Honestly, I think he's gone. Maybe that's my negativity, but I just don't see him staying.

I hope Saurez stays and don't blame Liverpool fans at all for hoping the same. I can understand if he wants to leave England with all the hoopla but--and I'm probably in the extreme minority here-- the moral "outrage" over this seems way out of proportion.

Yeah, suspend him for some matches. Getting pissed and biting people is bad ok. . .

But hell I'd rather get bitten than intentionally elbowed in the nose or punched in the nuts (or other such seemingly more accepted displays of competitiveness).

And, furthermore, it's kind of funny (I mean, yeah it's bad, very bad to get pissed and bite people ok.) But it's also kind of funny.

It's not like he gauged out an eyeball, broke a knee or stabbed someone in the parking lot.

Suspend him for some matches, get him some appointments with a psychiatrist (and if that works out well, send Roma the phone number for Osvaldo) and keep the funny jokes coming.

Otherwise, cut back the moral outrage painting football as if it were perfectly behaved gentlemen gathering for an afternoon tea only to be upset by an uncouth savage.
