A growing possibility is that Barcelona will offer Alexis Sánchez in part exchange for Suárez, but although Liverpool have a strong interest in the Chile winger, they would entertain that idea only if there is also a cash adjustment in the region of £50 million in their favour.
I could live with this...

really don't want you guys to get Sanchez. i'd love him. he'd be great for your, though the wing position is getting crowded.

Sanchez would be great in Brendan's system.

I think so as well.

He's been at his absolute best when playing in a 3-5-2 instead of more as a winger in a 4-3-3 though.

His versatility fits us perfectly in keeping the attack fluid. He's played as a 9 (false 9), winger, behind the striker....would work very well with a combination of Sturridge and Sterling offering more creativity when trying to break teams down and obviously more pace when we play more direct.

I'm getting way too ahead of myself

Sanchez is good enough that I think he fit anywhere but that he works on defense and is brilliant on the counter does make him a good fit for Liverpool.

Sanchez and Di Natale, in Guidolin's counter attacking 3-5-2 at Udinese, played some of the most beautiful attacking football I've seen.

That Udinese was a marvel, no doubt. They were the ´say hey kids´ of Europe, for sure.

WTF is Barca thinking? This dumbass is probably one incident away from receiving a multi-year, if not lifetime, ban. Is there one person in the world who doesn't think he's going to snap again sooner rather than later?

Messi, Suarez, and Neymar on the same team with a CB pairing of Pique and Mascherano? Do Pool or Barca just not even pretend to care about defending?

One request Pool, please use the money you get for the bucktooth cannibal to swoop Diego Costa from Chelsea. Didn't you guys almost sign him last year? Surely there is still interest there? ::fingers crossed::

1. He´ll be speaking Spanish exclusively, again.
2. Luís Enrique was a crazy mofo when little, and led sides against all odds since he was like 9 or 10 years old, and won. Think Bad News Bears against NY Yankees. He theoretically can get a hold on him, and his mind.
3. Barça´s going to seriously beat that price down, to where it´s a solid gamble.

All this said, there´s no guarantee, of course.

Randy, this may just be my opinion... But I get the feeling if he did something similar in Spain, they would punish him and move on... I think it wouldn't be blown out of proportion like in England, by the media, etc...

Dandy, correct me if I'm wrong...

Were he playing for Barça, and it the first incident? Important suspension, and that´s it. For sure. Probably less than the Pepe mind loss from a media standpoint, as it would be understood as slightly more ´civil´or plausible, however horrid that justification is. I´m referring to the Italy incident (the chelsea one is pretty on par with the Pepe ordeal).

You are delusional if you think it was blown out of proportion

He deserves all the abuse from fans and bad press he gets and its 100% his fault.

Yes lets blame the media and fans that same media and fans that both voted him POY.

You guys would make out for sure but Barca is going to drive that price down from the 80 million but if Sanchez is part of the deal I don't think you get 50 for him.

Yes, I'll take Dandys word over yours... Sorry

I'll listen to others have a rational discussion...

And I'll take into consideration the point of view of the man he fricking bit... But not yours..

But back to my original point.. I was trying to offer an explanation to Randy as to why Barca/RM would take him knowing he may do something similar again...

No doubt... A lot of LFC fans still hate Michael Owen for that!

I like him, but he was the starting point for my interest in LFC, so I can't hate...

On the other hand, the transfer fees have just gotten absolutely ridiculous...
