He'll have been involved in the deal to some extent, but so were a number of other people. He still wants to work in the Prem so he's busy bigging himself up any way he can.

If he goes, I'll be furious if we don't get Bale sort of money and can rebuild our squad with 4 or 5 world class players.
If some poxy cunts like arsenal come in with 40mill+2quid they can get to fuck, surely the owners must see this now, how much he's worth.
You never know, he might shock us and sign a new 4 or 5 year contract, whatever wages, he's worth it. It's just the release clause he'll want....

Nah he's won't get injured this season.
Suarez doesn't do injuries.
I'm still in shock at them 4 goals...absolute joy to watch and worth the entry fee alone. Was a pleasure to be there.
[article]Cavani: Unstoppable Suarez is BETTER than Bale... and would break Real Madrid man's transfer record if he left Liverpool
Edinson Cavani has suggested that Luis Suarez is better than Gareth Bale by claiming his fellow Uruguayan would justifiably command a world-record transfer fee if he leaves Liverpool.
Suarez was in sensational form against Norwich City on Wednesday night, netting four times and setting up Raheem Sterling for Liverpool’s final goal in the 5-1 thrashing at Anfield.
Paris Saint-Germain hitman Cavani believes if Suarez chose to leave Liverpool in the summer, he would cost his suitors more than the £86million Real Madrid paid for the Wales winger.
Screamer: Luis Suarez unleashes an unstoppable 40-yard volley during Liverpool's 5-1 win against Norwich
Pals: Suarez's Uruguay team-mate Edinson Cavani believes the Liverpool striker is better than Gareth Bale
Surrounded: Gareth Bale, pictured in action against Real Valladolid, signed for Real Madrid for £86million
Cavani, who has netted 13 times since making his £55m move to PSG, leads the line for Uruguay alongside Suarez, and believes if the Liverpool forward does break Bale’s transfer record, he would be worth every penny.
The former Napoli man believes that Real Madrid talisman Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi of Barcelona are the two best players in the world, but claims Suarez isn’t far behind the La Liga pair.
‘Yes all of the four goals Luis (Suarez) scored were of the highest quality,’ Cavani said. ‘But nothing he does surprises me because I know what he is capable of.’
‘I don’t know his future - but if he is sold I am sure Liverpool will want a world-record fee for him. The record was broken in the summer - and for me Luis is at a higher level than that.
‘He is the only player that I think is on the same level as Ronaldo and Messi.
‘If two or three of the biggest clubs in Europe show interest in him - then I think he could break the world-record fee for sure - and with the way he is playing you would have to say he is worth it.’
Suarez was linked with Arsenal for much of last summer, and had agitated for a move away from Merseyside.
But now the 26-year-old appears to be settled in Liverpool and has scored a sensational 13 goals so far for the Reds this season.[/article]

Ross would completely agree with them.
Wow. That site has exceptional levels of grammar & punctuation. Not to mention wit & intelligence.
We should aspire to be so one day.
That's very funny - Apart from later on when a rogue red starts taking the piss. Then it goes very dark. The rather hilariously named 'ostentatious blue' particularly has a bee in his bonnet! http://blueroom.evertonfc.com/forum/profile/10244/ostentatious+blue

how the fuck can rodgers not know and why didn't he make it his business to sit in on these meetings ? So is he really more a coach than manager with others taking care of things like this ?

