Luis Suarez pwned by the Lizards and is Staying, and has said sorry to BR and teammates

He nearly always looks a right miserable fucker.
Not when we score, but again it's only preseason.
But to me I think he made it a point to look disinterested. Maybe I'm being paranoid but he just didn't seem to want to be there.
Sure if he's forced to stay he'll put in 100% in the competitive games though.
 
Graeme Souness would find it hard to understand Luis Suarez's decision if he left Liverpool for Arsenal this summer.

The Sky Sports pundit was speaking after his former club turned down a £40million offer from their Premier League rivals for the unsettled striker, who has stated his desire to play in the Champions League next season.

Souness, who has both played and managed at Anfield, says he would not be upset if Suarez was sold to a European powerhouse like Real Madrid, but says it would be tough for the supporters if he ended up at a club that finished three places ahead of them last season.

"There is no better football club in England than Liverpool," he told Sky Sports News.

"There is no better group of supporters than they have at Liverpool. For me - and I know I'm totally biased - but I go to these big modern stadiums throughout the country and Liverpool still generates the best atmosphere. I think the supporters are more understanding than anywhere else.

"For me he should stay at Liverpool and be a company man and try to get them into the Champions League. His goals would go a long way to helping them do that.

"I would fully understand it if Real Madrid came knocking and he really dug his heels in and said he'd got to go because it's a chance to go back to a Latin country.

"Real Madrid are, right now, arguably the biggest club in the world and that I could understand and live with that.

"But leaving Liverpool and going to another English team is not going to endear himself to any Liverpool supporter."

Liverpool owner John W Henry responded to the latest bid with a message on Twitter stating "What do you think they're smoking over there at the Emirates?"

And Souness says it will take an enormous offer to tempt them to sell Suarez to a Premier League rival because the player could potentially "embarrass" his former employers next season.

"It's very hard for Liverpool to sell Suarez to another English team," he added.

"It's a bit like Wayne Rooney going to Chelsea. I think ideally if they are going to leave their football clubs they'd like to sell them outside the Premier League.

"For Luis Suarez, the ideal move for him would be to Real Madrid, going back to a Latin country and his mother tongue and to one of the biggest teams in world football.

"For Luis Suarez to go to Arsenal would be a great signing for them because whoever gets him are going to get a great football player, but I think it's hard for Liverpool to sell him there. The supporters would not be too happy with that.

"If Wayne Rooney goes to Chelsea, what's guaranteed is that he would embarrass Man United and what's guaranteed is that Suarez would embarrass Liverpool when they play against each other if he was to go to Arsenal."

Managing director Ian Ayre is set to hold further talks with Suarez this week and Souness says the club must swiftly line up a replacement if they decide to sell their prized asset.

He likened the situation to the £50million sale of Fernando Torres to Chelsea in 2011 and the subsequent capture of Andy Carroll from Newcastle for an inflated £35million; a scenario he says Liverpool must avoid this time.

Souness added: "Liverpool had the problem previously when they sold Torres to Chelsea and ended up with a big lump of money.

"Then whoever they go and buy - and it was Carroll - they ended up getting their trousers taken down and ended up paying too much.

"That's the problem when you sell a big player. You end up with this big lump of money and whoever you try and buy there is a premium to be paid.

"That's the problem they're faced with, but that's something Ian Ayre will be fully aware of. Ideally, if he was to go he would maybe be getting someone in before they actually announced he's gone, so they're not paying that premium."
 
If he stays I have zero concerns about his happiness affecting his commitment. He plays with 110% desire to win 110% of the time...if anything he's guilty of wanting to win too much, hence the bite. If he stays it will be the same, he will go on the pitch willing to murder everyone in the stadium if it would get the 3 points
 
Rodgers said he's tired and he looks it aswell.

Speaking of Twitter:

@FootyHumour: John W Henry was going to say "What have Arsenal been drinking?" instead of smoking but then realised that they have no cups at the Emirates
 
The other thing is Suarez must be crazy to think he'll get anything like the support he got from Dalglish and Rodgers if he plays for Wenger. Wenger's grown more and more aloof over the years and if Suarez messes up Wenger would throw him to the dogs.

