But bottom line... We blocked Suarez's desired move to a UCL club, when we weren't one... Sure, there were nuanced differences to the situation.. But the question was specifically around clubs blocking players moves and thats exactly what we did.. If anything, it was even worse (for them) since Suarez had a £40mm buyout and we just flat out refused to sell..


I think key to that is that Gerrard (and others) talked Suarez out of pushing for it and decided that Liverpool would be the better place to try to realize his ambition of moving to the Spanish giants. Had Suarez continued to push for it, we may have ended up with no choice.

True, after it dragged on it all worked out... But he wanted out and was pissed when we didn't let him go initially..

Would we have sold, who knows? JWH was resolute in saying we would not have..
