Only when there is a better percentage chance to take. By this methodology all teams would try and pass it into the net like Arsenal at their most ineffectual. Sometimes a lower percentage shot is absolutely the right option.

Haha! I love how Rosco manages to wind you all up so much.
Suarez is awesome but then again, so is Rosco.

That may or may not be true, but I can't take it seriously without a comma after 'statistically'. Tut tut.
2 more assists and a clinical goal and could had more if he didn't try and set up Studge.
Suarez - making Ross look like a bigger fool every week

Even when he's average he's awesome.
Actually I'd prefer 10 games to go and 30 points needed. Personal records must always come after the team. I know, I know, I'm stating the obvious ;-)
Obviously, but he's so freakin close to that Shearer/Ronaldo record and he hasn't taken a single penalty.
I'd like nothing more as well. If we win it, he will break it.
62 goals in 100 premier league games ... Much like that other pathetic finisher we idolize, God.
Oh well, I hope those low percentage shots keep on going in!

Yeah he meant that from the corner, the outrageous bastard.
We should sell him.
Lol, it really does beggar belief.
Every Uruguayan child tries to score off corners because some national team legend did it years ago. My Uruguayan friend told me that years ago... I wonder whether that plays a part.
Did everyone else, like me, read this in a Bruce Lee voice?
If by Bruce Lee voice you mean my own slightly racist imagination of his accent then yes, yes I did
Surely you have heard Bruce Lee's voice?!
John W Henry made the following eye-popping remarks:
Luis Suarez is the top scorer in the English Premier League, which is arguably the top soccer league in the world. He had a buyout clause of £40m. Arsenal, one of our prime rivals – this year we’re tied for 2nd … we’re actually 2nd because of goal difference.
They offered £40m+£1. What we’ve found … is that contracts don’t seem to mean a lot in England – actually, in world football. It doesn’t matter how long a player’s contract is, he can decide he’s leaving.
We sold a player, Fernando Torres, for £50m, that we did not want to sell, we were forced to. Since apparently these contracts don’t seem to hold, we took the position that we’re just not selling [Suarez].
It’s been great for Luis, it’s been great for us, and what will happen at the end of the year I think we’re going to make the Champions League, we have a small chance of winning the Premier League this year.
We have 3 gentlemen up front Suarez/Sterling/Sturridge, [they] are young, I think Luis and those 3 could be together for a long time

FSG have been superb with their stance on Suarez, thank fuckety fuck they know the score on this subject.
Fuck me. So there actually was a clause. Yet the PFA said there was none. Makes no sense, unless Henry's trying to big the story up.
Luis Suarez is the kind of player you happily pay to watch.
luis Suarez is the kind of player who makes those unpredictable things.
I was so lucky to take my son to the Norwich game where he scored those 4 goals. This is an experience both of us will cherish for the rest of our lives.
I watched Kevin Keegan playing for us. I was a boy and I only watched match highlights from time to time + later Videos.
I watched the King playing for us quite a lot (on TV). He's my all time favourite player.
I watched Digger playing for us (again on TV) and adored him.
I watched Stevie playing for us (in person too)
I watched Torres playing for us (quite a lot on TV).
I think Luis Suarez is a better football player than all of them. I really hope he sticks with us long enough, wins trophies for us and become a legend, but regardless, for me he's the best of the lot in terms of footballing ability and talent.

I'm not sure it's as simple as "clause or no clause". My understanding even before now was that there was a clause, but that we said it committed us only to letting the player know of the other club's interest, as opposed to the argument from Suarez' agent (and the player himself at the time) that it committed us to letting him go. As I recall, the PFA's legal dept.looked at it and agreed with our view.
