Luis Suarez

[Rex Banner]

Nice of Ryan to point this out at the age of 37. He's only had 20 years to mention it like.

I knew anyway, his old man was a rugby league player.

Rory Smith backing the chancer comments from totalfootball or whatever he is.

I don't want to argue about whether or not he's black tbh I'm not saying he isn't I wouldn't want to say either way tbh today is the first I'm hearing about him being 'mixed race' or whatever.

 

Oh and I was only joking about with the Sicilian stuff Barzini got what I was talking about.

It's not news. I remember reading something similar about 10 years back and it surprised me then that he was "part eggplant".

 

As for Suarez (the topic of the thread title no less), what we have to consider is that the contract and wages will be a similar amount to the transfer fee, so you're looking at a total investment of near enough £40m over a 4-5 year period. Of course we're going to try and whittle the transfer fee down, especially when it's being reported that the player is keen to move and the club need to sell.

Liverpool vangt bot bij Ajax over Suarez - AJAX - PAROOL

 

Dutch reporting that Comolli returning empty handed.

 

"A delegation from Liverpool who was with Ajax in Amsterdam on a transfer of Luis Suarez to negotiate, this morning returned to England empty-handed.

The delegates from both clubs, including Ajax's general director Rik van den Boog and Damien Comolli, technical director of Liverpool, spoke each morning at Schiphol.There is an unbridgeable gap between the provisional amount of his Ajax striker wants to receive - the club has reportedly deployed at 35 million euros."

 

From RAWK sorry.

[silverlining]

Mongislander's been in shocking form on this thread.

[JaminKibbler]

Ridiculous this is taking so long. I'm beginning to get seriously annoyed by the lack of forward thinking from the club.

 

Keeping Babel and Jovo, who both should be out of here, and barely making a stamp on the transfer market.

 

The squad is piss poor and needs vital re-investment that doesn't appear to be coming. Come on NESV, put your hand in your pocket and get Suarez or atleast some back up for a thin squad on ridiculous amounts of money.

[Evil_Ways]

So suddently Ajax wants €35 million ?

Im sorry but im not buying it.

We've been negotiating this thing for over a week, surely we must have been getting close in terms of valuation, why the fuck else would we send people over there ?

 

So, we send people over there to supposedly finalise the deal, and out of the blue Ajax demands €35 million, biggest piss take in the history of negotiating it'd be.

my opinion that article looks utter shit. Why would Comolli fly over if we were still miles apart on the fee, a fee which seems to of risen by 10m Euros in a week I might add. Also I thought that Comolli was flying over either late last night or early this morning, surely he wouldn't fly over for a meeting he knew wasn't going to be successful and one that would only last a short time.

 

I call shenanigans.

Well Kenny just said that Babel is staying so it could be that the deal has broken down.

 

Yossi15 is such a bullshitter...

Or Babel was never part of the deal?

[Redzion]

Good he was shite anyway next

[18-5]

Or Babel was never part of the deal?

 

Could be.

 

But why would that News source report that Comolli returned empty handed?

 

If we are still negotiating or if we have agreed the deal why would they lie?

[seven of eleven]

IS this the liverpool way to bullshit rumours ? Piss every one off who wants to know real info.

 

Kenny and Owners have done a media blackout and no one will know for sure if its a deal or no deal so chillaxe , We will get someone and we just have to trust kenny and board that its the right player.

[Wee-bey]

If we are still negotiating or if we have agreed the deal why would they lie?

 

Because they are the media.

[rileyred]

Could be.

It's 11.54 and he's returned empty handed already? What time was the meeting - 6am?

[Josef Svejk]

Well, could it be that Ajax have seen how much English clubs have paid for Dzeko (admittedly Man City) and Bent (the might of Aston Villa), and think that Suarez merits a decent fee?

Also was he ment to have Suarez in his hand bag ? I meen come on it smells of complete BS don't get worked up over it its bollox. :wow:

[captainharris]

It's an hour later over there.

[JaminKibbler]

I think you're right, Suarez is easily as good as if not better than those 2, they know we're rich so they're taking the piss with the fee.

 

Although, I don't agree with the article. How long was the meeting, 5 minutes?

 

They would have only got to Ajax in the last hour or so, so that's going to be bullshit.

[Gym Beglin]

Kenny is obviously playing silly buggers re Babel.

Until they sell us Suarez, Babel is staying and is our player. I think that's the way to read it, we're not going to give them Babel early and continue haggling. And until we reach a point where we get what we want, and that point may never happen, then Babel will remain ours.

But it's a wee bit odd considering we accepted the Hoffenheim bid.

Mind you, Hoffenhein have still not agreed the sale of Ba, which was presumably why they were interested in Babel in the first place.

 

Clusterfuck.

Are we rich?

[Evil_Ways]

If we were 10 - 15 million apart.

Why in the hell would we bother flying out there ?

It makes no sense at all...

 

What would our thinking have been ?

 

"hm we best fly over there, there's no way they'll dare to still ask for 35 million then, the cunts" ?

According to Sky they have

Not posting artical as it the suarez thread.

 

Agrree with what your saying though is Kenny might be playing hardball to get a deal done, or the deal is totaly off. who knows.

[Trucker Paddy]

Was there journalists present at this meeting? I doubt Cammoli said anything? Has a meeting taken place yet?

Just saying like
