Luis Suarez, £135M?

Pretty sure if you took a poll the majority of fans wouldn't want him anywhere near the club. This is one of those transfers that would have to be called off due to fan backlash.
Don't really agree. Sure most fans would initialy be against the transfer but IMO he performs well and most of the fans "forget" they had a problem with him.

Still don't see it happening.
 
I'd rather pay £135m for a player of Suarez' class than £90m for Pogba. Suarez is the type of player who can decide games on his own.
 
Did he actually kick Evra because he was black? Or because he was an opposition player (like Chiellini and Ivanovic) who was frustrating him?

That's what he said himself, if one would believe Evra. Now, not being mind readers, we can't know that for sure. But that goes for anything everywhere at any time in the world.
 
just amazed why a thread like this isn't closed much earlier
 
He's 29, and an absolute prick.

Best striker in the world. If he wasn't who he is and was maybe 2 years younger he'd be worth that fee.

He said himself that he kicked Evra because of his skin colour?

Not sure I agree - especially if it was an anonymous poll.

I'd be amazed if he kicked Evra because he was black.

However, that doesn't mean he wouldn't say he did it because he was black as sledging.
 
Giggs is a cnut but saying he's worse than Suarez is plainly idiotic.
Giggs is worse IMO. Then again, it's comparing absolute scum with each other so arguing who is worse is a bit pointless.
 
That would be typical us.

It would be like taking a part out of a Mercedes and putting into a Fiat thinking the Fiat will now be a Mercedes. Suarez is even being heckled at Barca by Neymar and Messi for his lack of technical ability. The man is a pure goal scoring machine and will need a lot of backup or he will just be another striker with high ability that failed at Man Utd.

Racism and biting people trumps cheating on your missus, even with the brother angle.

I'm in no way defending Giggs, he's a twat, but Suarez is a worse one.
 
Would rather see united relegated than that cnut putting on a united shirt.
Close thread lam feel sick

Interesting, when has this happened?

His technique isn't as clean as Neymar/Messi but imo it comes down to decision making. His mentality and go to option is to always take it into stride/take the touch to open up the body to maximise the 'big hitter' opportunities i.e a shot, a half-step to get ahead of his defender etc. Because he's also a channel runner in the system his instinct is at odds with the philosophy, although he's also part of what makes it so effective too because he's a fantastic goal scorer and opportunity creator.

Just because you make racist comments doesn't mean you're inherently a racist - Evra said that he didn't think Suarez was in fact a racist IIRC. I personally think a few incidents are not as bad as decade+ long affairs. However, like I said, they're both deplorable human beings.

I wonder: if all of this Giggs stuff came out at a much younger age, would people have wanted him sold?
 
I think he'd be as keen on us as we would be on him. Never happening in a million years.

Evra is entitled to his opinion, but for that to be the thing your mind goes to says something as far as I'm concerned.

Re Giggs stuff coming out when he was younger I think it being outside football would have meant people foind it easier to look past. Suarez cuntery has been on the pitch.

he said one word to Evra that for him culturally wasn't racist, in the heat of battle.

Giggs slept with his brothers wife for a decade. That is just deplorable on so many levels.

I'm not defending what Suarez did, it's still not on and he was rightly banned, but there's no contest when comparing the two.

Good god.
 
If we not only bought Luis Suarez, but actually paid £135 million for him, I think that might be enough for me to finally jack this whole "liking football" thing in and go take up bowling or some shit.

No, he didn't. But anyway. I'm exiting this thread and escaping 2011.
 
I imagine there are fans who just want to watch us play good football and would be more than happen for us to sign him. Probably queue jumpers though the wankers.
 
It's a Barcelona player's agent using us to get his player a better contract. The only surprising thing about it at this point is that people still can't see through it.

Seriously?
 
Good god.
It's like when he issued the statement about biting Chiellini at the World Cup, which everyone seems to have forgotten.
"After the impact ... I lost my balance, making my body unstable and falling on top of my opponent.

At that moment I hit my face against the player leaving a small bruise on my cheek and a strong pain in my teeth."
