    Why will Liverpool lose Suarez?

    All this talk of teams strengthening to finish above Liverpool makes me laugh, do people not realise that Liverpool will also strengthen?

    Because Real get what Real want. They will come in with a blank cheque and offer stupid money for Suarez. Especially now that they lost the league, even more so if they lose the CL final as well.

    Have you forgotten that Suarez wanted to leave last year already. Ye have CL football next year but the personal reasons for him wanting to leave are still there. Liverpool aren't going to turn down a huge offer and Suarez isn't going to turn down the chance to play for a quality Madrid team.

    Liverpool will strengthen but unlikely they will find someone of Suarez's quality so soon. Without that quality, Liverpool become an average team again.

    I think a few posters have started doing it but if I remember correctly it was FutureGuy who made it popular around the Mata transfer.

    I stand to be corrected.

    And the small matter of building a new stadium.

    Well, I think that may be further down the line. They have to get their house in order during the upcoming year in terms of finances. They will feel the wrath of UEFA if they don't turn a profit.

    Anyone know more about this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,369 ✭✭✭UnitedIrishman


    Regarding transfer fees - who cares what the club pays for players? I certainly don't as long as it doesn't impact on ticket prices etc.

    As the United man in that famous Youtube rant said about the Glazers - start spending money. And proper money. Because it's our money, not their money.

    I really don't care if we pay 27m for Shaw because we need him, he's an excellent talent and has tons of potential. Buy quality and not quantity (although of course we have needs at CM, CB and the wings).

    80/90m for Suarez on top of the 60m reported before would buy a lot of talent. Saying that, I still wouldn't sell him for that money.

    So,no Reus.Aren't Barca selling Alexis Sanchez? He'll do.

    It's not for you to decide. I reckon the L'pool board would sell for a lot less. 50m even.

    A huge wedge of that would be needed to replace Suarez.

    50m would be laughed at. They laughed at 40m last summer remember?

    50m from Madrid and any sign Suarez wants to go and he's gone I reckon.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,762 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    not sure if this has been posted already, but we conceded 43 goals this season, exactly the same as when we won the league last season.

    22 goals less scored though is the obvious problem....f*ck all goals from midfield/support players when Rooney and RVP were injured.

    Fellaini and Kagawa while not playing huge games would be expected to score at least one goal! Welbeck to his credit did step up this season.

    Midfield return was awful last season as well though, defenders scored more than midfield players if Kagawa was classed as a forward in 12/13, this season the defenders had three league goals combined, 14 the previous season.

    Ita clear that Uniteds midfield has underperformed the last couple of years.

    Not been discussed I don't think but would anyone be upset with Carrick leaving?

    His form this season has been woeful even factoring Moyes as manager, age not on his side.

    Is it time for much needed freshness, younger legs, a new face??

    Or is the Kew losing his mind?

    doesn't matter what u reckon.He won't go for anything under 70m.
    Real are after Pogba so I think Suarez will stay at Liverpool.

    You're not losing your mind. I wouldn't lose any sleep if we sold him. He's been dreadful at times. The main thing is that he's too slow on the ball. He just slows everything down.
    A younger, more vibrant and ambitious player would be quite refreshing.

    Real could fund a ridiculous bid for Suarez if needed by selling one of their many stars like Benzema or DiMaria who an english club would pay big money for.

    Selling one of them for 30+million and bidding for Suarez with 80million is exactly what they did last year with Bale.

    €60m buys 3 average players? That's some expensive shopping you are doing.

    People still seem to link the cost of a player to their actual effectiveness.
    Daft stuff altogether.
    There will be plenty bargains out there just as there will be plenty turkeys going around for north of 20 million.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,828 ✭✭✭gosplan


    Is that 27 million for Shaw thing reputable?

    If so, I'm doubting the ability of Ed Woodward.

    I wouldn't mind DiMaria being thrown in as part of any transfer for Suarez, Jese too.

    Did spending £27m on Fellani not do that for you already? What about hirng David Moyes, not even register a blip on the inept-o-meter? :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,437 ✭✭✭redbaron_99


    I think Suarez will push for a move again. He wanted out last season, and I doubt he's changed his tune much over the last twelve months. If he pushes hard enough, Pool will be forced to sell at a lower price. I could see Mardid getting him for 60M.
    That money could then offset the losses the club is making. :)

    Leaving yes, not in the first team I wouldn't mind at all. Like Evra United were too reliant on him the past few seasons. He looks wrecked

    Id agree totally Kew. Never really took to him but he had a couple of decent seasons without ever being in the same league as Keane, Scholes, Ince or Robson. More in the Ray wilkins / Neil Webb bracket


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,740 ✭✭✭✭MD1990


    That doesn't make much sense.
    50-60m for Pogba they won't have enough money for Suarez then.

    So was Ronaldo and so was Bale but every player has a price if the player wants the move. And he defo would want the move. Suarez will not be at Liverpool for more than another year imo.
