I think hes holding out for the phone call from Liverpool begging him to come back.

I'm not a Liverpool fan.

If you think this incident will have a baring on any potential decision process he has to make with Chelsea your crazy.

Yeah, even though Chelsea as a whole have nothing to be ashamed of, it's upsetting to hear such a loud chant.

Also, if Luis Suarez wants to play in the Olympic Games the club has to (really, really has to) grant his request. Playing for his country is clearly very important, and I would hate if an Irish footballer was denied such an opportunity.

Somebody should have a word in his ear and discourage him from going, mickey mouse competition.

Cup finals I can remember us losing.

1985 European Cup - Didn't realise the real horror of the occasion at the time as I was only 8.
1987 Littlewoods Cup - First time we lost when Rushie scored in his last game before moving to Italy.
1988 FA Cup - I still can't believe to this day that we lost that game.
1996 FA Cup - This one hurt almost as much as the memory of those white suits.
2005 League Cup - Less memories of this than the games above mostly.
2007 European Cup - Devastated. Made the trip and thought we were the better team.

Have there been other final disappointments in that time frame other than those? Obviously I could check the records to be sure, but off the top of my head unless I've blanked them out I don't think so. Not a bad record considering the ones we did win.

Wow Dom - you're really getting on huh?

We have an extraordinary record in Cup finals really. There is something special about this club and the big game. Our record in European competition during 2000 - 2010 was very special indeed. So many times we won ties we really shouldn't have on paper.

Chelsea know who we are though, and have many players in their squad who have beaten us in the big game (CL Semi 2008, QF 2009). We'll be underdogs and will need to play very, very well to have a chance.

It's been a fun few weeks. Given how far we are off 4th spot, I'd happily give us some leage wins for a second trophy. 6th spot and 2 trophies would be a good season. And it's proves to the owners that we may have spent big, but we are still short of a few big players to complete for the top 4.

The season could have veen very different it Agger and Johnson hadn't gotten injured around the same time. The back 4 of them, Skittles and Enrique was working brilliantly. They looked solid and were bringing the best out in each other. Once Carra came back in, and Kelly/Flanno at RB, we took 2 steps back.

We can hope that that back 4 is our starting choice next season with a badly-missed Lucas in front, that's a very good base to build on...

The comments about Torres are reminding me of the Irish fans chanting "WHO" at Thierry Henry during the France vs Ireland play off match..

Suarez on 14 goals for the season. Again, could easily hit 20 in what has been a so-so year for him personally and for the club. Put him in a working team with a fluid attack and he will score bucket-loads. Seven assists this season too.

Not a bad return considering all the games he's missed.

He's still very raw imo, and when you consider the relatively easy chances he has missed this season I'd be confident he will score more next year.

Paul McCartney is doing a concert in Montevideo Uruguay right now.

He brought up Liverpool FC and Luis Suarez. Explosion of applause.

This is a joke yea?

Bad memory, ? Come on , All the years he was there he would be lost in games, Then only needed a chance, to break defenders hearts,
That's the man i remember, Its not a insult, its a compliment of how good a poacher he was, He would always get his chance in a game, and mostly taken them

You knew no matter how quite he was, He remained on pitch and could win it for you,
And played every game when fit,

Nope, that's all the defeats alright!

That Drenthe has serious disciplinary problems apparently, that's why he hasn't been playing lately at Everton. I like him when he fancies playing, but he's off the boil a lot. A 1 game in every 5 type player IMO.

If I was Liverpool I wouldn't even bother taking the risk.

Definately a spikey character, seems to be happy now he has achieved millionaire status aswell.

But he has undoubted potential. This is a signing that could make sense provided theres no transfer fee and wages are not obscene.

Light a fire under this guy and he could be superb.

Liverpool have a habit of buying guys who have overachieved. Spending big on the back of 1 or at a stretch, 2 decent seasons. Think of any player this season who has been good and no doubt we'll be linked to spending big money on them.

Sinclair, Sessegnon, Joe Allen, Ba etc...... all players who are at the peak of their powers. Possible overachievers and we'll bid more for them than they will ever be worth.

See Carroll, Henderson, Downing, Adam for further evidence of this.

Madrid have some amount of cast offs that are actually top class players. Lads who will not get within an asses roar of being first team regulars there. Players who can be world beaters at clubs where they can be treated like "the man".

Granero
Sahin
Albiol
Diarra
Canales
Drenthe
Gago
Pedro Leon

That above list is just for starters. I'd take Sahin and Canales in a heartbeat if they were available. Although Canales was unfortunate to do his cruciate whilst on loan at Valencia. He is definately a top class prospect though.

so what harm in keeping him instead of forking out another 10-20 mil for a back up? when that 10-20 mil plus some more could but us our new number 1 striker.

Well when you sell Carroll you can just use that money on a back-up striker.

yeah, but when league is priority you have to factor in two full cup runs.

don't get me wrong though...he has been one of our best this season, but this season didnt set that bar very high.

one thing for sure though, when that bar is raised, you can be sure suarez steps his game up too.

EDIT

Sorry I kinda glanced at your message...you pretty much said what i said.

Not really. Even look at the highlights video on the other page, not exactly many positive highlights. Most involves us hoofing the ball up to him and him trying to flick it on, that's not what I want to see us doing all the time. Apart from that he wasn't great, some good touches/flicks and some terrible ones in there aswell.

Not really. At the end of the day if the Yanks want CL football(bigger porfits) we won't be getting it with Andy Carroll as our main striker.

Obviously it would be nice to win it but the league game has little relevance on our season now.

The Cup Final is far more important. Season defining.

No arguments there but no reason why we can't win both

so do you see absolutely no good in keeping him? im not caught up in sentimental rose glasses here either. the man still has a lot to do. but surely a fa cup, 87th minute goal, against everton has bought andy a little more time.

Up until recently we'd have be doing well to even get £10m for him. Ideall we'll be able to get £15m for him if he continues scoring. Still probably unlikely though.
