Luis Suarez to Liverpool?

He'd be an improvement but I've never rated Suarez.
Would not want him to go to Liverpool, dont know why but i'd rather see some mediocre player sign for them.
He won't do anything there.
He will be an improvement over their current lot though.
Apparently Suarez deal sealed according to twitter, 17m with some add ons and clauses
Yeah. If they get him their strike force suddenly looks more potent. That is if Suarez brings the goalscoring form we know he's capable of.
I'm going to be the first to call it....bargain.
It's a hard call
Torres is their main man and Suarez is a known ball hogger of a twat

The next Dutch league bomb to come to the EPL. Won't forgive him for the handball - I'd of done the same thing in his boots, but I was desperate for an African team to progress...
Would be a very good signing for them. He's tough enough for the premiership, would take the goalscoring burden off Torres and give them a bit of much needed pace in their side.
No Babel is moving to Hoffenheim in Germany.
Would never have happened if Ajax were top of the league and doing well though.
Jol gave him the armband, De Boer was his assistant. And De Boer is still only caretaker manager
Also he's been in Holland since 2006 and he cant speak dutch? Alarm bells should be ringing for premier league clubs, he's unlikely to bother learning english either then. Having said that neither has Tevez really bothered and he's captain of one of the teams
Depends what the add ons and clauses are but that seems a reasonable amount
If its like £5 million more if they win the league or a cup, then they'll never have to pay it. If its extra money based on appearances then its still unlikely to go over £20 million
I have no clue if talkSport are a reliable site, but according to them, Ajax has told them that they will only sell for a "obscene" offer. Which I guess makes it less likely that it will happen.
Hope he doesn't go to liverpool. I really rate him and he's gonna be a great deal for them if he goes 
He will crash out there
I thought he looked too slow for the prem.
If they splash on him it's an indicator of one thing - Torres is DEFINITELY going in the Summer...

This happened on Football Manager 2011, more proof the game is realistic.
Deal done apparently, £23m.
Liverpool don't play 2 strikers upfront so wonder where and how he's going to be used.
Dalglish played two strikers before.
Liverpool in "buying sensibly" shocker
Has been said on here before.
Know feck all about him, bar what I saw in the World Cup, so wouldn't know.
link?
If true then it's a very good signing for Liverpool. Him and Torres would be a top quality front line!
All I know is that he's an annoying cheating cnut, and I'll have a good laugh at the threads on RAWK about how the 'Liverpool Way' means their players don't cheat unlike that nasty Man United.
As regards his ability he didn't impress me much in the WC. Some had talked about him as a United transfer target as a winger, but he was far too slow for that role. As a striker, who knows? He might adjust well to the PL.

All I know about him is he has a phenomenal record in Holland and can defend with his hands which isn't saying much.
Interesting to see how he gets on at 'Pool. Wonder if this was a Dalglish signing, Comolli signing or Henry signing. Still unclear as to who calls the shots there. I think it will all depend on if he is a success or not as to who gets blamed/credited.

Nothing sensible about that
He's not slow at all.
He'd be a very good signing for them. But it will help murder their midfielder because Gerarrd will return to it full time
In the head he is.
Torres will be gone in the Summer, Liverpool buying a player like Suarez is absolute confirmation of that. They've bought his replacement with half a season to get used to the PL and bed into the team, it's quite smart of them.
Liverpool won't be planning on Torres leaving and will be hopeful that he doesn't.
You're reading this wrong in my view.
Hmm the next Kezman or Afonso Alves?
4-4-2; with Torres & Suarez up front, Sam?
He looka better than either and was good at the World Cup so he might actually do slightly better than either of them.
It looks like it. I have seen very little of Suarez but it seems he likes to play behind the striker. People here can confirm that or not.
Still leaves us weak in the wider positions and successive managers appear to think it's not a problem.
I would prefer to see the money spent on a quality wide player personally.
