Liverpool Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 *mod warning linked in OP 26/07*

I think a six match International only ban will be getting off lightly.

FIFA will be accused of lacking bite on this matter.

Do gooders want his blood.

i don't know what the club is supposed to say tbh.

they should keep schtum until he's back in Liverpool, at the very earliest. and if he never comes back (i.e. he does go to Barca/Real), then we never have to comment.

Im a bit worried nobody from the club have shown support for luis. I think he may be off to spain

What's to support? F*cking stupid thing to do.

Suarez is off to Barca IMO.

Also, cant see how the club could come out in support of the player really at this stage.

Lastly, i have a growing fear that the club is not looking to improve the squad from last season really. Lambert & Can need to be joined by the likes of Moreno, Sanchez, Lallana, Lovren without losing Suarez in order for their to be progress on the squad IMO

I think the players we're after of the Sanchez/Shaqiri ilk are mostly at the World Cup. The international window doesn't open until July anyway. I'd imagine there's a few targets in mind but we're going to do business later in the summer.

Get the feeling that Liverpool might actually be relieved if Barcelona or Real come in with a bid that triggers a move. If a lucrative offer arrives in the next few weeks, I am convinced Suarez will be playing his football somewhere else next season

Someone was reading Jamie Carragher's article.

Of course they are, Henry and Co will know better than anyone that the CL is the golden goose and to stay there they need to improve the squad. Rodgers will made it abundantly clear we have only about 15 players of any real quality.

Selling Suarez and bringing in 3 top players in his place would be improving the squad, while we wont be able to get a single talent better than him it would still be progress.

Rogers will want quality over quantity in the event Suarez is sold, the board will be all too aware of the trap Spurs fell into last season and going out buying a new team. At the end of the day the only decent player they bought was Eriksen out of £90m.

Club should give him a new car and a birthday cake...I know it's not his birthday but yay support.

Or they should do what"football" fans deem to be the right move a pay Barcelona to take him.

Listen if the club sells Suarez, Liverpool won't be as good next season. It almost doesn't matter who we sign with the money (within reason obviously). He's that good.

Not a Liverpool fan but this is spot on. If we learned one thing from Spurs it's that you won't get away with selling your star players, full stop.

But that's not the approach they took. The signed players that THEY believed were good enough. And on paper, they were. Soldado, Capoue, Lamela and Paulinho were all players we would have liked as well. And some of them may still come good. But they changed too much too quickly, we won't make that mistake cause we don't need to, at least not in attack...

The difference is, Spurs sold there top asset in the hope they could build a squad to finish in the Top 4. We retained our best asset who got us into the Top 4. We have CL football to offer any target, while it doesn't give us the key to the best players in the world, we can go on a level from the players Spurs signed.
