It feels nice to say that no man is greater than the team or club. That is if you are successful.
in this age (as opposed to the eighties) LFC is not successful in terms of competing with the major world clubs on the playing field.
So this no longer applies to any world standard players who play for Liverpool in the current era.
In past days a great player could achieve his full potential and win trophies with LFC. Even good and average players (like Sammy Lee) could be a part of a dominant squad and achieve career success.
But lads those days are gone.
Suarez did carry the team for most of last season and it cuts me to say so.
But to stand on a pedestal and lecture to the world that any player must bow to the majesty that is Liverpool is folly indeed.
Suarez has shown to be dis-respective to the club in the press, and has also shown he is a rare talent.
So if he leaves, i say fair enough. I also say Liverpool is not a successful team domestically and on the European Stage and doesn't look to be in the next two years minimum.
If Suarez is to go, then I don't see it as a case of "the club is bigger than the player" its a case of "most of the 11 men on the pitch representing LFC" no longer comprise a powerhouse in world football. So fair enough. World class players don't belong here until LFC's first 11 is world class again.

I'd join Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern, etc but I seriously wouldn't leave for Arsenal... They haven't invested this Summer, the same as always and at best they will only come 4th, if your leaving to win trophies then you wouldn't go to Arsenal surely, when was the last time they won something? I think I would be tempted to do the same as you unless Arsenal gave me a good wage increase

Can't see Arsenal paying more wages than us and he wouldn't be gauranteed CL football. Imagine if he joined Arsenal and they finished 5th.
I think he'll stay until next season when someone else will come in for him from Europe.
Our summer signings so far will have convinced him he won't get CL football anytime soon I'm afraid. FSG need to show intent, not just improving the balance sheet and squad depth.

As I said, I would have moved to Arsenal only for higher wages. However, Arsenal is already better than us, with our best player, they will get stronger and us weaker, the gap will widen, so we will have a better chance of finishing 7th or lower than them finishing 5th. This is easier to imagine

True, Arsenal with LS would be uncatchable for us. I just can't see us being that stupid...
