Luis Suarez thread

[GP]

What, with Lilly livered WUM in charge!

"Oh I can't comment on that -I didn't see it"
"Oh I can't comment on that -I didn't see it"
"Oh I can't comment on that -I didn't see it"
"Oh I can't comment on that -I didn't see it".....

Wow, is it 1996 again?

Wenger was the first and only person ever to pretend he didn't fully see an incident in order to shield his team and players.

And when it was physically impossible to see an incident on the other side of the pitch with his basic human eyesight, he was definitely lying too.

A truly evil man.

If Cesc goes to Utd he's a bigger **** than RvP, not because of how he outwardly behaved when leaving the club but because he played on the goodwill of the club to engineer the move. People at the club took him at his word. A move to Utd would show he didn't mean any of it. RvP was just a straight case of abandoning ship and doing a runner to a better offer.

And with what we had, and the outlook of the rest of his career trophyless,with the club showing a blatant lack of ambition year on year - do you blame him?

The amount of time Suarez is banned for during seasons isn't vastly different as to what we had to endure with Vieira - the two red cards in succession I remember, unfondly.

True. But PV4 wasn't the equivalent £40/50 mill player bought in to make the difference to our season.

Don't blame him, I'm not that connected to him. But I think he was a potentially remarkable guy who opted to become a depressingly ordinary guy. You'd expect the ordinary guy to chase the baubles and extra cash, it's predictable.

I'm not sure that matters really. If we could theoretically buy the Vieira we knew as a player, would we do it, in spite of him costing that much and having those issues as a player? I'd posit probably, certainly I would.

We could spend £30 million on a player that is likely to miss many more games through having problems with injury. Always downsides to spending that kind of sum on any player but you have to take those kind of risks eventually if you want to progress. For me, the most important thing about possibly signing Suarez is the message it might send out - not neccesarily that we're going to spend those kind of sums on high quality players all the time but just now, that we can.

If it turns out to be a complete bomb of an idea then the financial position we are in now should be strong enough to support that. Two seasons ago, this probably would be greater cause for concern, even if it's what we really needed.

[Niall_Quinn]

We don't know anything yet. So far exactly £0.00 has been spent on our one signing. We'll only know the club can compete when they hand a cheque over.

Real Madrid are not going to go for Suarez

I can see Chelsea coming in with a bid though

[Power n Glory]

I doubt they will. Jose wants Rooney and I don't think Suarez is his sort of striker.

Suarez has got some CV hasn't he

1) Tries and fails to force move to Ajax from Groningen through arbitration, but then moves when Ajax increase offer
2) Bites some bloke on the shoulder and gets a 7 match ban (Ajax tired of his antics sell him)
3) Handballs on the line to deny Ghana a goal, gets sent off then celebrates
4) Gets involved in a racism incident with Evra and then refuses to let bygones be bygones (despite being at fault)
5) Banned for making an obscene gesture at fans
6) Bites a Chelsea player and receives a long ban
7) Decides he wants to leave England and Liverpool

All all round good guy really!
