Luis Suárez

I never particularly liked him as I thought he was always the perfect example of what is wrong with modern day footballers, just like our own pepe. There was a chance also that he could have ended up playing for Madrid and if that was the case it would have been similar to how I view pepe. I would tolerate him when he is playing well but I would never really like him no matter how good he is.
I never thought i would of disliked a footballer more than Gerrard until Suarez came along, he really is the most despicable footballer I have ever seen.
 
Liverpool lost 90M from 2011-13. 50M in the 2012-13 financial year. I don't think they failed FFP because they were able to write down expenditure on infrastructure and inherited debt. They had a lot of exemptions. They had a net spend of 17M last season, so I don't know what their losses were (if any). But they did have a bumper new contract with Suarez to take into consideration and of course the new signings.

I doubt their owners are in it to run losses for very long. They'll be happy to have CL money this season but I am sure they will be wary of how sustainable or unsustainable it is to rely on that income. The 75M they get for Suarez is going to be eaten up by Can (10m), Origi (10m), Lallana (25M), Markovic (25M), Lambert (4M) and Lovren (20M). All decent signings I think, aimed at greater squad depth, but none that will make them a better team immediately. If they get 75M for Saurez, that'd be a net spend of around 20M. I doubt, given the losses they've made, the increased wage bill from adding 5 (net) players to their squad, that they are going to spend much more than 20-30M net. I'd be amazed if Markovic isn't being sought as an alternative to Sanchez, who seems set to move elsewhere.

Plus, they have to think about replacing Gerrard within 1 or 2 seasons, and probably signing a fullback or two. My impression of Liverpool, since Fenway took over, is that they have turned the corner from the shambolic transfer approach that has marred them for the last 20 odd years. I've been impressed with how players like Coutinho, Sturridge and Henderson have turned out to be excellent purchases, at decent prices.
 
If the story about Liverpool backing out of the deal or if they drag the saga out, I can see Suarez refusing to return to Liverpool.
 
I'm on a mobile so I can't upload all the tweets. It's all stuff to do with Suarez and the price he is going for and the release clause.

@TonyBarretTimes is his twitter username.

Dude, I think you're looking at the fake Barret account again. It's had so many people yet it keeps going. :lol:
 
Yup, rac1 just saying agreement reached between the clubs, just signing left.
 
It just hit me that Liverpool's European ranking could be so bad that they are drawn in a group with Barcelona. Please football gods, hear me out!

Then twat them in their own ground in the first game, to start off Enrique's reign with a mare.

Remember how the United fans were saying that the Spanish clubs usually get they want?

Heh. All that confidence about Suarez staying is such typical Liverpool delusion.

Nope - it's defiance...just like those 300 Spartan blokes defying the odds against the collective might of FIFA, Barca and Howard Webb.

But, but they're in Champions League. How dare can Suarez leave them for failure clubs like Madrid or Barcelona when he can play in Champions League for Liverpool?
 
It's his loss, mate. He'll never experience those magical European nights at Asda.
 
I suspect there would have been more chance of him staying had he not bit Chiellini.
 
So it will all be about supporting Madrid for the Classicos, my hatred for him exceeds Real Madrid as a whole.
So true :mad: Bloody Barca!!

Thank God there's Atletico now at least!

It's a PDF of a Times article. Basically says the payment structure is sorted and all that's left is a medical.

That has one of the best quotes ever. Like something you'd read in the Onion:

“I have read about the transfer,” Stoichkov said. “He seems a really good player to me, one of the best forwards, with the character required to play for the biggest clubs — but the bites are going to be a problem."

Exactly. Barney on here in particular was really confident whenever it was brought up. I'd love if so somebody could dig some of his posts up just for fun.

I thought Suarez was going to stay. Most supporters did. It's no different to those of you who thought he was nailed on to leave last summer.

Arsenal wanted him last season. Everyone here said that once barca or madrid tried to sign him he was a goner. They were all spot on.

Everyone here said he was going to Arsenal last season. Have a look through the thread if you need reminding.

I'm torn now. I've only just begun to truly appreciate messi. And now he'll be playing alongside that racist shitbag.

Did you agree with them when they were saying the obvious about barca or real?
