Good old sky sports news their too ashamed to talk about how poor their beloved England team are.

Great distraction.

Utopia Parkway · 25-06-2014 01:19PM

Watched 15 minutes of Sky Sports News. The moral indignation was wonderful. Managed to catch the thoughts of Martin Tyler, Terry Butcher and Sol Campbell.

kevohmsford · 25-06-2014 01:19PM

New thread. It has been a busy 24 hours in here. Hopefully Rodgers announces a new signing soon.

shano_88 · 25-06-2014 01:22PM

Robbie Fowler has his say.

Thommo doesn't usually speculate to such a degree over potential signings, does he? Apparently said on radio that Sanchez to Liverpool is near done or done.

Turtyturd · 25-06-2014 01:27PM

Good job Fowler doesn't make these decisions.

He said it was a done deal, no mention of Suarez going other way

Ya. He said this morning he heard it yesterday!

the problem is if this affects Liverpool. last season we stood by him, we seemed to rehabilitate him and reap the rewards, but we can't have him being banned for long stretches, that's the issue. not image, not anything else at all. is he going to miss football matches? that's all i care about, and all any reasonable Liverpool supporter should care about. this romanticised notion of "Liverpool are better than that", and "what would Shankly think?" or "that isn't what Liverpool stand for" is absolute fúcking nonsense of the highest order.

There's no way we can ensure this won't happen again, that's the problem. We can rehabilitate him, keep his nose clean, but that doesn't snuff out the possibility of a repeat offence.

I don't think he realises what he's doing until the deed is done, that is something that can't be relied upon.

I don't know what the answer is, but even if this doesn't effect the club this time around, questions are still going to have to be asked of him, as the next time he does something like this in an LFC jersey, then we're really ****ed.

It comes down to a gamble, simple as.

you take the moral high ground and ill take the low road and we'll be the worst fans beforrrre ya

obviously yesterday was surprising, but not shocking. can you really be shocked when he's done it twice before? the faux outrage from many is hysterical.

he's a lunatic, and there is no defence for his actions. there are reasons for what he does IMO (he's a screw loose, he hasn't grown up, he's still that child playing football on the rough streets in Uruguay) but there is no defence.

as long as what he does for Uruguay doesn't affect Liverpool, I honestly couldn't give a toss. people with a moral high ground can fúck off. there is none in football, and if you think there's one, you need to check yourself. yes, what Suarez did is beyond weird, and probably the sign of a crazy person, but it's no less moral than the multiple forms of cheating that go on all the time.

nobody can reasonably explain to me how what he did last night is worse than a leg breaking tackle, or elbow to the head, that has the sole purpose of hurting the opponent. we're slightly shocked by this because it's strange, that's all. he's not right in the head when it comes to his reactions to frustration. people don't chew other people, it's not normal. but it's no less violent than a lot of what goes on.

the problem is if this affects Liverpool. last season we stood by him, we seemed to rehabilitate him and reap the rewards, but we can't have him being banned for long stretches, that's the issue. not image, not anything else at all. is he going to miss football matches? that's all i care about, and all any reasonable Liverpool supporter should care about. this romanticised notion of "Liverpool are better than that", and "what would Shankly think?" or "that isn't what Liverpool stand for" is absolute fúcking nonsense of the highest order.

the club exists to win football matches. if what Luis does affects that, then decisions have to be made. if not, he can bite whoever the fúck he likes for Uruguay, as mental and weird as it is.

I've been saying all this both last night and today, only not quite as concise or as well put, and probably with a lot more sarcasm.

Fair play, and fully agree.

Pyjamarama · 25-06-2014 01:42PM

Maradona was mental. A complete head case and did stuff just as bad on the pitch and much worse off. I'd still never sell him.

At 28.30 he talks about it http://newstalk.ie/player/listen_back/5/10851/25th_June_2014_-_Breakfast_Part_3

Sanchez would a huge signing. Hopefully we can sign him but it will be difficult.

On the pitch? Nowhere near as bad.

Off the pitch, Luis seems almost a model citizen...

Agent Coulson · 25-06-2014 01:57PM

I don't know how good SkyBet are for there odds but they now have us at 1/1 to sign Sanchez.

Maradonna sparked a spectacular on the pitch brawl at Barcelona that trumps anything Suarez has done........so far.

Augmerson · 25-06-2014 02:01PM

Now...are we signing Sanchez as a compliment or a replacement to a certain player?

kevohmsford · 25-06-2014 02:03PM

Sanchez is the kind of player we really need. Would be an amazing signing.

Diego was nuts on the pitch. There just wasn't the blanket coverage there is now. Read any decent (I.e. Unbiased) biography about him and it'll reveal all. He'd zero qualms about tackling a knee cammy style!

Agueroooo · 25-06-2014 02:05PM

Man City may have entered the race for Sanchez according to The Daily Star.

if true, good luck.

OwaynOTT · 25-06-2014 02:07PM

I'm gutted, disgusted and one could even say devastated by what I've seen on this thread in the last 24 hours.
It's a massive disappointment to me as a Liverpool fan.

I didn't make it into the top poster list! I was going so well and was carrying on the momentum from the second half of the thread previous to the last thread. Had a so so start but I really hit form around Christmas and looked likely to be in the top posters thread in th closing moments of the season.
But then the season ended and I capitulated and dropped out of the top poster thread.
But I would like to think that, like the turd, I contributed in the match threads hugely which may make up for this failure.

Replacement, I'm assuming. I thought that before this kicked off I should say.

NEW-Varane-Sakho-Moreno

Gerrard

Hendo-Lallana

Sterling

There is no money in those markets so the odds can change at the drop of a hat. not really an accurate barometer

Sanchez would be a decent addition but only if Suarez remains at Liverpool.

With rumours that Falcao is going to Real Madrid then it would suggest that Barca are his only possible destination really.

If we are going in for Sanchez to replace Suarez then I'd imagine John Henry will go all in because we really need a quality replacement. We might beat City to him in such a case. City don't need him anyway ffs.

what are you talking about? sure nobody will want Suarez now you see, because he'll destroy the reputation of the club.

come on lad, think about it. he's done. he's a broken docket. no team will want him now. Liverpool should get rid, giving our world class player to whoever is stupid enough to want the "burden" of him at their club.

poor Manchester City, Barca, Madrid, PSG or whoever manages to get him.

Grayditch · 25-06-2014 02:22PM

Sanchez? What did he do?!
