Madrid get Real over Suarez swoop

Not open for further replies.
I think people are focusing on the goals he scored and not the amount of goals he provided to others.

Barnes was never a selfish player like Suarez is.
But then again Barnes wasn't a striker and shouldn't be compared to Suarez.
However, skill wise? Barnes fucking pwned Suarez.
 
Not a chance. Suarez is the most gifted footballer we have ever had at the club.
Barnes was a better winger and I much prefer him, but Suarez is a better 'football player'.
Suarez is on another level.

As I've said a few times - Suarez does things on the football pitch that I've only ever seen Messi do ... Digger is a legend, and we shouldn't compare a player who'll never be that for us, but footy skillz wise? Suarez is the best we've ever had. It's not even close, unless you want to bring in Le Tellac obviously! 😉

Exaggeration much?
Do a quick youtube search for Barnes, then come back and revise your post.

I have seen plenty of both - Suarez does things on a consistent basis that only Messi can do. Enough posters who've seen both in their eras live - unlike you and I - say the same thing. Piedro was too busy chasing girls to watch Digger that much.

But there is plenty of things that Suarez can't do that players like Bale or Ronaldo can do.

Suarez is gifted but he's no footballing genius.

He is definitely not in the same bracket as Messi and below that isn't as good as Ronaldo. Looking back at the great players over the years, he's not at the level of Zidane or (fat) Ronaldo, before his injury either. He is a quality player but let's not kid ourselves that he's a phenomenon.

Barnes, when he was fit, was supreme. He scored far better goals than Suarez has ever managed to.
 
Suarez is better than Barnes was, they do play different positions, and Barnes was amazing THAT season, and had a good few seasons before losing his legs and changing his role, but Suarez is a true mercurial cultured player. Unfortunately he's also a massive dickhead.

I don't necessarily disagree with the gist, but Barnes was definitely a "truly mercurial cultured player" too.
 
MODO and rafviagra know what they are talking about.

Jesus I'm fucking ruined, been on the ale since 11am watching Lancashire )cricket(

I never said Suarez was at Messi's level - he just does things on the ball that only Messi does. He's at that tier below Messi & Ronaldo, who are at a level that no one else is close to currently in world football.

Fat Ronaldo and Zidane were close to Messi and Ronaldo than Suarez is, yes.

I think the fact Suarez is in the doghouse is leading some posters to forget just how good he is.
 
Suarez is just a better version of my favourite Luis with the addition of moaning, cheating and all round cuntiness.

And he's had just one great season in a good league.

I'll take Barnes
 
He has had one good season as Ross says.It's the perfect time to cash in. How do you feel about not taking the 27m for Agger? He could be gash this season, have another incident, and we'd have to sell for much less. Every club has an obligation to sell a player at his peak.
 
If it's what is best for Liverpool, then yes - move him on. If we're doing it just because of what he said in the press, but it's not best for Liverpool, let him get us into the CL and then re-assess. He's entering his prime now ... His value will only increase ...

Does anyone, other than our resident Dane, actually believe that Barca are remotrly interested in Agger, let alone that they offered 27m?

It's had minimal coverage. If Barca are serious about a player, you fucking know it, especially when the mooted fee is that much.

it sounds about as likely as Bentner being anything other than a poor man's Peter Crouch

If we want to remain mid table.
 
We remain mid table if we squander the money, in which case we deserve it.
Point taken. But, if you compare the amount of times that we have squandered the money to the amount of top 5 in the world players we have or had, I'll choose our proven footballing genius bitey horrible cunt every time. I go to watch the football, sing the songs and bump into folks I met before and have a beer.
