KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum What would you sell Suarez for?

I'd be as devestated as the next fan if we do lose Suarez in the summer, but just for a bit of discussion, what would you sell him for?

For me it'd have to be a player plus cash type deal to ensure we get some real quality in to replace him.
If he were tto go to Bayern, maybe a swap deal involving Gomez, Badstuber, or Martinez?

If we were to sell Suarez and get in Gomez, Badstuber or Martinez, and Eriksen (not saying all 3 from the Suarez money, and i know even then that isn't realistic) I think I'd be happy with our summer transfers, though obviously disappoint to lose Suarez.

So how much/who would you trade Suarez for if we had to let him go?

I shudder to think if we got 60m for suarez and comolli/dalglish are going to spend it.

Not that I think there's any chance that he wants to leave yet, but wasn't it confirmed that there IS a £40m release clause? So in answer to the question, I'd sell him for £40m - there's no choice in the matter.

Suarez to RM for Alonso, Benzema or Higuian and £20m

£20m for Erikson

Suarez - OUT

Alonso -IN
Benzema / Higuian - IN
Erikson - IN

That should soften the blow a bit. Could even make us a better team in fact.

Confirmed by who?

The £40m clause allows a club to start the bidding process / discussion, If Bayern came in as well as RM. The fee could be nearer £50m in total.

Can't see Ben or Hig coming here tbh.

are we able to turn down an offer of 40mil? Even if another team bids 50?

I think the way that FSG have worded the clause allows for the player to speak to clubs who offer £40m but the club can refuse the offer if higher bids come in.

It's basically the minimum he would leave for but allows a bidding contest to take place.

Not even sure if it's legally binding though? Surely the player, In this case Suarez can refuse say Bayern's deal at say £45m but agree to RM at £40?

Bit confusing to be honest, But I'm sure the player will win whatever the outcome.

Yeah I would have thought if a club meets the release clause, it's down to the player to decide which club he goes to (or stay put), regardless of one paying more than the other
