Luis Suarez is Europe’s £30million wanted man

[King Binny]

LIVERPOOL bad-boy Luis Suarez is Europe’s £30million wanted man.

Top clubs on the continent are queueing up to offer the Uruguayan ace, currently serving an eight-match ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra, an escape route from his Premier League hell.

La Liga leaders Real Madrid, loaded French outfit Paris St-Germain and Serie A giants Inter Milan and Juventus would all be interested in taking Suarez, 25 later this month, away from Anfield in the summer.

And that means Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is bracing himself for a major battle to keep hold of his inspirational striker beyond this season.

Although publicly the Reds insist Suarez a £24m signing from Ajax this time last year, is not going anywhere, privately it is a very different story.

There are growing fears inside the club that the furore surrounding the player’s racist clash with Man United defender Evra back in October will drive him out of the English game.

Last week Liverpool opted not to appeal the lengthy ban meted out on Suarez by the FA – in a desperate effort to stem thehuge criticism being levelled at both themselves and their hitman.

The club’s unwavering support of Suarez – also fined £40,000 over the Evra incident – and his refusal to say sorry directly to the French left-back, has caused uproar in the game.

The fact Liverpool allowed their players and manager to wear T-shirts backing Suarez, even though the case with Evra was still ongoing, angered observers.

Now, when he returns next month, against Spurs on February 6, it seems inevitable Suarez, with 12 goals in 33 Liverpool games, will be targeted with non-stop stick by rival supporters.

Five days later, Liverpool travel to Old Trafford to face United for what is sure to be an explosive clash on and off the pitch.

Yet, while Suarez expects to be on the receiving end from United fans, it will be the level of abuse he gets at other grounds for the rest of the season that will decide whether he feels he has a future in England.

Mark Lawrenson, a friend and ex-Liverpool colleague of Kop boss Dalglish, believes the Reds face a crucial few months trying to hang on to Suarez.

BBC pundit Lawro said: “If you are Liverpool what you don’t want to do is put Suarez in a position where he thinks he can’t possibly continue to play in England.

“From that point of view, they have to be very, very careful in terms of what, going forward, they do with Luis.”

Despite us apparently backing him too much and influencing the fan base. Wouldn't believe a word of this article.

Thanks for posting though, Binny

Thanks for not shooting the message, 5Times. 😛

Could see this coming though. The press were probably ready to dish this out way before the verdict was passed.

Anyways at 30 m they can fuck right off. 40 and we can start talking.

Right. And that will get us another Andy Carroll.

Well done to the F.A for successfully driving a quality player away from the premiership. They have hounded him all season....what a bunch of morons!

If only it was just the FA. Too many Liverpool fans have taken a similar stance that we'd be better off w/o Suarez.
Losing Luis Suarez is not the way forward for LFC. It's the way backwards. There aren't too many top quality players around, and of those around there how many are likely to chose us over other continental/English top clubs?
The manager is perfectly right protecting him (not only in the Evra case but in general) - Ferguson protected Cristiano Ronaldo all along and MU benefited.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

sell him, sign Bent for 20 and we'll be fine b/c luis suarez is shit (& racist obviously)

 

[The Slugmonster]

We saw this headline coming after Ferguson stepped into this 'race row' back in October! Anyone who didn't is a fool. Any who did can now see why wearing the t-shirts will be key in keeping him when this witch hunt filters down!!

Absolutely,mission accomplished it would be.

He wont leave. The club, fans and Kenny have supported him since day 1, he'll repay that.

It doesn't change the fact that a good player has been unsettled due to a witch hunt.

you would hope so but who knows what influence family etc might have on him if they feel this has caused too much stress and upset to them also. Leaving would be an easy option but if he did for purely this reason it would be a little cowardly in my opinion .

 

[kingjulian]

Why would it be cowardly? He is dealing with serious loss of face. If he decides to leave, the fans shouldn't turn against him. It would be rather silly to expect him to go through all that trouble just because we stood by him.

If he goes, he probably will hold the fans and the club in high regard for standing behind him, and the fans should do the same.

I can't account for the decisions made by folks who don't know how to sign players.

We woulda turned out about the same last season if we held on to that cash, and I think we'd have made a better investment in the summer.

How long was there between ear biting and him leaving to join us?

The same folks will still be deciding who to sign with the money we'll get if we sell Suarez.
I think I'd rather keep him.

Comolli identified Suarez, no?

if barca or real came in for him he'd bite us in the arse. metaphorically and probably literally.

It's possible (well, the metaphorical bit anyway), but I doubt it. I don't think Suarez is the kind of guy to want to leave (a) a club he likes playing for (b) in such circumstances.

[King Binny]

Its funny how they rate player's value isn't it? Basically, we don't rate Suarez and are prepared to bite off any club that's offering 5m less than what Carroll cost us. He's nowhere near as good as 50m Torres too.

 

[refugee]

I'd hate to see him leave before Stevie and him finally get to play together (for a prolonged period whilst they are in form).

We'll see who laughs last then Gene 😉

I dont think he'll leave for quite a while. But that has got more to do with the fact that he has said he and his family have settled well. This incident wont change that Imho.
