You're dying for it to be about his football ability.
What is Luis Suarez worth?
- Thread starter Donaldo
- Start date
£70m for Suarez. Madrid have gone crazy. There is no way Liverpool don't accept that.
But it's stated with an element if wishful thinking. If you only read RedCaf you'd be thinking that Suarez was leaving for 18 months. The whole discussion is framed around a certainty that he will leave, as of there's a guarantee about it.
Two points:
1. Suarez is a top player who probably has only a few prime years in the tank to go and hasn't won any major trophies in club football and is currently at a club that hasn't regularly challenge for the top honors. So there's always going to be speculation about his future.
2. Madrid always get the player they want. And there have been some mermers of them being interested in him. And they're always after the top players.
The combination of the 2nd point about Madrid's possible interest and the 1st means that there's always a feeling he might go there or even elsewhere to win big trophies.
Obviously as a United fan, you would want him leaving Liverpool given they'd be instantly weaker without him, and the fact that he behaves so pathetically on the football pitch, but it's not like it's some sort of crazy pipe dream based on very wishful thinking. There are a lot of factors in favor of Suarez leaving.
You're right, why would anyone dislike Suarez, they must be faking it.
I might rather Liverpool have Suarez than the huge pile of money that they could extract from Real.
Good post. A lot of people think that any number 10 can play as a false 9 as well. Never agreed it with it personally. False 9 remains one of the most difficult positions to adapt to for any player IMO.
I think Hidegkuti got a lot more fame due to the WC exploits and then decimating England but I read a while back that the "withdrawn forward" where the center forward drops deep out of nowhere and becomes a playmaker was tried pre WW2 in Austria and possibly Sindelar was the first false 9. It was known as the Danubian School.
Here's a short read on it.

This makes no sense.
He's unbelievable. Half fit, a month after surgery and he comes back and does that.
Great assist by Gerro. That chemistry in Liverpool still working.
Doesn't do it in big games.
Was surprised how well Vidal performed so soon after knee surgery too. I'm impressed how quickly they can play at this level so soon after surgery, as much as anything!
Genius.
His passion was fantastic.

Yeah, just a fantastic player to watch.
Just a truly exceptional player.
I was kind of hoping his improvised corner would go in just for the cheek of it.

In his current form he's the best player in the world. He's just so dangerous, so lively, so passionate and so talented. Not getting him when he was at Ajax is another mistake.

Hopefully Real Madrid will answer the thread question in the next 6-8 weeks.
He almost cried again on the pitch. Robert Huth does not approve.
Suarez has talked about the Primera Liga since he was in Holland and his agent is Pep's brother, the links have been there for a long time
Did I say £80million last summer? feck that!
Did I say £120million a month ago? feck that!
Its £150million now. Who wants to argue the point and wait for the price to go even higher. Come on then, lets be having you!

£80m buy-out (properly constructed) allegedly.
With a £1 to see if works again? (Allegedly)
This could be Gerrard v City all over again if Uruguay don't get out of the group.
Brilliant footballer.
If RM come knocking you won't see him for dust.
C'mon Real, buy him for feck sake.
Agreed. But its not dust we want to see. Its £150m.
Yeah yeah.
But a sensational footballer, 3rd best in the world for me. For as long as you have him you'll be title contenders.
Stop speaking like you're the Liverpool chairman, you dozy cnut Dumbstar.
And after over a decade on here of making stupid statements that we've all dug up and laughed at in retrospect, you still haven't learned, have you?

The laughing hasn't stopped. For over a year of me "overpricing" him and you lot laughing as usual seems like you need to do some learning yourself.
Does that make Liverpool winners of the 'we sold our best player but got a load of money' trophy? I suppose its the only silverwhere Stevie G's ever going to see.
Anybody else remember when he was at Ajax and people were saying he was just another Eredivisie Afonso Alves who wouldnt make it in the premier league?
All he had to do is wait for English players to make their usual mistakes.
It definitely wasn't his 100% performance show.

He had surgery about 4 weeks ago, it's a bloody Christ-like resurrection.
That's the scariest part. You don't get that turnaround with Aguero or Bale.
England are the equivalent of Aston Villa in international terms so not really "big" opponents in the greater scheme of things.
