Atletico found a way to be better, thanks to Simeone, without Falcao. Rodgers, who is far more important to Liverpool than Suarez, will hopefully do the same.

Falcon was a highly effective cog in a well functioning team, he is a fairly one-dimensional player. He got one assist in that season. Suarez was an attacking, winning machine, a player basically impossible to stop because he can hurt you in so many ways. It will be very interesting to see how the likes of Sturridge and Sterling perform without Suarez. Not to mention the assists Suarez provides, but the confidence he inspires and the space he makes for others purely because he attracts so much attention will be something they will have to manage without. Costa came in and had at least as good as a season as Falcao (probably better to be honest). Now nobody saw that coming to be fair but it was always possible as Falcao didn't set the bar insanely high. It's hard to predict things in football but I will have no problem predicting that no one will come close to matching the output, the performances and the importance of Suarez next season. Unless we sign Ronaldo or Messi it simply won't happen!

With it coming out today that a deal has been in place since last november and Liverpool trying to back out (when they saw how good he was playing) that again points to a much lower fee than reported. And if barca pay cash I would be very surprised, staggered deal over 5 years.

All the reliable journos are saying £70-80M, and yet, some wish to take the word of the fecking Spanish media.
