Suarez: Sell or Keep?

[JermainePennant]

Newspaper reports suggest that Luis Suarez has agreed personal terms with Real Madrid. If this is true, then Madrid are in breach of the rules. Then again Pratini will probably let them away with it.

 

However, I don't believe a word of it. Liverpool are digging their heels in, they've said, Luis Suarez is not for sale, we've not had any bids nor are we willing to entertain any.

 

It's up to Luis Suarez to hand in a written transfer request thus forfeiting a loyalty bonus. He looks bad in the eyes of the fans for a short spell. However he won't be treated like Michael Owen because he's said he would never ever play for Manchester United.

 

Is it not very common that teams agree terms with a player before they bid? I know its not supposed to happen but every club does it and I'd wager we have done it this summer.

No, its clearly a breach when the player agrees anything with another club before negotiations are agreed between the two clubs, even if just in principle.

 

Its not unknown for a new club to 'agree' deals with a players agent before the clubs agree. I think this goes on a lot and it might just be semantics but at least the deal isnt officially agreed with the player.

 

Marca or whoever the paper reporting this may have got it wrong but if they are correct, I think the club will harden its stance on Suarez from now on.

[Markmywords]

I want him gone now, he's annoying me and he'll prove to be a disctraction if he stays around whining.

[jsims]

Did you watch, y'know, any erm Liverpool games last year?

 

Yep

 

Brilliant at times, mostly greedy all other times.

 

I've been saying he should be sold for months and nothing has changed my mind.

Well, that plays right into Madrid's hands, and is pretty much their MO. Rodgers needs to convince Suarez that we are right for him for at least another season. Or Madrid have to stump up a whole lotta cash.

My cat knows more about football than you, jsims.

Actually, I think we need to be very clever now and look to sell on our terms and our price while appearing to be reluctant to sell.

 

By the end of next season, he'll only have 2 years left on his contract (if Im correct). His transfer value will be lower as a result.

 

He's given 120% on the pitch for us but, Im not now convinced he'll do that next season if he doesnt get this move.

So you'd sell him because of his ability, not disciplinary misdemeanours, ability?

23 league goals in 33 games. What currently resides in the space where you previously kept your brain?

[Ranxerox]

sounds more like journos trying to fill the vacuum created since Suarez stopped giving interviews.

[The Acolyte]

Wasn't this report by RM newspaper.

If so, its bullshit.

 

Can anyone see Saurez doing something nutty just so we lose patience and flog him.

I can.

It would be stupid and the ban would include all leagues, not just the PL but I don't think Luis has the sense to compute this at all.

[Tony Moanero]

I can see him not reporting for pre-season training.

[WhiskeyJar]

Suarez wants to win trophies and become a legendary footballer.

 

I think he can be persuaded to stay for one more season.

He is nuts but I worry if our fans would back him should he stay.

[cole7]

With isco gone to Madrid Modric may be surplus.

 

Mkhitaryan. Modric. Coutinho

 

Sturridge

[fowler9]

of the good players who we probably wouldn't be able to get but worth a cheeky ask Modric is probably the last I'd go for

 

would try if we failed in getting Alonso, Ozil,Benzema,Higuain,Khedira though

[cole7]

Think Modric is absolute quality still a good age too, he couldn't get game time last season and will get even less now but would probably want a CL team

My eyes

 

Remove your brain and replace it with my eyes

 

He is greedy and selfish and thats why he scores goals. Most strikers are, so its no stick to beat him with.

 

But we can revamp our squad by selling him and move forward and not rely on one guy to be greedy and score all the goals.

 

It's a no brainer.

 

I'm not mezmorized by flashes of brilliance when most of the time they are followed with our team members running with there arms wide open when he has tried yet another nutmeg instead of rolling them the ball for an easy shooting chance.

 

Or when he constantly tries to dribble around 5 players and ends up with the ball in the side net instead of just fucking passing the ball to a guy with his arms wide open on the edge of the area or 6 yard box.

 

The pro and con's of Luis Suarez can be talked about for years, the reality is we need cash to build a squad. We have spent decades relying on 1 or 2 top players and its got us nowhere. Sell him, buy 3 top players and move forward...

 

Or we could just wank at the spectacular goals and be happy we have a "magician" and build our team around 1 player....thats worked well for us.

I would pick that all apart but instead I'll summarise. You're an idiot.

Yawn

 

Another cunt who doesnt have any insight or knowledge about what we require

 

Another man who still buys match magazine and has Suarez posters on his bedroom wall

 

He is just a good player, playing in a shit league against shit defenders. When he goes to spain he wont look half as good and wont score nearly as many goals

 

Sell him and we can buy other good players, who arent as greedy and don't cause as much shit off the pitch, and still score goals.

 

WE as a CLUB will move FORWARD

 

But no

 

Its all about Suarez and how amazing he is and how there is no life after him and we are fucked without him bla bla fucking bla

 

If your unaware of whats happening in front of your own eyes then i can't help.

[JermainePennant]

I don't agree he's a bad as your saying but do agree he should be sold.Get the right price and use the money wisely and we come out stronger then if we had kept him.

 

Excellent point about the building a team around a player, how long have we been saying this and it never works out.Fuck that shit I want a team of top players and I'd trust Brendan with money to get in a couple of good players.

[Bobby Hundreds]

"Remove your brain and replace it with my eyes" that's a hell of a sentence.

I think we'd all rather just remove your eyes so that you can't see your keyboard.

I dont hink he is a bad player, in fact i think he is the 2nd best individual player in the world (behind ronaldo) He is brilliant at times and a joy to watch.

 

But i find him really greedy, he doesnt see the easy passes that will help us score easy goals. This is because his mindset is "i can do it myself". Again thats fine, you need leaders but not to the detriment of our team and squad as a whole.

 

I think our own players are scared not to pass him the ball as they will just get verbals. So some of the younger guys or less experienced players take the easy option and just give him the ball whenever they can.

 

That is no way to develop and it just makes us heavily reliant on one player.....which we have treid with gerrard and torres. We need to get away from that shit.

 

If he tried to change i think he would become a worse player, his style/determination/passion are what makes him the player he is. Is he the type of player we need to progress though? I'm not so sure and 50 million big ones would easily help make up my mind.

 

The English league is shit, the national team tells us how shit it is and the fact players like suarez struggle to shine when up against top class players, is an indication of its standards.

 

We will have no trouble finding players to come here and do well, its a sign of the times and the quality of the league. We can build something brilliant with that money or we can keep wanking over flashes of brilliance.

[MLB]

I'm at the point now where I'm not that arsed either way, I just want a decision to be made.

Forgetting someone there lad? I can only assume you work for the taxman's union or something. :whistle:

That's some profound shit alright.
