The Summer of Suarez

[Mystic]

Juve won't sell Vidal surely, he's been brilliant this Season.

Anyways I think what the article is trying to say is that the proposed €30M raised from selling Vidal would be moved towards the transfer of Suarez. As in they have X amount of cash ready but would need the futher €30M to meet his valuation?

Well the articles before were suggesting €30M as the fee as well, so I actually think that's how much they think he'll go for, just because the lure of the mighty Juve will be too much for us.

Van Persie, at 29 years of age with and 1 year left on his contract, is worth £24m (close to €30).
Suarez cost us the same amount two years ago and since then has become one of the best attacking players in the world.
Easy to see how Juve are controlling the press.
LFC should be doing the same thing, with a 'source' claiming LFC will only do business at £80m

He'll get tapped up, become unsettled, go into dispute, claim someone at the club went back on a promise and that the truth will out eventually, then we'll be forced to either accept a (semi) derisory offer or pay him to sit in Lucas' lving room watching daytime telly with Coates.
All this 80M talk is nonsense. Someone's going to engineer a very good deal for him I reckon. Hope not like.

I reckon he goes all out to beat his daughter at tiddlywinks as well.

The talk is always about the magical world of the Champions League, as if any team in it is worth signing for, but the reality is, unless you play in it for one of a tiny few clubs capable of making the quarter finals, it's a boring, over-hyped, bloated pile of crap. Loads of players play in it each year, for a few inconsequential games, and I bet they don't have a single decent memory of it. The group games are usually so dire that unless you go far beyond them there's not much point apart from the view of the club accountants. If a genuinely great club, with serious prospects of winning it, come in for Suarez, he'll be a fool not to consider them, and if he wants to go he should be let go. If any of the other many clubs in the competition come in for him, he's looking at a delayed return to the dreaded Europa League and loads of domestic upheaval.

While that's all true, we won it in 2005 with a vastly inferior squad to many other teams in the competition. That's the kind of shit that gives all players hope. Of course, the dream is usually snuffed out fairly early for most of them, but it's no doubt reborn the following year. It's the nature of footballers and fans to assume that next year will be their year, and playing in the Champions League gives them a chance to dream. It's obviously a cliche, but you have to be in it to win it (and indeed, dream it).

Looks like he won the ball to me.

We lost what $45M this year? unless you want us to become a selling club, we have to be back in it. And with our history, and mentality, we'll always rise to the occasion. PLUS, you will always have the Downings of the World on your team when you are in the Europa. It'd be nice for a change for the old days, when we would decide when you leave or go, Not the actual player.
