He did come close to doing so and did actually want out.

Shhhh that didn't happen, Liverpool football club would not hold a player against his will by lying about a release clause ! Not a chance.
Yeah, but he didn't actually leave which is the point.
Why ?
I think you're in denial, Suarez has left Liverpool.
He was off, like a caged animal, had to chew his way out in the end.
I think Liverpool are made for him.
As we've seen with Suarez, misbehaving is well tolerated at that club and also I think the underdog mentality is made for him. At City he was in a team of superstars and there were high expectations.
Liverpool remind me of the mighty ducks (disney), all this hugging and kissing before / after a game, Mario's antics will just be part of their storyline.

If they can ever figure out how to defeat the Evil Genius.

Greatest post of all time contender!

That's a great reacharound by Stevie to be fair. The perfect tickle under Jose's ball. Spot on.
Reading the paper this morning, Remy claiming Liverpool pulled out of the deal and made the claim he failed the medical as an excuse. If that's the case, surely they must've thought they had a chance to sign someone better in those weeks between Remy and Balotelli signing? Wasn't that the same few weeks they were interested in Falcao?
Maybe they thought Balotelli was a better long term option than both of them without having to pay Falcao's massive wages.
They can still get money back for Balotelli if it doesn't work out.

I highly doubt even Maestro Rodgers would rather sign Balotelli than Falcao.
Balotelli is rock bottom in terms of "marquee" signings. He's a good player but also a player no-one really wants. Rodgers is probably hoping he can turn out like Sturridge did after he was written off by both City then Chelsea. The difference is, Sturridge doesn't have the personality problem, he was let go because they both got his football ability wrong, he's proved them wrong at Liverpool. Balotelli is a different breed, you can see him throwing a strop when he's taken off mid-game or not fancying a trip to Newcastle in the snow. Good player but one hell of a gamble for them. Can't laugh at them or laud them for it though, just see how it pans out.
At £16m he's close to what United are paying for a loan player, an injury prone one to boot. He may or may not feck it up, and I'm personally well pleased he's arrived and hope he becomes our Cantona (remember his reputation when Leeds offloaded him), but whether he works or not, a massive gamble at that money he most certainly isn't. Suarez is one bite away from a 12 month ban, Barca are the ones taking a massive gamble, not Liverpool.
Injury prone? Prior to the ACL injury last season he missed 18 league games over 4 consecutive seasons at Porto and Atletico. Doesn't sound particularly injury prone. A risk after such a serious injury, yes but hardly a record of being injury prone.
Yes because the absence of Suarez will would severely harm Barcelona. How will they possibly cope with only Messi and Neymar?
I can't believe in your post you are implying Suarez leaving was a good thing.
lol do you read goal.com? How does 6 million equate to 16?
So Liverpool pull out of signing Remy so they can sign someone else and then try and Wreck Remy's reputation and a possible move to a bigger club buy saying he failed a medical?, what a horrible club.
Injury prone? Other than one serious injury, Falcao's played over 40 games every season since coming to Europe.
Balotelli, meanwhile, has been trouble for every single side he's ever played for. Notable that Conte's snubbed him for Italy, while he's also been kicking lumps out of opposition players in the ressies at Liverpool, and he's only been there two minutes.
You've signed a myth.
This is a classic Liverpool fan-base post. Full of delusion, lack of research and awareness and to top it all off, make it out that Barca are getting the shit deal by signing a player you worshiped. Why half you have gotten promoted I'll never know.
Nobody in their right mind should have doubted Sturridge's ability if they saw him play as a youth.
I remember saying that Sterling was way more talented than Wilshere. And that's after the media picked up Wilshere as a symbol for England's promising future. I watched Sterling play as a youth player and think to myself: There's no way this player won't become a star in the future.

On balotelli: Believe me on this, he will never change. He will have a good couple of months with you lot but the wheels will eventually fall of the wagon. Supremely talented player no doubt but the performances to justify that talent are few and far between. It's mind boggling to me.
Ironic as you're playing up to one.
If he does okay, the fans will get behind him and it will spur him on. City fans are dicks and would never idolise him.
As opposed to Liverpool fans...?
To be fair, all fans have their dickish element.
I agree with you. But we only need him for those couple of months you mentioned to ensure CL qualification.
Only Utd fans are looking beyond these couple of months much to our amusement.
Are you talking about Balotelli? He was always well backed at City by the fans, in spite of all his stupidity. Balotelli said when he left "They are the best, they were great with me and I will always have a very special place in my heart for City"
I didn't say Barca were getting a shit deal you fecking knob I said they were taking a huge risk,and since his latest bite a much bigger risk than we are with Balotelli. Nowhere did I slag off Luis Suarez, he's one of the best players I've ever seen and I hold no grudge, he was a joy whilst he was with usand you like everybody else were shit scared of him. As for promotion, I came up in the 2010 season, try and keep up.
LOL @ you using goal.com for reference. So how much is Falcao on for his 12 months? By every account it masses more than Balotelli is, over his loan spell he'll cost a similar amount to Mario, you should know by now it's as much about wages as signing on fees.
No harm, but that's one shit post.
All these comparables to Uniteds rise in the 90's really is amusing reading, Rodgers is the new Ferguson and now Balotelli is apparently the new Cantona 
I thought Suarez was their Cantona?
No Suarez was a bad influence on the squad so they sent him off to disrupt Barcelona.
Finally the scousers have something to look towards the future at and they just can't let the past go, there won't be another Ferguson and if there by some miracle is, he won't be wearing acrylic teeth.

@Murphman falcao will cost more than Balotelli as he is twice the player. Is it any surprise?
If you could have afforded Falaco and convinced him to come to Liverpool you would have signed him. You couldn't do either.
He's more than twice the player. The gap is significantly huge between the two, it's just Liverpool fans traditionally want to compare almost everything they do as a club with us.
But but... they have Lambert and Ballotelli, who fits Brenton's system far better. Di Maria would be useless to them too.
Both sets of fans do this. To suggest otherwise is nonsense. Just see the on-going Januzaj/Sterling yap and the endless Sturridge/Welbeck debate.
