Suarez v the top three

After all the talk he is going to look like a bigger tit if he agitates for a move again and fucks off to Madrid or elsewhere.

Yup he's pretty unequivocal in that interview - top 4 - I stay. Will be a real turnaround if we qualify for top 4 and he wants away. Maybe we should take what he said at face value though.
 
I don't know whether that's true really, we were supposed to be "progressing" this season, with the top ask being a crack at getting in the CL. We've looked capable of going beyond that at times, and the World and it's wife know our gaping flaws and what we need to add to progress. I'd argue it's not far off what we could afford in most transfer windows, without having to flog our prized asset. And there's no law that states that to be the best, we need to add a £30m signing (Ozil anyone vs Coutinho, anyone?).

We just need to be shrewd about it, we're not that far off having a very competitive squad, it just needs a few additions, we need to just keep adding gradually. I'm fucked if I want to see us sell Luis, to fund a mass overhaul that might pay dividends a few years down the line. It seems to me it's like swapping one of the best players in the World, for squad depth. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. What's to say we won't be sat here a year or two down the line, saying to ourselves, we've got a few options now in the squad, all we need is that World Class attacker to complete the jigsaw.



Loving this, I agree wholeheartedly that £30mill plus for a player doesn't necessarily mean we would improve the squad. I will even add to the the Ozil vs Coutinho bit by comparing Sterling and Lamela. I for one would have loved to have Willian but on current performances I think that he is probably the only one I feel we missed out on.

All the signings we were linked with who have gone to Spurs are no where to be seen or heard of and they were tipped to challenge for the title because of their investment. Selling Suarez would be silly to say the least adding to our current group with quality wide left and maybe some quality squad players so that we will be able to cope in more competitions would be the best option. I for one would love to see the youngsters doing well in the future and the Anfield regeneration taking place while having a successful team, which hasn't cost us extortionate amounts of money.
 
We could potentially improve the side if we sold Suarez but it's dangerous to assume, as some people have done, that just because we got a couple bargains in Coutinho and Sturridge we can repeat that success in the future.

Rafa got Alonso and Garcia for ~17M (which even back that was great value) but it didn't stop him wasting loads of money later on.

We would not improve without Suarez. Suarez is the best forward in the world right now.
