And another thing! I don't want BR telling everyone we've built a team around a player that he's currently lambasting in public. How is that good? If that's not putting Suarez on a pedastal, I don't know what is.

If Suarez leaves, I presume the journalists may well be asking along the lines of '...do you think you lost that game because your sqaud was assembled around a player you couldn't keep?'

To me that threatens to put the club into disrepute in a way that the crass nonsense from Suarez could never do.

I think the club should say nothing more about the whole business until after he has either left or the window has closed. I can put up with the silence more than I can stomach one of our players playing verbal ping pong with the manager.

Just believe the opposite of what gnp uk tells you, and then you have the truth.

I know he's an appalling character but he was before we signed him so why all the intense opprobrium now?

I hope that we don't sell him, that he falls in to line, apologises and we move on. Although the Marca article stunk (just as much to Arsenal fans, I'd have thought) he claims (at least) to hold LFC fans in high esteem. I think he's trying to keep a way back open - and in the same way that Tevez did with city, we should allow him that route if it serves the best interests of the club.

I actually don't think that BR's public attack on Suarez is in the club's interests. I like BR but, to me, it looks like a load of gesturing that I don't need to see. I'd rather BR's handling of Suarez (as brutal as he wants it) was kept in private. Making it public will only strengthen the hands of Arsenal and Madrid. We are far bigger than Suarez, so let's keep our business in house. Let him wander round the press looking smaller and sillier, day by day. LFC should sit above all of the headline chasing.

We should / could put up with Suarez's outbursts for now. The club looks stronger if it appears to ignore such things. If we keep him - which I think we should try to do - we can force a grovelling apology from him later - when his ban is over and the window is shut, for example.

Personally, I couldn't care less what Suarez says as long as he delivers on the field. As long as we don't sell him, the only conclusion to be really drawn is that our legal people knew a lot more than his did when the contract was constructed. He can say what he likes. If he can't force a sale through the legal route, nothing substantive was ever agreed - and he looks more and more like a liar / silly little boy.


whilst in general I agree with what you say, I do think the club had to say something about his behaviour. Now we should leave alone. He still could be an asset and therefore we should not be so black and white. For sure Liverpool with Suarez is better than Arsenal with Suarez. Madrid once they get Bale will end interest. Lets see how Luis now reacts after being repromnaded by the club, the echo is reporting that he is traiing alone not because of his outburst but because of his downing Tools and not training hard enough.
