even from non Liverpool supporters point of view it's a pity he decided to leave, world class players to watch week after week only come along once in a rare while

Lewis Swarez is basterd man. Sexy passes and attractive goal though.

Why ? Maybe hes just going to the final

~Rebel~

On the Brazil thing, not the risk we need right now, but i'm surprised noone has taken a chance on Ganso. Could get him pretty cheap, and he's just had a pretty decent 2013 (though has apparently had discipline issues since). Relocating outside of Brazil may force him to knuckle down though.

Working for ITV or BBC for the Final more than likely.

He's got it all wrong!
He's gone to personally oversee their medical (he bought a degree in medicine online so it's all good) and get them to sign a contract. Deals have already been made. Discussions started before the world cup.

Reports popping up that the Markovic deal is done and dusted, and that he has signed a five year contract.

25m euro is the fee being mentioned.

I'll have to unlike Suarez on Facebook... That profile picture breaks my heart...

Sad to see Luis Suarez depart Liverpool . No doubt he dragged the club through the mud . There's no way of condoning some of his antics . That said Barca in my eyes have got an absolute bargain. Guaranteed a born winner , a guy with unmatched tenacity. He has imagination like few others in the modern game and the ability to pull off what's in his imagination like a very select few .

Suarez won't/can't be directly replaced by Liverpool . Regardless of who comes in no single player will have the same impact or create the same fear in opposition teams. Liverpool were very close to winning the league last year but realistically a rejuvenated Barca will offer him a much better chance of success. I'd have loved if he stayed ... Liverpool was only ever a step on the ladder in getting to Barca/Real . He was never ever going to be "loyal" to the club despite standing by him etc. That selfish streak that made so many of us love him as a player also came to back to haunt Liverpool with his ambition clouding whatever loyalty he may have had for the club.

Having looked at the video of his goals it's harder to take in that he is gone. I do wish him well though . For the first time in many years as an LFC supporter there was a genuine belief that our side was one of if not the best side in league. He was a major part of that . For that I thank him.

Luis Suarez very definitely the good the bad and the ugly. Adios .

Im as distraught as the next fan over surarez but I am as ever hopefully optimistic, I think Lallanna will settle in no problem, can should give us a good option in midfield and hopefully a bit of steel too (he looks a bit of a unit) Lambert will be a good back up striker. Markovic is by all accounts a good player now with apparent ridiculous potential, have only seen an odd game or two but he fits the bill of a mobile quick attacker.
I think moreno is still on the cards and would be a quality addition, some people are baulking at the notion of him but i also think lovren will be a good addition too, if he hands in a transfer request it might knock a couple ofquid off his fee too.

Leaving us with a starting eleven (of which there are many variants)

---

mig
RB---Lovren--sakho--moreno

---

gerrard
----hendo

---

coutinho
markovic--sturridge---sterling

Rb is an issue, i am interested to see how wisdom fares and if kelly gets another chance, looks like johnson is staying unfortunately. The attackers are pacey and interchangeable with even more on the bench, next season will be a test of our squad so there will be plenty of games for everyone. Think lucas and agger will be the most senior players who will leave, few promising players to go out on loan too. Not a star studded team, but still a very good one on paper. I would still expect a few others to come in on top of it too.

Bony 20 million is a no brainer a quality footballer

djPSB

Suarez scored 11 PL goals in his first full season in the PL.

Bony scored 16 PL goals in his first full season in the PL.

Disclaimer; I am not for one minute suggesting that Bony is a better player than Suarez just merely pointing out the facts.

Suarez is a Boxer. Other players are lab retrievers, loyal, debendable, wee dotes, Suarez is the bull dog, Coutinho, Sturridge and Lallana are the wee terriors.

Agent Coulson

Gerrard as right back?

Then a midfield three from Can, Henderson, Lallana, Coutinho, Allen and A another.

Front three from Sterling, Markovic, Sturridge, Lambert, A another.

Victor Moses is the dog you get a loan of but you send back to its owner because it's not worth a fcuk.

@TonyEvansTimes We like to bring something up, your paper (Times) is using our story tonight without giving our reporters any credit. Poor.

Tony Evans ‏@TonyEvansTimes 5m
@indykaila OK. What story?

@TonyEvansTimes Tony, The whole Suarez saga. We don't mind your paper using our sources but at least credit us. Fair is fair.

I thought Rodgers established that they were all Chihuahuas?

Suarez is a huge loss.
When you look at the team now you see how bare and lacking in top quality it is. Gerrard is a year older. At the back I still don't think we have a world class player. From the goalkeeper across the back 4 none of them are world class. I haven't seen Lallana play for Soton so can't really comment. I saw him play for England and he looked confident without standing out. I think you need that self confidence when moving to a bigger club. I hope we can get in at least one top player or someone similar to Suarez when we bought him, whatever position.
It could be a lean year, similar to Spurs buying in lots of players just below the level needed and missing out on Champions League football. Hopefully some of the signings will turn out well. Even if the club could build a good defence over the season it would help. I fear Mignolet is not upto the required level so it will be interesting how the season works out. Hopefully another player will emerge from the academy.

€95m after already spending close to €50, we'll have some depth for the new season.

Ouch. Bobby Sands, Hughes etc. Lfc was always sympathetic to the Hunger Strikers, same as they were to the miners etc. I wouldn't be a fan of the hunger strikers (long story.) or Liverpool council in the early 80's, but as individuals, brave, brave men.

We've really only got Lallana for that 50m, need more players of that or better quality.
If kadheira(sp?) is free, we should go after him. We need extra protection in front of our back 4
