Luis Suárez

[spider-neil]

Definitely the best player I've seen play for us. But it's time to move him on now.

[kev776]

Gerrard is the best player I have ever seen play for us.

[kev776]

I think he's one of the biggest dickheads to ever play for this club in all honesty. He's treating us like dirt again. I think he's caused us ten times the problems that any other player has ever caused us. He's a liar and a cheat and a psycho.

Yet I badly want him to stay

I think this is how most of us feel

In all seriousness though it's clearly time to say goodbye. Barcelona always get their man in the end, and they will here.

Would be nice to **** them off, a win for the little guy for a change

Without wanting to be melodramatic (I'm going to fail aren't I?) we can kiss a title challenge bye bye this season now. Without him we have no chance of that.

[spider-neil]

The good thinkgis he is banned for months (stadium ban as well?) meaning you wont get people on the forums and red tops playing armchair psychologist trying to decipher his every from frown as Barca make their move.

[kev776]

Somebody should just ask the rat if he is staying or going.

The 'apology' is so calculated it's not even funny. The day after Barca's advisors say they wont pursue him unless he issues one.
He wants to leave but that is only going to happen when Barca pay the release clause or include players that add up to the sum of the release clause.

[kev776]

The only semi concrete comment I have seen came from his Father in law about going and playing for Barca, this was probably so he will see more of his daughter and grand children and was wishful thinking.

Has anybody else seen anything remotely true, anything other than pure guesswork by bored Journos?

[EwarWoo]

He stayed for another season and we nearly won the league. I don't begrudge him his dream move, he's been great for us (apart from the hassle, but it made things interesting!).

**** that, we gave him everything he asked for, he owes us 1 more. He's a cunt.

But I think he'll stay anyways, Barca wont pay full price.

You may be bang on the nail and it is as obvious as the nose on our faces, it could be as cynical as it looks with the apology etc, but it could also be the thing that makes FSG dig the heels in, he signed a new contract last summer and will ****ing honour it etc etc.

[captainfog]

It's all in barca's hands. If they want him and are prepared to pay enough then he'll go. I don't think any of us can second guess their intentions.

I disagree, the cards are all in our hands. We decide his future and we will not be bullied.

[PTP]

if he does go barca it'll be interesting to see how he gets on with Messi

i'm half tempted to find out what the odds are for Suarez to bite Messi and stick a fiver on it haha

[captainfog]

He clearly didn't want to apologise, but we probably told him to, barca probably told him too and its also the best way to reduce his ban.

He's done what everyone wanted. Let's just move on. All the name calling is a bit ridiculous. Did anyone only really expect him not to hawk himself around Europe's top clubs this summer? It was as inevitable as the sun rising every day.

You're right, apart from one pretty major ingredient in this saga. Time.

Say Barca flog Sanchez to someone else and drag the Suarez transfer out until deadline day, getting replacements in will be almost impossible. Until they meet the valuation, this saga will not end. It could drag into the next window even.

If he's going, get shot as soon as possible so that the club can move on and plan for next season rather than having this cloud overshadowing everything.

Out of our hands if the release clause is meet and unlike last season I think there will be no ambiguity in the contract this time.
Big loss but we have to ensure we spend wisely and don't bring in a sea of players like Spurs.

[EwarWoo]

If there is this supposed buy out clause how do they work? Is there a time limit or can they **** us over and trigger it on the last day of the window?
