Luis Suárez

[Vermilion]

Just watched his goal compilation again!

Whatever happens, i'm glad he played for us and entertained us as he has.

As gloomy as it sounds; we may never see his like in a Red shirt again.

That doesn't mean we can't be very successful without him though.

My feeling is that Suarez is the stubborn sort and any apology was always going to be thus. Not sure anything should be read into it other than that he can be a graceless **** at times (which I'm pretty certain we all knew already).

Exactly, gritted teeth and all that.
At least he's consistent and that's what you want from a professional

All this speculation that they are engineering a move is just pure bollocks.

prove it...

Sell. For the right price.

Keep. If Barca plead poverty. ******s.

Doesnt feel as hard as Torres. Probably because I promised myself Id never love another like that.....

Liverpool FC are bracing themselves for an opening bid from Barcelona for Luis Suarez following the striker’s belated apology for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.

After six days of protesting his innocence , the disgraced Uruguayan finally admitted his guilt via a statement on social media networks.

The long overdue show of remorse followed reports in Spain that Barcelona had informed Suarez’s advisers that he needed to issue a public apology prior to them tabling an offer.

Anfield officials insist there has still been no approach from the Spanish giants but they expect the Catalans to make their move imminently.

Barcelona haven’t been put off by Suarez’s four-month suspension from all football and believe they can use his record ban - coupled with his determination to join them - to secure his services at a knockdown price.

However, Liverpool, who haven’t been informed by either Suarez or his advisers that he’s seeking a transfer, have no intention of selling him on the cheap.

There is a release clause in the lucrative contract Suarez penned last December, which is understood to be around £70million to £80million, and the Reds are adamant unless that is met he will be going nowhere.

The ECHO understands Liverpool played no role in Suarez’s apology and were given no prior warning that it was being issued.

Despite his latest shameful disciplinary episode, which has given the Reds a major headache ahead of the new campaign, Suarez made no mention of his club.

There was an apology to Chiellini and the “entire football family” but no show of regret for the implications of his behaviour on Liverpool, despite the fact they have repeatedly stood by him in the wake of his string of indiscretions

Suarez had previously denied sinking his teeth into the Italy international, saying he had simply lost balance and collided with Chiellini’s shoulder, but he changed his tune with a statement on Twitter and Facebook.

It read: “After several days of being home with my family, I have had the opportunity to regain my calm and reflect about the reality of what occurred during the Italy-Uruguay match on 24 June 2014.

“Independent from the fallout and the contradicting declarations that have surfaced during these past days, all of which have been without the intention of interfering with the good performance of my national team, the truth is that my colleague Giorgio Chiellini suffered the physical result of a bite in the collision he suffered with me.

“For this: I deeply regret what occurred. I apologise to Giorgio Chiellini and the entire football family; I vow to the public that there will never again be another incident like (this).”

Chiellini responded to Suarez’s apology via Twitter as he said: “It’s all forgotten. I hope FIFA will reduce your suspension.”

Suarez didn’t state whether he still intends to appeal against the length of the ban. His statement was issued independently of the Uruguayan FA - fuelling talk that it’s simply an attempt to engineer a move to Barcelona.

Suarez’s comments are certainly at odds with the confrontational nature of Uruguay’s response to the incident. Uruguayan FA president Wilmar Valdez, coach Oscar Tabarez and skipper Diego Lugano all defended him.

Keegan = King Kenny

Rush = Barnes & Beardsley

Torres = Suarez

Suarez = Lambert

The big number 5 for Algeria looks well tasty.

Edit: Just checked wiki, he is ****ing gash.

I think that the problem with Suarez is that he probably believes whatever those around him at the time tell him. In Uruguay he when people tell him he is being victimised he believes it when people told him the best thing for his career was to go to Arsenal he believed that. At the moment he is probably surrounded by people telling him to go to Barca. What we need to do is get him back to Liverpool and surround him with people who will tell him how great LFC is and what we can achieve next season.

someone needs to tweet suarez and remind him he named his daughter after OUR stadium. if he leaves then when she is old enough she will slap his goofy rat face.

Let's do a quick translation...

eloquently put, Sir.

I think he was badly advised by Uruguay on his first statement in the hope that he might escape a ban - now that ship has sailed his latest statement is a reflection on him now being advised on easing his passage to Barca.

In the process he has made himself and Uruguay look pretty stupid. I will miss his skills but not the **** storm that seems to be constantly in his wake.

My take - Suarez is a dick, but as I don't view footballers as bastions of morality, I don't really care.

I'd rather we had a team full of Premier League winning paragons of virtue, and I'd rather Suarez didn't shake his tail feathers at other teams every ****ing summer; but should he stay, he doesn't know how to be anything but super*******brilliant, so as long as he doesn't bite anybody else or do another racism and therefore be banned, again, I'd quite like to see him playing for us next season
