He's both a club hero and a club disgrace. I'm glad he's leaving (as long as we replace him wisely), but I won't have any malice towards him at Barca. He didn't try to Michael Owen his way out of the club. He didn't turn in a transfer request like Torres. He hasn't shown specific loyalty to the club- but he hasn't tried to twist a knife in our backs either... although he'll have plenty of media opportunities to do that over the next 4 months.
Standing ovation (at the moment)... But as Derek says, he might start criticising the club and Rodgers in the media over the next couple of months which could change stuff massively.
The guy is the reason that we're back in the CL and his legacy, if wisely spent (big IF) will help us maintain that. I for one would stand and applaud him if he returned....assuming he doesn't bad mouth the club or Rodgers, who has had nothing but praise for him. I see no reason why he should though.
I don't recall him bad mouthing Ajax after leaving so I don't see why he will here unless he truly feels he's been mis-treated. At this point, I'd have to question the club since Reina, Torres, Mascherano, etc all did the same.
in fact he was bacjk there getting a standing ovation cos the fans loved him and i'll bet if he went back agian they'd d the same frankly.. we stood by him and have made a massive profit and achieved a milestone on our development progress on hsi back so we should be wishing the mad rabid racist all the best. reina is a specific back stabbing issue. torres and maschernao are legacy issues actually under the "old regime" and dealing with torres wanting to go in FSG first 3 month in. Benyoun for exaple was a direct rafa issue. Only reina to my mind is a today issue and its specifically down to the same reason i went mad at it. you signed a guy then whether or not pepe would go to toss him out on loan to napoli for pure reasons of wage was bad and broke the relationship and so rodgers has to live with it... but obviously second in the table and 75mil i nthe back pocket makes that much easier.
Of those three, Pepe may have a bit of a genuine case, however, even then there were reports he was angling for a move to Barca when he became aware that they may want to sign him, so I guess Rodgers had to move on, not our fault no one wants him now (at the price we want to sell him for).. Torres and Mash may have bad mouth'd us to cover the manner of the exit they engineered, Torres handing in a Transfer Request and Mash downing tools, that isn't any of our fault!
http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/late...uarez-to-leave Deal done. Liverpool Football Club today issued the following statement in relation to the future of Luis Suarez. Liverpool FC confirms that Luis Suarez will be leaving the club after a transfer agreement was reached with FC Barcelona. The player now has permission to complete the usual formalities, which will then conclude the transfer. We would like to thank Luis for his contribution and the role he played in helping bring Champions League football back to Anfield. Everyone at Liverpool Football Club wishes Luis and his family well for the future.
Glad it's all finally green sorted. Didn't really want it dragging on all summer. Gutted he's gone, best player I've ever seen play for us in terms of natural ability and skill. Hope he out performs Messi and Neymar in a Barca shirt next year and gets his head sorted out.
Me too, can sort of guess it was done our terms.. 1 - Sale to be done quickly 2 - Value of Release Clause to be met, and 3 - Payment upfront.. Still nearly 2 months left, gives us more than enough time to get the players we need..
Come on G. Under the Old Ownership, Ayre had a far more minor role to play. He did as he was told rather than being in control. Your taking that just a bit too far.
Going, going... Gone. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...contract-with-the-la-liga-giants-9600201.html
