Honest question time. We all can assume that just participating in the CL isn't the height of his ambition... so if we only manage to finish 2nd-4th in the PL, and make it to the quarterfinals of the CL, how long could we realistically keep Suarez?
I would think that even if Liverpool agree to a fee, the Suarez camp will insist on a 3 year contract, and the longest we could keep him would be 2 seasons unless we win a significant trophy.
It's a fair question but clearly you have more chance of winning the competition if you're in it, and Suarez presumably believes that Liverpool are still some way off making 4th.
We know we're not that far away from being a very decent club and having a realistic chance of winning the thing - going to Munich and winning 2-0 against a side who won the thing and are now regarded as the benchmark for all European clubs says we're not far away, Suarez and a couple of others will get us much closer.
