What is Luis Suarez worth?

Guess he'll receive bids in the range of 60-70 mil...we can hate him, but simply can't ignore the brilliant season he has had...30 goals, 12 assists, 0 penalties...hard not to notice the shmuck...
 
He's alright against cannon fodder like Norwich etc. Has hardly turned up against the big boys this season.
 
Another weak performance against a good side.

Still a couple levels below the best in the world. There are many with much superior records in big games, including a couple of our own...

He also tends to get very tired when he has to play more games in a season. Never seems to finish a season strongly.

Does not cut it against the cream of the crop. I've been barking up this tree for a long time now. He's scored only 6 against the top teams in the league, 3 of which came against Tottenham in 2 blow outs, and 2 of which came against Everton. The other was against us in a 3-0 blow out. He doesn't score the big goals against the big teams.
 
I get the feeling he gets psyched out easily the moment things are not going according to what he wants.
 
Not this season. Didn't score in the 5-1 hammering and the other game Arsenal won 2-0.
 
2013/2014

Arsenal 2-0 Liverpool: 0 goals;0 assists.
Everton 3-3 Liverpool: 1 goal; 1 assist.
Manchester City 2-1 Liverpool: 0 goals; 0 assists.
Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool: 0 goals; 0 assists.
Liverpool 4-0 Everton: 1 goal; 1 assist.
Liverpool 5-1 Arsenal: 0 goals; 1 assist.
Manchester United 0-3 Liverpool: 1 goal; 0 assists.
Liverpool 3-2 Manchester City: 0 goals; 1 assist.
Liverpool 0-2 Chelsea; 0 goals; 0 assists.

His record this season: 3 goals, 5 assists, in 9 games. No goals scored against the top four teams this season. If I didn't include Everton, his record would obviously be worse, but Everton is big fixture for Liverpool. Goals/assists aren't obviously everything, he's had great games, like Manchester City (A) and Arsenal (H) where stats don't do him justice, but he doesn't do enough in the big games generally speaking. I've been surprised with how many teams have played "open football" against Liverpool and it's one of the reasons why Suárez has been excellent against the smaller teams, compared to the "bigger" opposition. To be fair to him, this does represent his best goals/assists output against these sides, so there has been some improvement. Again, this isn't a harsh criticism of his game and there's nothing to suggest that he won't improve in these games, but he could be doing more IMO.

You missed out Liverpool vs United, that is, if we are counting ourselves in this.

I included our fixture in the list, unless you're referring to the Capital One Cup fixture. It's only Premier League matches, and in that regard he played once against us at Old Trafford this season.

Ohhh...

You're right, he was banned. Duh! Forgot about that, he's been so fit this season I just assumed he hadn't missed a game.
 
So.. Now that Liverpool have really opened the door for City to win the title, which is most likely the case now unless some freak results roll out, does Suarez stay with another trophyless season under his belt, or would he move if Real come knocking?

Moving to Real Madrid will be logical choice for him whatever happens now this season. He has given his all and now to deserves to play with likes of Ronaldo and Bale. Madrid desperately need a world class striker to replace Benzema. It will be either Aguero or Suarez.

If Real wanted him i think he would have left anyway had Liverpool won the league. If they want him they will get him simple is that.
 
I dunno how much he's worth but he was certainly good comedy value tonight.
 
I don't think the issue has ever been whether Suarez would be willing to move to Real, it is whether they actually want him in the first place.
 
Think it depends on what they said to keep him in the summer. If it was a "sign a long-term deal, we'll get a fair price and let you go, just give us another season?" or whether they asked him to give it another season and see the progression. I think he'll leave though. I don't think they can get much more out of him.
 
I think this summer will be even harder than the last to hold onto him I'm afraid.

If he had a clause in his contract to release him 'cheaper' for us not making the CL then that's out of the window. To say we hold all the cards, his bollocks and Real Madrid's head under our armpit would be an understatement.

Knowing him he probably has a big grin under there thinking that this will make everybody love him.

Indeed. He was desperate to move last summer, but his move never materialised, because Madrid weren't willing to make the necessary offer. I'm not sure much will have changed in that regard.
 
Even if he doesn't score another goal against Newcastle he must have the best goal:game ratio of a golden boot winner? And the number of assists must be up there as well. He is the best striker in the world and if Real don't win the league or CL I think they may be tempted. A front three of Bale, Ronaldo and Suarez would surely be unstoppable. Can't see it happening though.

Take Aguero over Suarez any day.
