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.

Spurs were turgid throughout AVBs first season. Bale constantly got them out of jail.

This, by the way, continued after Bale was sold and up until AVB was sacked.

I think their players were vastly overrated on here

The players Spurs signed were quality on paper. A few of them were certainly wanted by plenty of pool fans

I don't think Barca would have him after this bite incident?

Real Madrid? Maybe, but I don't think Barca can afford him either....

They can afford him with Sanchez thrown in. And he can take Puyol and Sanchez's wages!

What a front 3 that would be be....

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

Keep Victor Moses.

Would be Rodgers best bit of business this summer.

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.

It's a fair concern but I think spurs problems were also down to being like a greedy kid in a sweetshop with the money they got. You could equally look at the example of Juve selling Zidane and replacing him rather effectively withe Nedved.

Have some totally original thoughts on why AVB would be a good fit for us...might stick them up in a while.

There's nothing to suggest a lot of those wouldn't have flourished under Rodgers.

Rubbish article imo. I read the whole thing and the writer failed to acknowledge one simple fact its his 3rd time doing it, he hasn't learned.

Comparing to one off worse incidents and rugby is just burying your head in the sand.

If someone else with no previous bit someone it wouldn't be looked on as strongly, that is what the hysteria is about, the sheer disbelief that the idiot has done it for a 3rd time.

martingriff

Suarez without doubt is one of our best players however last season we have showed others can step up Sturidge as an example. It was the Same with Gerrard we could not afford to be without him but last year when he was out we actually played good football and win without him.

Is Suarez goes then we can adapt and get way to win. With the money we get from him we could back great player. Improve the defense then we do not have to score loads of goals per game just to win but for fun.

When Torres, Fowler, Owen were at there best we were saying the same things but we moved on an got other players and we will again

How can it be sheer disbelief when its the third time? Disbelief is the first, and perhaps shock at 2nd. The third is mere momentary surprise, at best.

And he never said it wasn't wrong, or that Suarez shouldn't be banned. He simply stated that 2 years wouldn't fit the crime and gave some perspective through other incidents.

There is no way we can afford to cash in on Suarez. We will not be able to replace him.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any of those 3 were playing at the level Suarez currently is at the times they left the club so replacing them wasn't as big a task as replacing Luis would be

ratracer

I'm still a Suarez fan boy.....come on back Luis, have a chat with Bren, drink some of your funny tea stuff, and then wipe the floor with Premier League and Champions League defences,

Everyone else will like you again soon.....;)

Replacing Suarez would be akin to attempting to replace Gerrard in 05 if he had left.

You can't replace, so you adapt.

31 PL goal

12 PL assists

its going to take something else to adapt if/when we have to replace that.

What heinous crime could Luis Suarez have committed to prompt such a response from two players who were not exactly shrinking violets on the field?

He bit someone.

He didn't just bite someone - he bit someone after previously being found guilty of biting 2 other players. This was not something done in the heat of the moment, he knew what he was doing as he's done it twice before. People seem to want to pass this off as an isolated incident but it's not.

Do we need some perspective? When former players like Mills and Shearer are calling for such major punishments then we probably do but lets not down play this as one person biting another person in a moment of spontaneity either.

Sanchez is well capable of stepping up and putting up quite similar numbers MHO.

Not all these examples are exact successions but you get my drift

Keegan - Dalglish
Dalglish - Rush
Rush - Aldo
Rush (cos he came back!) - Fowler
Owen - Torres
Torres - Suarez
Suarez - Sanchez (?) 19 goals and 11 assists last season in la Liga

Liverpool always find another great forward.

Going by the comment section the article went over most people's heads.

You can't talk down an angry mob.

Of course it was. I've never heard of him biting people outside of football.

It's the red-mist descending. Alan Shearer kicks people in the head. Luis Suarez bites.

It's not pre-meditated

Grayditch

I refuse to acknowledge anything reported on Sanchez. I will not be pr**kteasted about this one, no sir.

ratracer

Why should previous actions come into it? Luis was punished and served his sentences for those already. When other players get red cards, are previous charges taken into account?

Nuri Sahin

Also, Sanchez would thrive in our style of football more than Barca's tiki taka malarkey, always believed taht. The Udinese player was just devastating on the counter playing either side, just off or even in front of Di Natale.
