Luis Suárez

Very strong rumours in local radio that Barcelona is after Suárez. Reliable source. €€€ + Alexis Sánchez.
 
Great deal for both sides if it happens imo. Liverpool are doing a good job in diversifying with the likes of Shaqiri and Sanchez (if this is true).
 
It is not as simple as forcing Barca to include Sanchez as a part of the deal. He has to agree to move to Liverpool as well.

How much could Liverpool afford to spend with regards to FFP if you don't sell Suarez? Would the signings of Can, Lambert, Lallana and possibly Markovic, Moreno and a CB make it a struggle?

We'll be selling players too. The increase in TV money and the added CL revenue should mean we're fine though.
 
Even if they get Sanchez they'll still be desperate for a big name striker won't they? Sturridge and Lambert won't come close to cutting it over a full season. And the likes of Can, Markovic, Lallana and Moreno aren't exactly names that will strike fear in the other top four hopefuls.

They'll be in the same position as Torres/Carroll. Whoever they go for will probably cost 50% more for Liverpool than anyone else.

Sanchez can play centrally.
 
Sanchez talk is interesting but the guy is in Brazil. Until Chile get knocked out these things are never clear.

I suppose. A front four of Sturridge, Coutinho/Lallana, Sanchez and Sterling does sound good on paper, just not sure it has enough fear factor or match winning ability without Suarez. But then there really aren't that many available players who could fill that role. Jackson Martinez and Cavani are the only two I can think of.

His agent, and reps from Liverpool and Barca are perfectly capable of making it happen during the WC. The question is whether any of this is accurate or just media BS.

I doubt players would be thinking of transfers in the midst of knockouts now.
 
I'm sure transfers interest in these players hasn't suddenly developed. Most of the discussions have probably been ongoing for weeks at a minimum.
But would the national FA allow such things to happen in the camp? Right before the matches, they wouldn't want the players to be distracted by the transfers. Hence why the Shaw deal was delayed I think.
 
An attacking trio of Suarez, Messi and Neymar does sound more or less impossible to deal with.

Yeah, but it always seems to me that great attacking players never look as good when they play with Messi. Maybe it's because there's only one ball and everything revolves around him. Neymar didn't look that brilliant for Barca so far.
 
Liverpool should get rid. Then again they should have when he was found guilty of racism. He's no respect for anyone, or loyalty. If they do sell him though his antics will certainly have decreased his value significantly.

I don't think it's a big deal. Both Rakitic and Bravo have been signed and announced while they were with their national teams at the world cup.
 
I read an article on Suarez recently about his wife and upbringing. She was from a more affluent family who looked after him during his teen years, at 16 or around then the family moved to Barcelona - leaving Suarez determined to be a better player and move to europe. The families name is Balbi, the same name as his lawyer/agent.
 
Doesn't make sense since the odds would be skewed because the ratio of footballers Suarez would come into contact with is significantly less than the ratio of people who might come into contact with a Shark.
 
Wow, Chiellini has come out and said the sentence is too stiff!

Well, didn't expect that. I'm actually not even mad, I'm impressed. Only a badass would brush off being bitten.

I wouldn't be surprised if the penalty is so stiff because he's lying about having done it.

If he'd admitted what he did and apologized immediately he probably would have been able to train and be in the stadiums at least.

Sven did. Roy didn't.

Didnt he fall to the floor and roll around a couple of times?

Chiellini said in the sense that Suarez isn't even allowed near the team/stadium, etc. Sure we can debate in that respect, but I think not being a part of matches is justified.
 
In a way you have to admire the man. He's just arrived home to Montevideo to a heroes reception, carrying his kids and smiling.

He's got the 2 best clubs in the World chasing him and he'll prob earn another £60m over the rest of his career.

Seems like nothing he does negatively impacts him.

Sanchez can play centrally.

He's played there only thrice over the last season.

BTW, why do you blokes seem happy about him leaving? You cannot replace someone like Suarez with someone with less talent, no matter how many of them you buy. Spurs couldn't replace Bale, we couldn't replace CR7. Even if Sanchez comes along, it's hard to see you lot replicating last season's performance with the new signings. Lambert, Markovic and Lallana? Come on.

I've said I want him to stay. I just think it's inevitable that he goes at this point.
