I do hope we keep him, would be amazing to see him lift the title with Liverpool

Without him it's a top 4 challenge.

That's my simplistic view of it anyway.

Unless of course it's a swap deal with Messi.

This is the way I'd see it too.

I'd actually have us as a decent enough outside bet for the title with Suarez.
I'd have us as slight outsiders for the top 4 without Suarez.

If we sold Suarez and got Sanchez as part of the deal I would love us to try and test Dortmund's resolve for Reus.

If Suarez goes then we need to bring in someone with a consistent goal threat. If not, we'll have regressed, no matter who else we sign. Sanchez may be that person, the others above are not.

The likelihood is that we will regress regardless of who is brought in unless it is Messi, Ronaldo, Aguero or Zlatan.

But point should be to minimize the loss by improving the squad as a whole rather than an over reliance on one player. Sturrdige has had a good season last year as well so he should become the main focus of the Liverpool attack now and you would hope that Sterling continues to improve. If those other players are added then a strogn squad emerges to compete on all fronts IMO.

I am a lot more cautious about Sanchez really. He has had a good world cup but he didnt set La Liga alight for Barca. You may argue that was because he was playing second fiddle to Messi but he should still shine if he has the quality. Sturridge is likely to become the main man at Liverpool next season too. Sanchez has had a good world cup but I'd temper the expectations of him a little.

If Liverpool add Lallana, Sanchez, Shaqiri and Markovic to Sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho, Lambert and Borini then they should be decent options for the attacking triumvirate even allowing for Lallana/Coutinho to be played as midfielders.

With the Suarez cash I would like to see another dynamic CM added to replace Lucas and then ensure that the Moreno deal gets wrapped up as well a centre half and possibly a replacement for Johnson as well

But the defence needs to be improved for me so I'd like to see some activity happening on that front.

Is CM more complex, you have to have immense football intelligence to be a CF imo, more than any other area on the pitch, you always have your back to the play and have to make the right runs all the time dealing with being man marked in Suarez case. Awesome player, best I've seen in a red shirt

But we genuinely don't know how we would have done without Gerrard, who we might have spent the money on. Maybe we would have signed someone like Vidic, who we were rumoured to have looked at. Or Berbatov before he went to Spurs. Or re-signed Owen, and maybe gotten a few good years out of him?

Likewise, we don't know what will happen here. If we lose him, and we sign Sanchez and Shaqiri (Lallana is alerady done), we bring in a lot of goals and creativity. Maybe not relying so much on one player would be better...

if ye get those two players not too bad, but when we sold ronaldo it became obvious replacing what he does on the pitch damn near impossible. suarez has the panic factor for defenders nobody looks comfy marking him.

I have to disagree there. At that stage, Stevie was among the top 5/6 CMs in the worls. Very few players could patrol that area of ther pitch so effectively, he single-handedly won games from all kinds of bad scenarios, and scored a good number of goals.

But because CM is a more complex position that CF, people have differing opinions. But at the time he was lauded by many as possibly the best box to box CM out there...

Elsewhere Sammy Lee has done the dirt on Hyppia and joined Southampton.

Not quite imo.

Gerrard was playing for his boyhood club and always seemed to be 100% Liverpool.

Think we always kind of knew Suarez would be off at some stage once Madrid or Barcelona came in.

In terms of quality alone, Suarez will be a bigger loss than Gerrard would have been back then. Suarez is one of the top 3 players in the world, Gerrard was never at that level.

Soft Falling Rain

People need to relax. All this "we're ****ed if he leaves" is way OTT. We'd be in a perilous situation but one that doesn't guarantee disaster, it all depends on the money involved and the players bought with it.

Of course, to bat off those of you prone to hysterics before I say this I have to put in this Disclaimer: I'm not saying these players were on the same level as Suarez.

But there was life after Michael Owen. There was life after Fernando Torres. And there will be life after Luis Suarez.

Dunno about that, his form dramatically improved as soon as Hodgson left - scored 4 under Dalglish in his month under him (5 really, but one was incorrectly ruled out against Fulham).

But totally agree that Suarez leaving would be much worse. He's 2 top class players in 1.

He broke his a**e in that month to get his move. No other explanation needed.

He can shove his letter up his hole for all I care. It's cash we want if he goes, not a ****ing letter

That was just a blip, as evident by his form before and since.

Ha, I think I'll pass on any more Suarez literature, if the last two releases have been anything to go by. He'll end up asking for thanks.

It'll be tough but not that bad , club will buy more and move on.

Happened before and will happen again.

Torres leaving has thought me not to be emotionally affected by footballers leaving anymore.

Also, it appears that Suarez is trying to engineer a move away for the 2nd season in a row now and I think we can do without that.
