Mad bastard though he is, I loved watching him play and I'll be sad to see him go, despite all the trouble he brings.

Yep. He's a punk, but he is (was) OUR punk. Every time he wound-up the English press I was ecstatic. Couldn't last forever though. That said, I hope this doesn't usher forward an new era of the club and FSG trying to build bridges and suck the cocks of the Mail, Sun and Mirror. The bastards are the traditional, permanent and implacable enemies of this club and everyone that follows them. United, and to some degree those portions of the media (the Mail) that are bought off by Roman's backhanders are the media's darlings: let it stay that way. I'd follow them if I wanted to wake up each day and read uncritically cuddly stories about my team.

I sincerely hope FSG understand this, and so do our sponsors - if you're getting involved with Liverpool your market is the huge worldwide Liverpool fanbase and NOT the ****ing media or what opportunistic fans of other clubs may want.

Beeb saying talks were productive today with barca. Makes me sad that we will never see Suarez score a goal for us again.

No need to be sad. We got a lot from him and he got a lot of us. But as someone else said it couldn't last and in honesty we wouldn't want it either.

He had too much baggage for a club like Liverpool. Let's not forget that for all his skills, as a Liverpool player he does not come close to the likes of king Kenny. For whom he caused a lot of problems which eventually led the legend to be sacked.

"he has no place with Gianfranco Zola, Dennis Bergkamp or Thierry Henry in the pantheon of foreign players to have graced the Premier League."

no london based bais there then as even ****ing utd have had decent foreign players grace the prem league, we may have done as well, but get back to you on who they are <laugh>

You do understand that the English press were not wound up by Suarez for even one second.
They loved him, they love characters like him.
They probably sold a **** ton of papers because of his antics. The Suns editor was probably able to build that lap pool on his second house because of Suarez.

If these players cannot be controlled in one or two clubs...there is no guarantee that they will be controlled
in any other clubs. We do not need any cotroversial player anymore in Liverpool.

Some time ago I created a thread (I don't start many), entitled "Suarez is good for English football". I meant it, and still do. The game, and the media circus surrounding it, thrives on controversial figures and far from being outraged by his escapades they rub their hands with glee at everything he does. The madder the better.

I would contest that he is good for English football, he was certainly good for the English press. And for people who love reading their sensationalist crap.
But good for English football, I wouldnt say so.

He probably got people more interested in it, so see what kind of crazy **** he would do next, but not sure he cast the PL in the most positive of lights, made our league more infamous than famous.

Can't be bothered to root out the thread to read what I said at the time, but I stand by it.
Of course he's good for football, unless you're actually worried about some spurious "reputation" held in the world at large by people who know nothing, and care nothing, about the game.
Football is about entertainment, and who can deny he gives more than value for money in that department? For his fans and for most genuine neutrals his football is a joy, for those rivals who (understandably) hate him he provides them with a wealth of ammunition to fuel their tribal stone-throwing and self-righteous indignation.
As we've said, a godsend to the media because he sells rags like hot cakes, and he even gives moronic politicians an opportunity to deflect from their own calamitous contributions to society by piously tut-tutting and harumphing about him when they they are several orders of magnitude more corrupt and disgraceful than he could ever be.
Lovers gonna love, haters gonna hate, but secretly everybody's happy because he gives them what they want.

I suppose you are right in a sense.
No point putting the Premier League, or football in general, on any sort of pedestal.

It IS entertainment at the end of the day.......so in that sense yeah, he is good for football
