Luis Suárez

[Sarb]

I agree MrM. Of course people are entitled to their opinions, but for some (not accusing anyone in particular on this forum) it seems par for the course to criticise and doubt the club and even now some are sticking up for Suarez.

One of the main gripes, like you say is with this so-called gentleman's agreement, he was coming off a suspension for racism (not getting into whether it was right or wrong) plus another suspension for giving the bird to Fulham fans. As part of this new contract his wages were close to doubled (may even have exceeded it). The club were well within their rights to sack him off for his antics. I'm not sure who he is to rock into a contract negotiations and demand he be allowed to leave if we don't make the CL. He wasn't on very firm ground as it was.

In Jan/Feb and even April he said he was going to stay this coming season and it wasn't an issue not being in the CL. He goes home, gives an interview about how he took a picture in Manchester and his wife told him that they were doing biting gestures, how it was the Press' fault and he wanted to leave the country because of it. He flirted with Real Madrid for a couple of weeks and then when they didn't come calling, all of a sudden he didn't have an issue with the press, it was all about being in the CL now (which wasn't an issue a few months prior). He goes even further, by pulling out of a friendly and then going to the papers who allegedly made his life a misery

Everything he has done since the Ivanovic incident has been aimed at reducing his value. He knows his clause isn't worth the paper it's written on. Arsenal can carry on coming out with "We aren't increasing our bid past £40,000,001". They won't get him at that price and Suarez knows it. He wanted out so badly, he could have done all this weeks ago. Then he has the audacity to say if we don't grant his wish, he'll hand in a transfer request by the end of the week. He feels he deserves a loyalty bonus?

He is a compulsive bull**** artist. And I feel for people who still actually believe the stuff he comes out with and came out with yesterday. He looks to get his way out of clubs at reduced values and it is all he is doing now.

Oh Wenger. I believe you've been told more than the player wants to leave given by the fact you bid £40m + £1. Fanny

btw i said ages and ages ago that Suarez would go this summer and that it would turn into a bitter war between the club and suarez.

i can't believe back then that so many thought Suarez was a 'better man' than torres - i don't remember torres threatening legal action and at least he went to a club that looked like winning things.

L. Suarez (Jan 31th, 2013): "If you want to know what will happen to me if we don't qualify for CL, then I will say this; I will stay." #LFC

I think it's time for you to sketch a formation with Suarez not in it

Let's see what positions we need to fill

...unfortunately we all know that means as little as 'we won't sell Suarez' from the club's perspective.

Harsh.

I hope that gets some real investigation. If there is a clause like that, how do arsenal know about? There is only one way... they have had contact with the players agent prior to any authorisation from Liverpool. I doubt Liverpool told Arsenal there was a clause.

So either his agent or Arsenal need reprimanding.

[Big-Red-Ed]

My big concern in replacing him is that there are not many great players available in forward positions at the moment never mind factoring in those who would actually come to us.

@ThoseScouseLads: Liverpool's stance this lunchtime is still unchanged. Luis Suarez is not for sale. (Sky Sports)

I think we should at least make some sort of statement in response to his interview. Something along the lines of 'Luis needs to learn to shut the fcuk up'

[PTP]

i'd suspect we'd see something like this - coutinho in the front three and allen or henderson given a chance

however i'd really be hoping we sign a striker to replace Suarcunt

---------------------mignolet--------------------

Johnson-----------skrtel----agger------------enrique

--------------------lucas-----gerrard-----------
----------------------henderson-----------

Aspas------------------Sturridge-------------Coutinho

back up

-----------------------Jones----------------------

kelly-------------wisdom-------toure----------????

-------------------Allen-------???
---------------------Alberto----------------

Sterling-------------Borini---------------Ibe


Not included downing as it appears we want rid of him as well

i'd say we still need -

Left back
Top replacement for Suarez
Centre mid

And i'd be happy - should be achievable imo, esp if we get £40m for Cuntez and we have any other funds (ie the £20m we had for Mkityaran)

only other move would be an upgrade on Skrtel but for me it's not a priority

[Carras_Shin_Pads]

That or Assaidi'ing him would be boss. He'll probably get his way eventually, they usually do I just hope we've got enough time to get people in, I do believe the players are out there.

Who you thinking?

Luis is a liverpool fc player and will remain so until the entirety of his contract

Or

Luis is an LFC player contracted until 2016. He will be playing against Celtic on the weekend contrary to what he thinks. He should take the next few days to have a word with himself
