Luis Suarez - Non LFC

[DannyMan2006]

It's funny isn't it, don't remember so many people disbelieving Luis when he still played for us!

Think it's fair to say that because he was one of us we defended him regardless of how indefensible he was.

I think since the racism incident we've seen enough quotes from Suarez that were outright rubbish to maybe have a rethink as to who was right & wrong with regards the Evra case.

It certainly gets more difficult to defend him with every incident that goes off. Do I think that's the last we'll hear of with regards Luis & controversy? No way. You'd be a fool to back him. He's a loose cannon. And next time he ****s up he'll be in the doldrums for a long, long time.

I was gutted we sold him. But it'd be a major gamble either way to sign / not sign due to him being a flawed genius. As for Cantona comparisons, not sure what they have to do with each other?

Maradona's not the best example of a non-cunt Tee

Exactly. Luis did stupid things in the heat of the moment. Maradona was a drug cheat. No comparison.

They'd found he'd told a big porky-pie to them right there in the hearing, they're entitled to make what they want out of that.

One thing is for sure, if Suarez had been playing for Chelsea everyone would be calling him a big racist cunt, and that's the sad thing about this.

I think they went far beyond what they could say with any reasonable certainty.

Definitely agree with your second para though!

Both with an insatiable winning appetite. And genius with the ball at their feet. Both labelled cheats and mercilessly criticised by the gutter press in this country. Common denominators Danny.

Loads did

Let's offer them £50m in the summer. There seems to be massive upheaval at Barca at the minute and the Suarez transfer is meant to be one of the factors.

He was never going to be the main man at Barca which is why it's not really working out for him.

As Dom pointed out Barcelona are unable to buy or sell any players till 2016 so you could offer what you like for him he still wouldn't come

Pretty sure they can sell, but if they can't replace him then I doubt they would.

[RoadEnd]

I couldn't care less if he shagged a granny like Rooney or nicked a toilet seat like Glen Johnson - I'd love to see his genius in a Liverpool shirt again.

Shame it isn't going to happen ever.

Maradona was a cheat. At a time when this country didn't have so many. He was also a drug user both for performance and recreational use. He was not a professional. Luis, for all his faults lives his life like a monk away from the game. Nothing like him at all IMO.

Loads did

About 5% did if I was to give it a figure. Which is a lot of people granted. Just much less than those that backed him. Now I'd say 30% moan at him. In other words, much more IMO.

Who was talking about off the pitch?

linked with arsenal today

[McDermotX]

Didn't make sense the first time..........still doesn't.

[Tee]

No chance. He will not be back in this country anytime soon (unless its a CL game for Barca)

Who was talking about off the pitch?

I was telling you why Diego wasn't loved. And for me, off the pitch is just as important as on the pitch. It's about the whole package, particularly these days, less so in his time I guess.
