the Champions League again than going to a money-flushed, cuntish Spanish team before I had the chance.

Again there is obviously nothing guaranteeing that we would qualify for the Champions League even if he stayed sooo this argument is probably incoherent but whatever! I just wanted to get it off my chest.

I don't think there's much more honor involved in football anymore and although I agree with you that LFC currently looks like a promising project, he might also prefer playing in a country where he's not hated by 95% of the population

[Mostar]

Didn't he always say he dreamed of a move to Barca? . Obviously Barca is his first choice but if he realises that is not an option I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to join Real. I wouldn't blame him really.

I just hope if he does want to leave we get a huge fee and we get it early in the window so we've got time to "replace" him

Clearly playing for a top team, that will be competing for top honours in league and Europe, in Spanish speaking country with much better climate is not something he can simply ignore.

I don't want him to go but if he does we just need to make sure that we get what he is worth. Not a penny less.

PSG and Monaco could easily afford him and more than double his wages.

I cannot see either of those going after him.

Personally it will be Real Madrid or he stays one more season.

[kingfunk]

Don't think he is going anywhere myself.
