KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum What if Chelsea come for Suarez next year ....

I see your points, and am not going to argue further over them. In truth, perhaps some of the stuff I wrote in that post was not actually directed at the one I quoted - more your follow up to bigredkop's post considering he's added entirely too little to the discussion for someone to have played such a major part in it.

The "bigger club" idea gets bandied about quite a bit, and most people have their own particular interpretation of what it means. For example, I do not feel that Chelsea is a "bigger" club, because they have a smaller fan-base, and have not been more successful than Liverpool even in the last ten years outside actually winning the league. "Bigger" does not equate with "has a larger transfer budget". After all, they ran at a 70m pound loss last year, PRIOR to spending another 70m in the January window.

I can see how some players might view Chelsea as a better destination at present, but that might no longer be true at the end of the season. And the topic clearly states "next year". Suarez might have been looking for a way out of Ajax, but that doesn't imply he'll be looking for a way out of Liverpool.

And yes next year who knows where teams will be finishing, but Chelsea still look the more attractive club right now to the rest of the world, and I can't base my argument on what might happen. Should Liverpool finish far above chelsea and heavily invest again, I would certainly reassess who was the more attractive destination.

One point you have put well though, truly a diamond in the rough of your post of attacking people by putting words in their mouth and isolating small points, expanding upon them just to try and win an argument (as someone described perfectly), is that I may perhaps be too willing to tar suarez with the same brush as many other players who move for perceived more immediate glory.
