I want him to go to Man U, when a PK in the box on a phantom foul against y'all, and drill it home to give Liverpool a 5th place finish on Survival Sunday. Then maybe y'all will see the light on that guy.

Impossible.

If he goes to Man U, he'll be suspended for the rest of the season for....wait, its Man U. He won't ever see a red card, let alone a suspension.

I'm just ready for it to be done. Either he stays or goes. Get on with it. We tried to set a timetable, and it obviously did not work. Sucks having no real power in the situation. I will say this though - I think even if he stays and doesn't want to, he will still play his @#$@# off every second on the pitch. Which is one of his redeeming qualities that I love.

There would be a funny side of him going to United and playing with Evra and co. He's truly a terrific player, douchebag or not. If he ends up going to Arsenal, and you watch him play 60 matches a season, I guarantee your opinion of him will change. Nobody works harder in training or on the pitch than him, and he has multiple moments of complete brilliance a match.

He does go down easy pretty often, but he rarely dives, and he gets hacked to shite like no other. In Craig Bellamy's new book he says that after every match Suarez's ankles and shins were badly bruised.

Nothing left to see, he is the best player in the EPL... Precisely why I don't want to see him at any other other cub in England..

Yea, "see the light"? What does that even mean? That he's a douche on the pitch? I think we are more aware of that than the non-LFC fans. He grew up playing on the streets, and still plays like he's on the streets. It's what drives him and makes him the player he is, though it comes with many negative aspects as well.

Nothing against Higuain, but I'd prefer just a big bag of cash to a player swap plus money. Just give us an insane amount of money and let our guys figure out who to spend on.

Yeah that's what I meant. I'm not saying he's not worthy of being referred to as one of the best PL players. Y'all just defend his diving as "smart" or whatever. It's understandable though. He's a Top 5 striker in the world and at least Top 2 in the EPL.

Y'all see this?

New Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola is known to be a fan of the Liverpool marksman and having allowed Mario Gomez to join Napoli the Spanish manager is very keen on bringing in a strong striking addition and the Premier League side are willing to enter negotiations about a possible player plus cash deal.

Liverpool value Suarez at over £40m and will accept a fee of around £25m plus young attacker Shaqiri for their top-scorer, an offer that Bayern Munich may well be amenable to.

No, diving is not smart. It's actually a very inefficient and wasteful tactic. There are some certain circumstances, however, where a dive may give a squad a critical tactical advantage. Examples of this would be getting a defender a red card if he's sitting on a yellow, winning a free kick just outside the box, winning a PK, etc.

I am very cut and dry when it comes to diving and, in general, breaking the rules, however. I don't think diving is any worse than a defender fouling an offensive player, a striker riding the back line or a "last man" foul. It's all "cheating" by definition. I think it's hilariously hypocritical when a player is cheered like a hero for getting a red card on a "last man" foul that wins the game for the defending team, but a player is labeled a "cheat" if he dives to win a PK that ends up winning the match for the offensive team. Both situations are inherently the same: the player is blatantly breaking the rules to gain a distinct advantage for his squad.

FWIW I don't consider breaking the rules during a match "cheating." That is just absurd in my opinion. Cheating, to me, is match-fixing, doping, etc. I also don't endorse diving by any means, nor any other form of breaking the rules. But I understand it's a part of the game.

Not sure

Q: what's the status on y'all's Welsh MF? Is he the odd man out now?

I would be thrilled personally. I doubt Shaq would be though. I would love to see Suarez at the Allianz.

I think Suarez is an incredible player, I don't really like this deal though.
