The only 'paper talk' I listen to is what my mate says to me face-to-face or down the phone

Wasn't aimed at you.
My point is that Suarez has stated, as unequivocally as possible, that he is happy here and is not looking to leave. Of course, he could be just saying that, or circumstances could change, but there's no indication of that at the moment so why get ourselves all worked up over hypotheticals?
The papers take a fragment of his statement and lift it out of context to back up an opinion that for the moment has no substance. So why worry about something that we have no control over anyway?

Exactly. With a few exceptions, my mate has very little time for them.
 
Suarez has a ridiculous talent. Loathsome or misunderstood will forever be up for debate, but his ability is not. I do not see why a mid-table side would keep hold of such a player, it would rely on the player having little interest in money, trophies and being completely in love with the place. It's not impossible, but being a skeptic created by years of the profiteering premier league rabble, I can't really get on board with that idea.

If he likes it in England so much, he could go to Man City. Manchester's not far away, and they have the resources.
I think he'd fit better with Real Madrid, I don't really see him working too well in the Barca set-up, but who knows.

Of course, I think it would be lovely if he stayed at Liverpool (especially if there wasn't a major investment in playing staff or significant upturn in league position), and would certainly restore some of my faith in humanity! He'd certainly have my respect.

It's not entirely implausible that Liverpool get back to being a top 4 club, or better, in years to come, but the new financial regime seems a little bit limited for rapid progression. It would be nice if they could get back to playing the sort of football that won them the Champions League and FA Cup in a style that thrilled the neutral, and there are brief glimpses of that, but usually against poor opposition.

He stayed in Holland long enough because he was so loved<whistle>
 
It's an amalgam really. My mate says he is genuinely happy at the club and in the city. He'll want to see progress, but he'll give us another season to see if that materialises in a clear way.

Are you in love or something? <whistle>
 
Michu has talent. I do not see why a mid-table side would keep hold of such a player, it would rely on the player having little interest in money, trophies and being completely in love with the place.

Of course, I think it would be lovely if he stayed at Swansea (especially if there wasn't a major investment in playing staff or significant upturn in league position), and would certainly restore some of my faith in humanity! He'd certainly have my respect.

It's not entirely implausible that Swansea make a challenge to being a top 4 club, or better, in years to come, but the new financial regime seems a little bit limited for rapid progression. It would be nice if they could get back to playing the sort of football that won them the Championship and got them to a League Cup final in a style that thrilled the neutral, and there are brief glimpses of that, but usually against poor opposition.

Fixed <ok>
 
Not He's not going anywhere option.? Huh? What gives.

Am I forced to say he's leaving? Can't vote.

He's not going in the Summer, this should be the stance of the Club Owners and Fans.
 
Think only Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern Munich could and would buy him. None of those targets are unrealistic. Juventus couldn't afford him, Italian Clubs are tight.
 
I reckon he's gonna get the LFC crest tattooed on his ass, and then stay at Liverpool FC for the rest of career becoming our all time top goal scorer, he'll also name his future daughter Brendan. <ok>
 
I was pretty confident that Luis would stay one more season but this interview does concern me slightly.

His contract expires in 2018 so if he was to leave, he will do so on OUR terms and we will command a huge fee. This summer is crucial ...
 
The chavs have mentioned it and asked if they should\would.

that's one place he definitely ain't going<ok>

All opinions should be point blank refusal he is going to go, all this talk of is he, if the club do not slam the door shut on this one he may just go
 
The next 8 games are crucial IMO in terms of pushing for European football and providing the optimism that this team is improving and will push further next season - hopefully it will be enough to keep our best players here (not just Luis).
 
That quote doesn't limit the field to the 2 Spanish giants, he's saying that if an offer from a CL club comes in, he'll have a decision to make.

There's only a handful of clubs that could afford him though.

We face the same issue.

Unless the impossible happens & we somehow get 4th, then we'll lose Fellaini & maybe Baines this summer - plus Moyes!

There's a gulf between the CL clubs & the rest, you've largely been on the right side of the divide though, this might be the year that you suffer the consequences of missing out again.

We've already been suffering BB. We've lost out on targets already over the past couple of seasons and had our player target options limited too.