One of Luis Suárez’s former colleagues, a childhood friend, tells a story about the Liverpool striker dating back to their days together in the youth sides of Nacional, in Montevideo.
There was one game, when they were both about 14, in which Suárez scored 17 goals. The match finished “something like 21-0, but I think the referee stopped counting”. As the final whistle approached, Nacional were awarded a free kick near the edge of the box. Suárez ran over and grabbed the ball, placing it carefully in position. “He wanted one more,” his team-mate recalls. “He just never stopped.”
There was a moment like that at Anfield on Wednesday night. Suárez had already scored four goals against Norwich City, all of them exquisite in their own way, when the fourth official raised his board.
He was, Brendan Rodgers revealed afterwards, supposed to show Suárez’s number; the Liverpool manager was affording the Uruguay striker a standing ovation. There was momentary confusion, though, when he displayed not Suárez’s No 7, but Steven Gerrard’s 8. The Liverpool captain, slightly baffled, started trudging off the pitch.
Suárez, though, was not paying attention when the error was spotted. He had meandered over to Anthony Taylor, the referee, to ask him how long was left. The game was in its 90th minute. Taylor indicated that there were two minutes to play. Suárez sighed. He wanted another but had to make way.
There is much to admire in Suárez, as those four goals amply demonstrated. The technique, the vision, the poise, but it is his appetite that stands out.
It is particularly notable in an age when many players seem so detached from football’s emotional charge, when a profession of loyalty is often little more than a marketing ploy, and badges are kissed because doing so makes for the perfect paparazzi pose.
Make no mistake: Suárez, if he had his way, would not be at Liverpool. He would be at Arsenal, or — better still — Real Madrid. Many other players who have been denied their move would have sulked or offered nothing more than a faded avatar of themselves as they waited for January. Not Suárez. He has scored 13 goals in nine games in the Barclays Premier League. He is the division’s leading scorer. He missed the first five matches.
That he has been able to put his disappointment at remaining at Anfield to one side in such spectacular fashion is testament to that trait he has in abundance, what the Uruguayans call garra charrúa.
The literal translation is “claw”, but perhaps “fight” is the best fit. Above all, Suárez wants to win. Who it is for is irrelevant. That is why he has been forgiven at Anfield, for the summer and for the more troubling incidents with Patrice Evra and Branislav Ivanovic: because he continues to give his all.
Whether the rest of the country follow the same path, of course, is an altogether different matter. It is far too soon to judge, but Suárez and Aaron Ramsey, the Arsenal midfielder reborn this season, can be ranked as the two early front-runners for the Footballer of the Year award.
They could not be more contrasting characters. Ramsey is the model professional; indeed, there are times when he seems to have been put together on a production line. He is intelligent, calm, warm and cautious in public. He’s the Footballer of the Year you would take home to meet your mother.
Suárez is a different matter entirely. He comes with baggage. There is always a but. Would you want him on your team? Yes, but. But is he worth the trouble? But what is he going to do next? But — and this is the crucial question — does he need that streak of devilment to be the player he is?
On Wednesday night, as he pestered Taylor to add more time on, the answer seemed to be no. Suárez has been booked just once this season; he has not berated referees quite so regularly; the theatricality has dwindled, too.
And at the same time, the numbers are increasing. He has scored a goal every hour since his return. Only seven players have scored more than him across the world in 2013.
Those sessions with Dr Steve Peters, Liverpool’s in-house psychologist, seem to be helping. He seems to have learnt. His manager feels he has matured since the summer. It is, of course, impossible to be sure. He will never be perfect. He will always be flawed. But he is worth enjoying all the same.

I enjoyed reading that - Thanks GK.
Yes, nice one macca.
I just watched the game again as I recorded the LFC TV version. Just to reiterate the thread title - WOW!!!!!!!!
Sam Allardyce:
[article=http://www.whufc.com/articles/20131206/big-sam-on-liverpool_2236884_3565001?]Sam, how will you go about stopping Liverpool?
"After their magnificent recovery from their defeat by Hull City last weekend, obviously Luis Suarez is the man. If you can control him like Hull did, I think you have a 50 per cent better chance of getting a result, maybe even more.
"Certainly if you can't control Luis Suarez, on what you saw the other night against Norwich, it's certainly going to be one where he is rattling the goals in. When you consider he has been suspended before he started playing again, to be top scorer in the Barclays Premier League shows he is the main man at Liverpool at the moment.
"Our result at Liverpool last season was focused on the form of James Collins and James Tomkins, who stopped Luis Suarez being what he normally is, and we ended up getting a very creditable nil-nil draw. As many other good players as Liverpool have and as good a team as they are, which is a better one that last season, he is still proving to be the main man to turn a game from a draw into a win.
"When you go there on the back of the four goals he scored in a 5-1 win, it makes life even more difficult, but we have to take up the challenge to try to nullify his great talent."
How did you stop Suarez last year and how will you go about stopping him again on Saturday?
"The first way is to try to stop the service he thrives on, so it's the players in front of our defenders who will be one of the key elements. As a team, we need to work on closing the opposition down and stopping their really good passers from providing the service that he needs.
"Of course, when we are in possession, we can't give the ball away too easily because Luis Suarez can't play if we've got possession. We have to do as much as we can when we've got the ball."
Where does Suarez rank in the list of all-time Premier League greats?
"Well, he's starting to be one of the best, isn't he? His goalscoring on top of his excellent ability to pick the ball up and dribble past players come from his commitment, because he is never still. He's always on the move, looking to find the ball or find space behind defenders.
"He's a constant menace to defenders because he is always looking to pounce on a mistake or get into a space to get on the ball and get a shot away."[/article]

