Luis Suarez thread

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's all those people he ate.

Ha get it? Because he bit someone!

Haha, he eats things.

You never answered my question, how can they not know about this clause they are the ones that negotiated the f*cking contract for god's sake. This makes me think it's total nonsense or else Liverpool couldn't have rejected the bid.

well suarez's team seem convinced it is a release clause. its one for the lawyers this. but the longer liverpool protest it isnt, the more time madrid have to get hte money and come in for him which is what they want if htey have to sell him

ok.... fair enough double standard.

Or as they put it on here, shifting goalposts.

If what the independent is saying is true, I think Suarez and possibly Arsenal can sue Liverpool. I'd like to think Liverpools legal team will be a little bit more knowledgeable than Suarez and his bunch of sidekicks. A club the size of Liverpool cannot just not know what they have in agreement with a player and deny a bid like that. Again, I hope you are right but if you think about it logically, who will you believe- Suarez and his advisers OR Liverpool FC?

I think you underestimate how stupid we can be.

But if they did think it was a release clause it's strange that they haven't come out and said so. It's not like agents to stay quiet if they think they have been wronged, and when forcing us into a corner would clearly be in their interests. Especially an agent as slippery as Suarez' clearly is.

There's no if's or but's, if you negotiate a contract you have a copy of it and know what's in it. If a club doesn't stick to the contract it becomes breach of contract and you take them to court.

Seems to me this clause thing sounds like BS, otherwise it would be clear cut and everyone would know where they stand, Liverpool would know the repercussions of breaching the contract.

disagree. we knew about the lure of barcalona for cesc from day one. i wasnt happy with him going but we all knew it would be to barca if he did.

van persie just threw everything in our faces and fucked off with that statement. i think there is a difference. ive never been partically angry at cesc since he left, i was at van persei

dont think it is given ive had the same opinion the whole time. never been angry at cesc for the way he left, have been at van persie. i feel there is a clear differnce in what both did.

but what if it works for both liverpool and suarez to drag it out and give madrid more time?

Not really they both left when under contract, no real difference whether Cesc was going back to his home club or not is irrelevant he still went.

I don't hold it against them as I understand they wanted something more that we couldn't give them.

It doesn't breach of contract is a serious issue, you can possibly walk away because of it or get hefty compensation.
