Luis Suarez to Liverpool?

He's gone in the Summer, trust me.
Looking at his performances this season and his attitude during games, I'd believe you, but where would he move to? Barca do not need him, he sure as hell would not sign for Madrid. Italy? Or even Chelsea or City? Nothing's been mentioned in the papers about a possible departure though?!
 
Ridiculous thing to say. It's as if you can just use it to automatically win any argument.

Trust you? Why should we "trust" you?

I'd have thought the reasons behind the strong belief why Torres will be off in the Summer would be so apparent to any follower of the PL that stating them would be almost patronizing...

Torres is a member of the elusive "genuine World Class striker" club. That is to say, it is universally accepted that in his given position, when in form, there are none better. He's a star member of a World Cup winning national squad, a European Cup winning national side.

Now lets look at the situation of Liverpool -

1. No CL league football again
2. No European football at all increasingly likely
3. Not contending for PL title again
4. Manager who bought Torres has gone
5. Manager who succeeded said manager is of a lower caliber and fails miserably.
6. Torres interest on pitch is palpably low - to the point of it actually being uncomfortable to watch at times.
7. Liverpool, despite needing to spend in other areas (wide), spend over 20m on a CF in January, two weeks after their manager is sacked.

He's off in the Summer and they know it. I'm surprised this a controversial opinion!

A Serie A giant, Chelsea or City will bag him says Marcotti.

Who is going to buy him, out of interest?
 
I think Torres will be off this summer regardless of what happens this season and Liverpool's attempts to convince him to stay. He's looked disinterested for the last 18 months and his injury problems have hindered his form. I don't think City would be in for him with their set of strikers(there is a method behind their buying now) but Chelsea would desperately need a Drogba replacement and I could see Roman making an exception of his holding back the purse strings for Torres. He's exactly what Chelsea are going to need and despite his lack of form over the last year he's still one of the best forwards about.

They should be able to hang onto the other key players. Gerrard's left a move too late in his career and I think Reina would stick around as well.

I think Liverpool will be after Suarez now and anyone else with a bit of quality. They have a huge rebuilding operation to undertake and Suarez is about as good as they are going to attract with no CL football and no guarantees of European football next season.
 
I do wonder how long Torres will last at Liverpool, I dont think he will move in the summer, I think he will leave the next time he has a good year and can get a role at say Barca.
 
Dirk Kuyt isnt that bad of a player by any mean, but I am sure glad that United didnt buy him, I remember there being rumors of United being interested in him before he went to Liverpool.
 
Dirk Kuyt is a CF, he is wasted in RW as he can't beat his Full back... Terrible season for Kuyt and has hardly produced anything on the Right wing this season.

Thing is he's been forced to play right wing because he's not good enough to play CF, for club or country.
 
suarez is a quality player, whoever manages to purchase him will get a qulity player.

In fairness, that's not really true. He plays there because of his industry and work rate, as well as the fact that Liverpool always play the single true striker with Gerrard in behind.

If the really talented players are playing well and producing, Kuyt plays an effective role in the team. If they don't perform, he is often scapegoated because he has to try and fulfill a role that really doesn't suit him. In this way, his role is very similar to Park's, he's just slightly less effective.
 
Liverpool suffer setback in chase for Suarez

Liverpool's bid to sign Luis Suarez has broken down, according to reports in Holland.
Dutch newspaper Het Parool have claimed that Liverpool's director of football Damien Comolli held talks with the club this morning.
But he has been put off by Ajax's £30 million valuation of the striker and is not willing to do business for anywhere near that price.
The Uruguayan is said to favour a move to England but with two-and-a-half years left on his contract with the Amsterdam-based club, he now looks set to stay.

I hope this is true Suarez and the ladyboy would be lethal together and I don't just mean in Liverpools gay bars.
 
It's hilarious really. Liverpool really do seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

If they're so poor, maybe they need to start looking at worse players, rather than embarrassing themselves.

Their tactic seems to be to unsettle the players and get the players to force through a transfer - and by that way hope to hold the upper hand in terms of the transfer fees.

If it works, our yanks are shrewd and canny negotiators and this is proof that they know what they're doing and we'll soon be back.

If it doesn't I am reserving the right to label them cheapskates no better than G&H.
