Over the years we have given many players the chance to play for our great club. Some have excelled many have let us down..... But we provide them with the platform to come here and be loved and idolised. A chance to show the world what they have as a footballer, and be appreciated and respected for their efforts. We have brought in two strikers for around 20-25 million..... One was suffering a bad loss in form, had a poor world cup and was playing nowhere near his level. We took the gamble, and gave him one of the finest platforms in world football to showcase his skills.... And he did....and we both benefited. He might have fucked us over but we got 50 million for him, and he became the best striker in the world at one stage. Now we have given suarez the same chance, we took the risk....but gave him a much bigger platform and spot light than ajax or many other clubs can give him. He has excelled..we have both benefited. In my opinion he is in the top 5 players int he world right now. Again in my opinion, he would go for easily 50-60 million right now.... So would you cash in? I can hear you all swearing at me now.....but think about it.... We have taken two good players, given them a bigger platform, more coverage, more worldwide exposure....allowed them to play and showcase what they have, be loved and idolised...almost worshiped and they have QUICKLY gone on to become top players in world football. I think our club and who we are has allowed their stock to grow as fast as it has. We made them our main men, allow them to be greedy at times, and give them a freedom to play.....they and us, have reaped the rewards. Can we do it again? Have we got lucky twice? I think we, the fans, give such players freedom and love. We make them feel wanted and loved and that gives them confidence to show what they have......doesnt happen at other clubs really (think about real madrid, chelsea, man city, milan) at those clubs if you dont perform your out.....we dont put that pressure on such players and i think thats a big factor in why these kinda of players are doing so well here. I'm not sure if i would sell suarez as he gets me up of my seat, and thats pricless as a football fan.....but i also think we can find more of this type of player and make them excell and get even better because of the platform we provide as a football club.