I enjoyed that Rory Smith piece, apart from his dig at us re Luis not wanting to be here. Even if it is true
the brodgemeister just said suarez is now worth at least £40,000, 002 now.
I could be wrong obv.but I don't honestly think that was a crack at us. I thought the guy was just trying to underline how amazing Suarez' form and commitment has been this season.
DESTROY THEM LUIS!! Even Ryan will love Luis in the WC.
BTW. Who was the bird in the draw? Dirty sexy bitch.
Rodgers: I had to let Carroll go to bring the best of out Suarez... 'everything would have had to be set up around the big guy'

Brendan Rodgers has explained why Andy Carroll had to be sacrificed to turn Luis Suarez into one of the most feared finishers on the continent.
One of Rodgers’ first acts after succeeding Kenny Dalglish as Liverpool manager was to offload Carroll to West Ham on a season-long loan and he subsequently sanctioned a £15million permanent move.
As Liverpool prepared to face West Ham at Anfield on Saturday, Rodgers opened up on why the burly target man had to go to make way for a formula that has helped Suarez shine.
World class: The in-form Liverpool forward Luis Suarez has thrived since Brendan Rodgers' arrival
The Liverpool frontrunner edged ahead of Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero as the Barclays Premier League’s top scorer with 13 goals after his stunning four-goal haul against Norwich on Wednesday.
Rodgers said: ‘My thinking was that, when you play with a target man, he becomes the focal point of your team, so everything has to be set up around the big guy. Sometimes you get sucked into doing it more direct, and clearly, with my history as a coach, I don’t work that way.
‘Removing that means you have to connect your game better through the lines, through the thirds. Possession is not good enough on its own, you have to penetrate. That’s what Luis does. He is always on the move, in spaces and in behind defenders.
Struggling for fitness: But West Ham striker Andy Carroll is nearing a first-team return
‘He can drift along the back line, he spins on the shoulder and he has got that freedom to do what he does best. You look at the goals he has scored in my time here, and not too many have been from whipped in crosses, which, to be fair, big Andy was brilliant at. The style has brought out Luis’ qualities.’
Meanwhile, Sam Allardyce fears no amount of planning will be able to shackle the ‘unstoppable’ Suarez.
The West Ham boss had two assistants at Anfield watching Suarez and, despite keeping the Uruguayan quiet as West Ham earned a 0-0 draw in the same fixture last season, Allardyce is concerned about another goal glut.
Key man: Luis Suarez even appears to have replaced Steven Gerrard as Liverpool's most important player
Contrasting views: Kenny Dalglish (left) felt Andy Carroll could be a key player, unlike Brendan Rodgers
‘However hard we plan and however much we do, a man of his talent — if he’s in that mood — is sometimes an unstoppable player.
‘However well we might master him, like we did last season, there still might be a bit of genius and brilliance that we just can’t stop.
‘He is a unique centre forward in this country in terms of the places he pops up in. If the central defenders think they’re going to mark Luis Suarez all game they won’t, because it will be the full backs sometimes or your centre midfield players.
Struggle: Despite costing £35million, striker Andy Carroll rarely impressed or look settled at Liverpool
‘If you can control him you’ve got a 50 per cent better chance of getting a result.’
Allardyce said he found it ‘extremely tough’ resisting the temptation to put Andy Carroll on the bench.
Carroll is training at the club’s Chadwell Heath base after his long-term ankle injury but Allardyce insists he will bring the striker back only when he can last the game.
‘In the position we’re in it’s extremely tough (to resist),’ he conceded. ‘I’d like to put him on the bench for Liverpool but that would be rather stupid.
‘We’ll do it as quickly as we possibly can but we’ll take a sensible view.’
