Love this bit<laugh>

Suarez, we have been told for weeks, has been considering taking legal action to prove he does indeed have a £40 million (plus £1) exit clause. He confirmed last night it is an avenue he is exploring, prompting the inevitable question: What are you waiting for then?

For God's sake man, just get on with it. Seriously. This is exactly how the conversation between Suarez and the Anfield hierarchy is going every time this challenge is threatened.

"I'll take legal action you know?"

"Fine, go ahead."

"I mean it. I'm going to do it."

"We heard you. Call your lawyer. Be our guest. You&#8217;ll lose."

"This is your last warning. Sell me now or I'm going to see you in court."

"There is no exit clause, Luis. Do what you want."

"I'm going to count to ten now and if you haven't sold me, I'm taking legal action. One... (two week pause)... Two..."

It really helps that he has a 6 game "cooling off" ban if we don't manage to shift the scrote abroad

Sums it up perfectly for me: ironically is this not the paper (one of them) he crawled to?

If it does end up at a Premier League tribunal (bet they'll hold a party at HQ if this ends up on their lap) Suarez will be faced with some questions he'd rather not answer.

Queries such as, if you only wanted to stay at Liverpool for one more season 12 months ago, why did you sign a new deal? If you had just two years left now, rather than three, you'd probably be gone already.

And does your suggestion Brendan Rodgers verbally guaranteed to oversee your sale this summer really tally with the fact you signed a contract extension after he was appointed?

The Premier League might also ask why no formal, written transfer request has ever been handed in (like the legal threat, still very much stalling at the 'consideration' stage) and seek confirmation if Suarez's agent has handed confidential details about his contract to Arsenal, contrary to Rule K of the Premier League handbook. Come on Arsene, who told you to bid that extra quid?

Liverpool are fixed in their own position to never sell Suarez to Arsenal and will be in no mood for conciliation today. After the comments by John W. Henry and Rodgers mocking the possibility, it is inconceivable. If their legal position is as watertight as they say - and all we can do is report the supreme confidence of the club it is - Arsenal's suggestion they won't increase their offer implies a high degree of corporate delusion.

If you keep hold of him i can see this all resurfacing in January. He wont be cup tied in europe and he will miss the first 6 games of the season anyway - it could still all be up in the air come January which won't be good for either club involved. But for the player that gives him half a season still to impress to guarantee his already very safe WC spot with Uraguay.

Getting the deal done now is beter for all 3 parties involved. Been there and done that with players at Arsenal. Get rid quick and replace them is the way to go.
 
Sorry Suarez is treating your club in a disgraceful manner especially after the way the club stood behind him during his antics this claptrap about Champions League it is about money he thinks he will get more elsewhere or he hopes your club will panic and offer him another contract paying him even more than he is worth to try and keep him. If he thinks moving to another premiership club is going to result in him being treated differently by the press he obviously has no idea about what the papers think about his antics to date. Perhaps he hasn't found anyone to read them to him yet as he seems to think that somehow it is all Liverpools fault that he is in so much trouble, for a player with his skill to resort to the antics he does seems to any neutral to be beyond belief why does he dive so often it is so premeditated sometimes that he could probably have scored if he hadn't tried to win a penalty.
The problem now is that unless the officials are 200% certain that he hasn't dived they will not give a penalty even when he is fouled now and this now gives a certain degree of freedom for defenders to foul him in the reasonable belief that they will get away with it. Seems so stupid to me with his skill he does not need to try and con the officials but he has been seen to do it so often that being human they are reluctant to get conned again.
 
Anyone agree that it is impossible to keep Suarez now? One way or the other, he must go.

He has inferred that this Manager and the Club have lied to him. This has got more than personal. Let's wait and see just how John Henry wants to play this. If he's angry then he'll have Suarez sitting on the bench until next Summer.
 
I am now of the thinking that it is highly likely that a deal will be done. No idea what twists and turns are yet to come but i think ultimately some kind of agreement will be made. All bridges are burnt and i can't see 'Pool fans welcomeing him back with open arms if he doesn't move!

Up your bid then? We have already said what we want. If he goes in January it will be to a club offering the value we've asked for. And you giving RVP to United was ******ed, hardly "the way to go".

Managers an clubs threaten this sort of thing all the time but when was the last time a TOP quality player was pushed into the reserves and not played rather than being sold? I can't think of a single example..

Don't need to welcome him back; he won't be playing for us either way so he might as well sit on the bench until January when a foreign club can make a deal.

RVP had one year left on his contract and was 29 hence the 'low' figure.

Suarez is in his peak and has 3 years left on his career. As you say, we value him at £50m+ - just bid that much and we'll happily let him go!
