Liverpool FC dismiss Suarez legal action story

Suggestions that Luis Suarez is ready to take legal action against Liverpool in a bid to push through his transfer to Arsenal have been dismissed by sources at Anfield.

The story which lead the Daily Mail’s sports coverage suggested that the striker’s advisors believe the £40 million plus one pound bid from Arsenal was enough, under his contract, to force the club to sell and the fact that they have not is a clear breach.
Liverpool dismiss the story on two fronts. The first is that they believe the contract clause is specific in that it says only that a bid above £40 million has to be communicated to the player, but there is no obligation on the club to sell. The second is that they believe the rumblings about legal action do not come from the Suarez camp, but rather from the edges by those seeking to become involved in what would be a major money earner for various people.
There is, however, no doubt that Liverpool’s determination not to sell Suarez has been weakened by the constant speculation which Brendan Rodgers believes now has the potential to undermine team moral. However, there has been no weakening in the club’s position that it will take a fee of close to £50 million to prize the striker away.
At the same time the club is also determined that if Suarez wants to leave, he must first submit a transfer request which would cost him a considerable loyalty bonus.
 
But it might be worth it, no? Has any club done something like that before?

I seem to recall Chelsea letting a player on huge wages rot in reserves (well the player himself seemed happy to be there too actually). Since then, have they had any issues with want away players?

It might indeed be worth it, but we'd have to accept there'd be a risk involved, especially if any offers now coming in for him increase to a figure closer to our valuation.

As far as Chelsea are concerned: offhand I can't think of too many wantaways from there, but it's not likely you're going to get those anyway at a club which pays their level of wages and is in the running for all the trophies.

Chelsea could also afford to write off the £6million or so Winston Bogarde would have generated, whereas we can't afford to write off £40M (or whatever loss we make if we bung him in the reserves and sell him after a year)
 
Liverpool fans giving Luis Suarez a standing ovation during pre-season aren't showing their class, as Brendan Rodgers has claimed, but embarrassing themselves.
Like a jilted lover desperately begging a cheating partner not to leave, pleading that all will be forgotten if only they will stay, these Liverpool fans are casting aside dignity because they fear losing the object of their affections.
The latest round of applause came during an open training session held in front of fans at Anfield this week, when Suarez was given more rousing backing.
“Luis was probably humbled by the reception,” said Rodgers, speaking after Steven Gerrard's testimonial, in which Suarez received loud cheers upon entering as a substitute. Yeah, probably. He probably wasn't humbled enough to want to stay at Anfield, however, so why should Liverpool supporters cheer him like he's desperate to play for a club that they pay plenty of money to go and watch?
This is no complaint about Suarez. He is entitled to want to leave, if he so wishes, and unless you are the most blinkered Kopite, it is obvious that Luis Suarez would like to leave Liverpool. By cheering him to the rafters, Liverpool supporters are no doubt doing their best to convince the Uruguayan to change his mind, but applause from fans of a team that represents but a chapter in his career surely won't be much of a concern when he considers his future?
Suarez can rely on being cheered by the fans of whichever club he plays for. Likewise, a man of his experience is hardly likely to worry about being booed by fans in the future.
Anyway, do Liverpool supporters need to worry so much about him leaving? Suarez has been prolific on the pitch since signing in January 2011, but not without causing the club problems. Besides which, when he arrived at Anfield, Liverpool were seventh. Last season, Liverpool finished seventh.
Elsewhere, I have stated that selling him to a direct Premier League rival, Arsenal, would be a mistake, but it is the job of Liverpool's management, who do have Suarez under contract after all, not to sell to the Gunners. You've got to leave it to FSG, hope they do what is best for the club and concentrate on supporting the team.
If Suarez is part of that team when the season kicks off and does his bit, fine, cheer any contribution and effort in those games, but don't sacrifice respect for Liverpool's support by metaphorically throwing yourself at one player's feet.
Save your breath and sing the name of Liverpool Football Club instead because, unlike Suarez, it's been going nowhere for too long.

 

Yes - we get that you really hate Suarez with a passion, and are in general very pessimistic about the team's opportunities this year or ever. I can only hope the team can make you smile a few times this year.
 
Where's that from? @RedZeppelin III


ah it's just some shite from talkSport of all places . "Embarrassing" ourselves might be a bit much but i personally wouldn't be singing his name or sucking his dick to stay . It's obvious he doesn't give a shit and giving him unconditional support seems a bit naive to me . But that's just my opinion and i'm usually in the minority .

The source says it all. Ignored most of the bits that might have resonated with me because they sought to demean us for cheering one of our best players in the hope he might stay and / or out of our loyalty to him. Not bothered if it doesn't cut both ways. Someone has to show some loyalty somewhere!
 
RedZeppelin: I know what you mean, but I reckon it's worth doing if there's even an outside chance it might make him wonder whether he'd really be gaining anything by moving to another English club with not much (if any) more of a chance of winning something.

Regardless of where you stand on Suarez, I really don't think anyone - and I mean anyone - would want you to suck his dick to stay.

...and some class. The irony of TalkSh!te prattling about anyone embarrassing themselves won't be lost on anybody with half a brain. As for anyone who doesn't get it, who gives a flying one what (or if) they think?
 
Anyone else got a feeling Chelsea will step in with a bid soon, should their move for Rooney fail?

I don't for two reasons -

a) Mourinho likes, and respects, Rodgers. He thinks we aren't a rival to them, so he won't try to rock our boat as he's done with manure.
b) I generally believe Mourinho has gone after Rooney to shake Manure internally and weaken Moyes from the get go.

I think you and Spion care what they think - given you've both reacted to it.

I just wondered who was spouting it. The first line hit a nerve as i think its bollocks. But i wouldn't give them the satisfaction or the money of ringing in to dispute it. They're wums and thinly veiled ones at that. Speaking of which...😉

Interesting I had not looked at it that way. Upset the apple cart. Ideal scenario - Swansea beat a man utd in turmoil on the opening day with a Bony hattrick, next game up Chelsea beat them. United bottom of the table and the knifes out for Moyes already.
 
I'm just pointing out that two of the people who might be most embarrassed about their support of Suarez are taking an issue with the article.

Nothing wummy about that

I'm not "supporting" Suarez. I don't want a world class player to leave, there's a difference but as its clear that I'm responding to your wummery I will stop now.
