Luis Suarez: The little magician

[Major Tom]

Top level games. Have you never seen players deliberately stamp or elbow?

Well, I've seen plenty of players stamp and elbow.

[xerxes]

Rrright. Well, I see it every weekend.

Unlike you to get sucked into hyperbole NV.I think that the instances of one player seeking to deliberately injure another player are, thankfully, rare.

 

Self interest dictates that.

Got to agree on all counts there. Surprised by NV's stance on this!

Well, obviously I don't think it's hyperbolic. I think there are obvious efforts to hurt players every week. Multiple incidents of it.

[Major Tom]

If they wanted to actually injure them, they would. It wouldn't be difficult. Players stamp and elbow all the time, but these very rarely lead to injuries. Serious injuries, anyway.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing Luis at the WC. He'll light it up.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Yes, they don't take guns onto the field, if that's what you thought I meant. What they do do is deliberately aim to hurt other players, just because they're not blatant about it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It's not just stamps and elbows either, although they are obvious examples of what I'm saying.

[Major Tom]

Yes, they don't take guns onto the field, if that's what you thought I meant.

Yes, that's exactly what I thought you meant. I'm pleased we've cleared that up.

seems tomorrows press reckon contract negotiations will commence shortly

 

if he commits long term we're fucking going places!

And possibly he also gets the chance to add a triggered get out clause into his contract.

There is a difference between being muscular, and aiming to injure another player.

 

The modern footballer is so fit that if the aim was to injure opponents every week, hardly a game would be finished.

[s(k)aturation]

Perhaps Uncle Woy could just get Sturridge to do a number on Suarez in Liverpool training.

 

You know, another test of his resolve.

It would take a special type if moron to mix up deliberate elbows to the face, two footed lunges, flying studs to the leg, and stamps on the back with being muscular. I'm hoping you don't have me pegged as one. At least not that much if one!

[fowler9]

and if we agree to it, its fully clarified by all parties and is for good fee and is only based on if we're not doing well enough, fair fucks in my opinion

First law of holes is when you are in one, stop digging.

[s(k)aturation]

The one bit of business you have to take your hat off to the club for, is the utter resolve to not sell him in the summer (admittedly, it was helped by no one other than Arsenal biting, so to speak).

 

He could sell for 80m now, if someone really wanted him that badly.

A great profit.

As long as it's not spent on players who don't make the first team, that is.

[Coro]

Sexrex and the Major seem to have forgotten the Mirallas challenge on Suarez.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

This. Not just the press, either. I suspect a number of defenders will be looking to take him out.

Maybe the england captain in training.

If I'm digging a hole, it's to bury somebody in.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Sexrex and the Major seem to have forgotten the Mirallas challenge on Suarez.

 

And players stamping on his back against (I think) WBA last season. And the other challenges that go on week in and week out, where elbows and studs fly all over the place.

[Jairzinho]

Sexrex and the Major seem to have forgotten the Mirallas challenge on Suarez.

 

No. That was because Mirallas has big muscles.

[boots123]

Some of the pundits creaming themselves over Luis, makes a nice change.

the media who wanted him out of the country, are beginning to see he's a footballing genius and the most newsworthy of all players, but wait, there's more to come, as Al Jolson said, you aint seen nothin' yet.

Do you say this to people in real life?

Hang on, Kev, I thought this was real life?

[Jairzinho]

He's the Ron Burgundy of his cellar.

After you've deliberately killed them in a game of football?
