Luis Suarez: Stay or Go?

[Vermilion]

I'm not sure I care about selling him to Arsenal to be honest. We'll be a stronger team without him and they can worry about his baggage.

I'm not convinced that he'll fit in their system without pissing players like Walcott off.

Perhaps we should just tell Suarez that he can pay us £5m personally if Arsenal don't want to raise their bid and he wants to join them.

We've had a history of players that have become the sole focus of the team and Rodgers is changing this and so it makes losing Suarez a sensible option.

I'm vemeh...vehemne...vehehnemt... I'm really against selling him to them, as i think they have played a very dirty game, are guilty of insider dealings, and would like to see them and Suarez's advisors shown up for what they really are.

regardless of any gentlemans agreement! i don't think when we made that agreement if we did, that we included the option of Suarez and his advisors to inform potential buyers about it.

[RedAndWhite]

don't care anymore, the only reason he won't put in a transfer request is so he and his Agent won't lose any bonuses.

Hope it goes to PL then court and he loses.

To be honest if he doesn't put in a transfer request the club should just say he hasn't asked to leave, we do not want to sell him and as such will not listen to offers. Forces his hand entirely.


Oh and tell Arsenal to **** off.

Ayre out , RedAndWhite in. Simples.

I've defended him to the hilt, but we need to get shut now.
£45m, plus a transfer request & he can go wherever he wants.
For me, I don't see selling him to Arsenal as us strengthening them. Scoring goals isn't their problem. Bottling it is. If it was Reina, or Agger they were after, then I wouldn't consider it. But I don't think Suarez will suit their style of play.

[Big-Red-Ed]

It's all very well harping on about his market value and not selling to a rival and to an extent I agree. However, the longer the bag of ****e stays the more poisonous the atmosphere will become. I am also not keen on paying him big wages whilst on his ban, let some other fools pay them.

Not if he is not allowed anywhere near the squad.

For all we know, the club may have dropped him from the tour as he may have already been damaging morale by being there. The made up injury could be a club fabrication rather than a Suarez one. It's a convenient excuse either way.

[Mello]

Under no circumstances should he be sold to any PL team.

And I fear if he leaves, any chance for 4th is gone. We'll be back here with Coutinho next year or any other player that steps up and we'll be stuck in a continual cycle of not good enough. So I say keep him. We have to put our foot down at some point.

[Camble]

I think we'd be better off without him.

We can try to rebuild our reputation.
We can concentrate on our games rather than the focus being on what Suarez might do.
The team can really focus on being a team.

Yes he's a fantastic player and I wouldn't argue that for a second, but there's been a lot of times where we've been on the break and he's broken down the move and I'd wished for that moment that Coutinho/Henderson has been on the ball to keep it going.

[Buzzo]

He should go.

Pointless keeping him. It would be best for the club if we can find a buyer from overseas (I guess only the Spanish or Bayern could afford him).

[Tee]

As far as I am concerned he is gone. Dead man walking and all that. I just hope to God he does not end up at Arsenal. Him leaving + Arsenal missing out on him would actually make this a decent enough window for me.

[JohnDoe]

Sell him, but outside of England.

[Neil Young]

The club are going to have him executed.

Think you're nit-picking to be honest - how many other times have you been glad the ball did go to him? This outweighs the other occasions as you mentioned.

On another note, I have defended him all the way through this, but if he goes now I'm really not bothered. The way he has played the victim in all this is what really gets to me. Liverpool has been a brilliant move for him, and has helped him make a name for himself throughout Europe as well as the fans being nothing short of brilliant with him.

[Norbs]

Oh dear, it's got messy hasn't it

Knew it ages ago, said from the start that players who don't want to be here can **** off, no exclusions. Couldn't care where he went but just hope we get to re-invest. We had a lad in our youth team who was the most skillful player in the squad. Every ****ing game though he'd mouth off at the rest of the lads, pick fights, abuse opponents and was so greedy that we were nullified when he played. Hated having him around despite acknowledging that he was better than anything else we had. I feel the same about Suarez. He's an arrogant selfish tosser. [Edit - Camble makes a similar point about attacking play breaking down ]

A while back I said that Suarez's value was too high a percentage of our total squad. Eggs in baskets and all that. Comolli has a point that Suarez is too big for us, however hard it is to admit. It's not necessarily a bad thing though to want to spread the value of your squad a bit more. 3 x astute £15m buys and we'll be a far better unit without the big head bringing morale down and looking down on his team mates.

As Tee said, he's dead to me as it was obvious long ago he was all but gone. I never liked him to be honest and if there becomes a Suarez at Arsenal thread then it'll never reach the levels of hurt that the Torres one did.
