Just reading that he is one of the squad players who has gone with Liverpool to America. I am now taking that as a sign that we will probably not be signing him on loan. Or if we do we might have to wait until they get back.
The fact he is a young Spanish prospect and rodgers likes his teams to play in a way that wil suit the lad think he may now be in the managers thoughts. As for the rumoured interest it was probably likely as we supposedly enquired before Rodgers arrival still a chance it could happen prem clubs tend to not let there young players go out on loan til the season has started
According to this evening post article we approached his agent a while back, but agent never got back to us http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Bristol-City-facing-wait-Suso/story-16401425-detail/story.html
That goes to show you what a load of bullshit there is in The Post. A guy on OTIB scoured realistic but exciting young players in the prem, came up with Suso and made the story up and put it on a rumours site to see how it would run! Within 24 hours it was being reported in media outlets. Lazy journalists, nothing more. (or a very, very, strange coincidence) what it does show though is most of the comments regarding potential players coming here is based on 80% rumour and bullshit. I am trying not to comment on potential signings until I see them on the main site holding a shirt up! Actually, come to think of it I wont be too sure even then!! http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10327~1344373,00.html
im not convinced either way. cant see how a little runour made up by someone in Bristol who alleged picked a name by random, became news not just in Bristol but it was reported in Liverpool based news and in national papers with quotes from his agent. Im not saying it isnt possible but still makes me wonder if there is more to it but either way when it was first mentioned Liverpool had a different manager who played a different style of football. Liverpool now have a new manager who style of football seems to fit Suso style so with a successful pre season could be a regular squad player for the club.
Below is the comment from OTIB where the poster admits that he made it up, can't confirm if this is true or not but these are his words. "For the last time.... I made up the Suso rumour on Football Rumours. It was the first time I've used the site and wanted to see how far it would actually go if I made a believable rumour up. I'm still shocked the EP published it twice (it got picked up within two days) and unless it's a huge coincidence it's categorically not true."
Yet bizarrely people will still refuse to believe it was just a rumour because it was in the national press (picked up from our local press) which is common practice! It just goes to show really, how powerful the press can actually be..
