seems like a good replacement to the rodent Suarez, probably a good deal for FSG too, they can sell him for about 45 million and buy this feller for about 22 and pocket the difference, FSG get money, the player gets to sign for us with a decent sign on fee and Suarez gets his move to the gooners, everyones a winner... The way I look at things, I will never be able to see you as a winner ;p Let's bash FSG if they don't invest, let's bash them if they do. Let's all hate the owners, because we can,! Life is good where I am sitting.... Must be quite depressing being so negative...it's all sunny here in Serbia. don't think its a place that's ever been sunny has it.

That's fair enough, but he is quite good really and quite mental. However I don't think he is intended as a replacement for Suarez. Only problem could be obtaining a work permit for him.

Take a gander and you tell me: http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Belgrade+Serbia+SRXX0005Seems like you have Serbia confused with Siberia, not surprising. Seems your knowledge of world geography is as good as your football knowledge.

The reason that Diego Costa's purchase wouldn't affect the future of Luis Suarez is because, and quite obvious to anyone that has watched us under BR, he has not proven to be a clinical striker.
He has done a very good job this season, but despite his best efforts, he has struggled to put away the non-clear chances. His record with clear-cut chances is brilliant, but he chooses, albeit excepting for spectators, to try and go it alone far more than he should do for the good of the team.
Rodgers wants his 4-3-2-1 to do much more this season. He has implemented the rotating midfield trio, which'll put more pressure on every player there to defend, support or attack. He has taken the steps to hopefully sign an aggressive ball-playing centre-back in Papadopolous (& Toure for that matter), which'll allow for better control of possession than we managed with Carragher or Skrtel. Some people have suggested that this might transpire in attack but that isn't so. What Rodgers appears to want to do is alternate where the wide-man and second striker play, and this is where Suarez, to the best of my belief, will prosper.
His willingness to try to get past players will prove useful. But he will ultimately always have a guy ahead of him, and being able to play through balls may help reap more assists from him, that could prove more valuable, especially when it is likely that he may struggle to match the same goal-scoring exploits from a slightly deeper position. Not only that, the constant switching of positions will allow him lots of space infield to roam, and that is where Suarez can be at his best, and most unpredictable.
Diego Costa appears to be a top player. Linked with Arsenal just over a month and a half ago, he has all the attributes needed to suit our style. His strength, pace, athleticism will prove great to hold up the ball, delay play for onrushing counters, and play behind the defence when necessary. His first touch is good (much better than Carroll's ever was for example) and he can play with either foot, as well as his head. He has also got a steeliness, and an aggression to his play, and much like Suarez will chase down lost causes and turn them into attacks. Don't let his bad reputation desuade you, he strikes fear in defences more for his ability, than for the loss of control he suffered in the Madrid Derby.
I broke the news of this yesterday, and I really hope this comes off.

So we're finally liked with a quality marquee signing that people have been crying for & everyone bemoans FSG even though every single report states that he's absolutely not considered a replacement for Suarez. You just can't win with some people, the negativity is sickening.
Perhaps It's Borini whos head is on the chopping block, after all he has looked fairly poor in preseason.
I believe most people are calling out for a centre back & a left winger and in the last few days we've been heavily linked with moves for both (the Benfica guy and Popa) so that's surely a good sign.

I would really like us to get this guy hes strong and very fast and his conversion rate is really high so he knows were the net is.
People saying he didnt score that many last season he scored 20 in 44 i believe and most of his games he was playing from the left wing with falcao through the centre,
also although he is a bit nuts most of the things he does is to wind up defenders wich seems to work for the guy and he was only sent off once last season so we will probably get more games out of him than suarez i would love to see him upfront with suarez and sturridge\aspas.
