    I assumed that if we're playing fantasy football then I can remove his worst traits and assume he's sticking around for a while.

    From a pure footballing perspective, Suarez all day for me. He was a bawler like Costa but with 10x the skills and instincts.

      If we are playing actual fantasy football, FPL, Mo is the undisputed greatest of all time and wins hands down.

      He has already broken his own record points tally.

      If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

        Assists aren't the only metric I'd use when judging if someone makes players around them better btw. Xabi made everyone around him better and he got **** all assists. Lots of Salah's assists are just because he's played the ball sideways to someone 5 yds away. He's not making them better on these occasions, he's just literally the last person to touch the ball

        I get people love to hate Suarez. But don't kid yourselves. He's one of the best players ever to wear the shirt. It was short lived, but he was an animal, an absolute ****ing freak of a player.
        Considering your hatred for everything Barca, that's a pretty decent argument

          I don’t hate Suarez at all, and agree as a player he was phenomenal. Bet you won’t say the same about Salah!

          Salahs assists have been everything this season, defence splitting passes, outside of the foot crosses and passes, and the ones you cling on to for your narrative just don’t get why you are continually negatively briefing on a player having a standout season.

            Salah over Suarez every day of the week. Suarez was undoubtedly the more talented footballer but showed on more than one occasion that he was a complete ****wit, I was done with his clown antics by the time he left.

              Actually being feral is not an attribute I'd personally prize over anything else.
              Oh I don't know.

                If it's fantasy football we might as well have both.

                  No can do pal. You've only got 14m left in your budget. Suarez & Salah are both £12m and you need two strikers to complete your squad

                    Tbf Salah has spunked a fair bit of ****wittery this season with those post match contract comments.

                    He hasnt bitten anyone yet but also never scored a 4 goal haul of the like suarez did vs norwich and never would have done as he doesn't have the talent and nor has anyone who ever played in the PL.

                    To me he's the best striker of the past 15-20 years, anywhere. For me I could offset the negatives watching a player who every time he got the ball I expected him to do something significant. Literally every time.

                        Ramadan times used to be much longer a few years ago and he handled it well. Age catching up.
                        One tit for another.

                          Just Mo? I'm pretty sure there's a few muslims in the PSG team (assuming they're observing muslims).

                                Age is more likely. He's obviously still very effective in the pl, he's using his brain more, running less, taking a lot of pens and getting a lot of service, but on the biggest stage against the highest quantity opposition, he was overshadowed. Too slow and wasteful to impose himself on the game like days of yore.

                                I know it's a minority view, but 400k a week for 3 years would be mental.
