IF and it's a big if, Suarez stays at Liverpool for another season, we'll need to secure a top four finish if we're going to have a chance of keeping him at Anfield long term and that's going to require major investment from the owners (which isn't likely). If he doesn't leave this summer, my guess is he will leave the following summer, all that matters is what we do with the money we get for him.

The owners will tell us that our biggest signing next season will be keeping Suarez.

if we sell carroll as well for £20 odd million and £40 million for Suarez the Red sox will be flying next season ..Happy days!Used to anticipate the transfer window,now I dread it.

Ha ha unfortunately though it might not be a joke.

This was more of a passing info on than a "yay suarez is staying - look the boss said so".

If you question me again Ssuussoo i'll be forced to hurt you!

Suarez has also very recently stated that he wants to become an honorary scouser! I still believe we have at least one more season with him and if we make top 4 then even longer.

The disappointing thing about these BR quotes in today's paper is that nowhere does he say that we intend to match the ambitions of players who want and deserve to play in the Champions league.

"Is he deserving of playing at that Champions League level? Of course he is but I would be confident enough that he will be here because he is enjoying his football. This is a club that he loves. He is enjoying working this way. If we can keep supporting him and getting the team moving forward then he seems happy and content. Hopefully we continue to keep a great player like that."

You might be able to keep a top player on this basis for so long. He could've gone last summer and we'll be luck if he stays for next season. But at some point you have to say somthing like 'we aim to be in the CL hence we believe Luis can go on to fulfill that ambition here very soon, albeit not next season'.

It seems we're not making a statement of intent at all, either because the manager/owners are too scared to set high expectations in case they fail or because they don't believe they can achieve such goals.

Yeah when I read that part of was a bit dissappointed with the response, as you say seems to be no intent.

And if he comes out and says that and we don't make it then who's the one who gets shot? Why bother making statements like that in public when I'm sure that the club has its own agenda internally and they have set their goals accordingly!
