Thanjk you.

IF someone bids for him and IF he wants to go, we are in a strong position to ask for good money, provided we clinch the CL. But it's not certain he even wants to go. I think we might be the club to be at for attacking players, looks like it's fun to play for the club and Rodgers will back and support his players all the time.

His interviews are hilarious... i was waiting for Gerrard to laugh yesterday as i have no doubts he.. like the interviewers & me had absolutely no idea what Suarez was saying
An incredible set of quotes have been released by Liverpool owner John W Henry this weekend regarding the story of how Arsenal tried to trigger Luis Suarez’s buyout clause for £40m and one pound.
Liverpool’s owner made the comments at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference on Saturday.
Talking about Arsenal’s bid for Luis Suarez in the summer of 2013, John Henry has now admitted that Arsenal DID meet the Uruyuagan’s buyout clause however Liverpool refused to let the player go regardless.
Rather than live up to the terms of the agreement in Suarez’s contract, the American owner decided he’d rather play hardball and force the Gunners to take Liverpool to court in the Suarez transfer saga.
John W Henry made the following eye-popping remarks:
Luis Suarez is the top scorer in the English Premier League, which is arguably the top soccer league in the world. He had a buyout clause of £40m. Arsenal, one of our prime rivals – this year we’re tied for 2nd … we’re actually 2nd because of goal difference.
They offered £40m+£1. What we’ve found … is that contracts don’t seem to mean a lot in England – actually, in world football. It doesn’t matter how long a player’s contract is, he can decide he’s leaving.
We sold a player, Fernando Torres, for £50m, that we did not want to sell, we were forced to. Since apparently these contracts don’t seem to hold, we took the position that we’re just not selling.
It’s been great for Luis, it’s been great for us, and what will happen at the end of the year I think we’re going to make the Champions League, we have a small chance of winning the Premier League this year.
We have 3 gentlemen up front Suarez/Sterling/Sturridge, [they] are young, I think Luis and those 3 could be together for a long time.
He wants to compete at the highest level, simple as that. We have to show we are capable of that. At the moment we are. If we finish top 4 and then Henry gets the cheque book out, no doubt in my mind that Luis stays. If either of those two things don't happen, of course he could go.
He will stay. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind. He loves playing for us, our set up suits him perfectly, he's playing incredible football and scoring and creating goals on a weekly basis, we'll be in the CL, might even be champions. Why on earth would he leave?
Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’
If he goes away and has a good World Cup with Uruguay after the season he's having with us I can see a number of clubs coming after him in a big way. I think he wants to go to Madrid if he leaves but hopefully after the Bale deal they simply won't be able to do a deal now and with us in the CL he decides to stay but I won't be surprised to see maybe PSG go after him maybe even more unlikely moves like City&Chelsea.
