Liverpool are giving a medical to Aspas, ah bless them, that's so sweet.

suarez looks like he's gone
they'll probably get what, £35m at least?
id take it tbh. he has too much baggage. and when he was banned they played quite good football and had some decent form didnt they? not always looking to go through him etc, made the team look a bit better.
spend £25m on a higuain or someone of that calibre and put the other £10m towards a midfielder or whatever they need.
they sold torres and ended up with suarez. they can do it again. no player is bigger than the club.
I agree to a certain extent. When a player like him [and where he is a level above the rest] the ball automatically goes to him and stays with him. It was the same with Torres before, he was always the go to man. Now they're forced to look for others. Though that's not to say we didn't play well with him there either. Our problem was consistency; one week we'd play a team off the park and the next we literally couldn't pass it 5 yards. Literally.
I'd hope for more than £35m though, or that plus a player or two. Saying that, it's so rare swap deals happen of this calibre, so straight money is most likely.
I'm not really bothered if he leaves, since he'll be replaced by the next one to become a fan favourite and then leave after a few years. That's football. Coutinho will be gone sooner or later, Reina, Agger. Sturridge is English so he's staying for a while.
We're close to getting this Aspas, I'm not sure exactly what his position is, and a young Spanish winger/midfielder from Sevilla, who will therefore also be off in a few years if he's any good. And I wouldn't put it past us getting Sinclair as rotation. I'd like to see us get a big bastard in midfield if we could to balance out the small technical players, get shot of Shelvey and the other squaddies [for example Pacheco, Carroll, Spearing, Assaidi], loan out Suso, get rid of Coates and maybe Skrtel, bring in a good quality but big-bastard CB and we'd have a decent squad as it is.
It would then all come down to the Suarez situation, and whether we could attract someone of his quality. Because it was an almighty coup when we got him and we're arguably in a weaker position than then in attracting players.

A spas medical, meh still more effective than Diaby I guess...
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
I went to Liverpool and all I got was this crappy shirt!

if you sold him for £40m, how would you spend the money (realistically)?
What, me personally?
No clue. I'm still on FM12 so all my signings would be two years out of date.
But general outline; big bastard in midfield [and frankly these are invariably 6ft+ and African] who can still pass a ball, desputise/replace Lucas and come in when we face cloggers. A big, tall CB since quite often last season we simply didn't attempt to win headers in our own half. And depending on who leaves, a quick winger-type.
If you mean Rodgers, well our strongest links seem to be Aspas, Luis Alberto a young winger/striker from Sevilla (but with Barca DNA), Papadopolous from Schalke, a CB with apparent knee trouble and Ilori a young CB from Sporting. And of course Kolo. If they are all targets without Suarez money then add a forward who is comfortable playing across the front, rather than a poacher.
what the fuck has happened to skrtel? that guy used to be a beast. a shadow of his former self. and didnt coates win player of the tournament not so long ago for his national country? did they get wenger'd?