I was thinking this watching the game, he'll never get support like that anywhere. He should look at Torres, ok he might have won shit, but regards personal satisfaction and feeling genuinely adored, really?

Arsenal bid for Suarez might breach PL rules. How did they know about clause in his contract about above £40m. Liverpool should complain

Their defence is it was reported in the media for about a month before they made the bid.
 
Perhaps Suarez just feels like a bit of a cock sitting beside his teammates after trying to talk his way into a move all summer?
 
Suarez's attitude really pissed me off, especially with the 2nd goal. He looked gutted that he'd actually been involved.

If he carries on like that some opposition player should just go through him. He's banned for the first month anyway so it wouldn't matter too much.

I enjoyed John Henry’ s tweet this morning. It came in response to Arsenal’s cheeky little release-clause activating 40million and a pound bid for Luis Suarez.

“What do you think they are smoking over there at Emirates?” Henry asked.

To which the only answer is: whatever it may be it is a lot less powerful than what was in Henry’s pipe when he paid £35million for Andy Carroll. Now that was stuff with some illusionary effect.

As it happens, the bid from the Emirates was not a bit of weed-inspired whimsy. Rather it was a clever little opening of negotiation. If there is a release clause which requires Liverpool open discussions on a sale of the Uruguayan, then why not prise it open. Get them to discuss a deal. Put a bit of heft in your cheek.

And what a buy Suarez would be for the Gunners, filling that sizeable Van Persie sized hole which so debilitated them last season. This is a player perfectly adapted to the lone striker role in front of a rapid, swiftly inter-changing midfield trio; a player apparently tailor-made for Arsene Wenger’s preferred system.

A shame, then, that it also appears to be a deal about as likely to go through as Gareth Bale turning out for Fulham in the new season.

Even if they reluctantly accept that their prize asset wants out of Anfield, Liverpool are simply not going to sell him to such a close competitor. Why cede the one advantage you have to your immediate rivals? It makes no competitive or commercial sense.

What is more interesting about the bid, however, is this: how did Arsenal know that a £40million plus offer would trigger the player’s contractual release clause? Was it educated guess work? Was it, as Henry implies, the result of a little bit too much ingestion of stimulants? Or could it be that they were tipped off by someone who knows the inside details of the contract? You know, someone like an agent craftily seeking to engineer a move.

Suarez’s people have form for this sort of thing. It was a trigger clause that lubricated his move from Groningen, who he had joined as a 19 year old, to Ajax. Presumably when they made a bid that obliged their rivals to open discussions, Ajax’s board had not been spending a little too much time in the cafes of downtown Amsterdam. They were acting on inside information.

This time, though, the Arsenal offer may not be so straight forward. Suarez’s agent has clearly been given the go-ahead from his client to get the ball rolling. But the player might have a different destination in mind from the club which was first to bite.

Maybe, in his keenness to get things sorted quickly, this has been initiated by an agent who realises that if one club can be persuaded to issue a smoke-em-out offer, then the clubs he really wants to do business with might quickly be encouraged to get down to the negotiating table.

And there is no doubt where the player and his representatives want to head. Real Madrid is clearly the destination for every Spanish speaking footballer with ambition – just as it is for plenty more.

And if they were reluctantly reconciled to losing the forward, then Madrid is a destination that would suit his current employers far more than London.

That is a deal with every chance of reaching a conclusion. But it does – of course - require the Spanish club to make an offer. Having Arsenal so boldly open negotiations might be the spur required to rev up a response. What Henry may have soon to acknowledge is that the bid from the Emirates, even if he does not end up there, has increased the chances that Luis Suarez will be heading away from Anfield before the start of the season.

Just a pity for Arsenal that it may well transpire that they have been duped into acting as a stalking horse for someone else’s ambitions.
 
I really don't care if he goes as long as he doesn't join that shower of cunts. Why would he want to stay in UK after what he's said and play for a trophyless passion-vaccuum?
Just so he can play in the champions league until February when they get knocked put, again.
Amazing stuff.
