Watching Suarez at Barcelona will be like watching that girlfriend revenge porn site... You dirty urguanian whore you 

Lets just give the sum of £75m and the fact that absolutely nobody came in for Suarez apart from Barca a little more thought. Football is a business it's not a game of poker. Due to Suarez's idiotic behaviour in the world cup his price probably went down by as much as £25m. He had his best ever season at the age of 26. He played some fantastic football and he will be missed. He then bites another player for the third time. He is 28 in January. Unfortunately, as much as I love Luis, he is one slice short of a full loaf at times on a football pitch. It is all very well thinking we held all the aces but I don't think that assumption is correct. We had the opportunity to get a very high price for a player who is regarded by many as damaged goods. Yes we could have played hard ball and demanded that Luis stays until a suitable replacement is found but that could have very easily ended in tears as well. Luis stays and has a poor season and ends it with bite number four. What price would you put on his head faced with that scenario. His price increased by £35m due to a good season and it could have been a lot more without the bite. His price could fall by just as much and maybe more if his first season at Barca doesn't work out. Unlikely I admit but possible and for me I don't think Ayres or the owners were in any mood to give up the money considering the way Luis behaved at the end of the last two seasons. Luis could have been a legend instead he will be remembered as a player who simply used Liverpool FC as a stepping stone.

He will be remembered as one of the greatest striker;player on a Liverpool shirt .
The man had some serious demons in him but absolutely gave 110% whenever he was playing for us .  Wish him well .

I'd agree to an extent. He did always give 100% and I will always respect that but biting first Ivanovich and then the Italian to force our hand in inexcusable. Liverpool football club has always treated its players with respect. I am sure he has had various issues over his time at the club that was taken care of by the club. The fans always showed him 100% support but he let us down, not because he wanted to leave but the way he left. He will never be supported in the same way as he was here, even if he scores 100 goals for Barca. Had he just given us one more season since we got CL football, I would have understood. He leaves however as a mercenary regardless of how good he was. I respect that it was his wife that probably forced the move but still we treated him better than he treated us and frankly us fans did not deserve it. No doubt when his ban ends we will hear things along the line of " I'm so happy to play for the greatest club in the world". Besides, it seems to me Barcelona's era is over and this will not be the last club he plays for.

Comments by Spanish giants' president Bartomeu confirm Mirror story from three weeks ago that the move was already in the works late last season

Barcelona have admitted they persuaded Luis Suarez to quit Liverpool for the Nou Camp BEFORE the World Cup finals.

The 27-year-old Uruguayan striker insisted a month before the tournament in Brazil that he was staying at Anfield: “Don’t worry, nothing is going to happen to me. I’m very happy here and my family is happy here."

But Barca president Josep Bartomeu has now said in the wake of the £75million transfer: “When we approached Suarez, it was before the World Cup. We told him that he had the right age. He had the experience.

“Playing at Liverpool gave him incredible performance and it was the right time for him to come to our club, to Barcelona.”

The comments confirm our revelation last month that the wheels were in motion before Brazil 2014 for Suarez to move to Spain.

Bartomeu added: “We knew from of lot of years ago that Luis Suarez likes our club, likes our city [his in-laws already live in Catalonia].

"And we have the advantage - his agent is Pep Guardiola’s brother ... He’s from Barca in his heart, also, so everything was perfect and created the perfect atmosphere that Luis Suarez accepted.”

The Spanish giants' president also maintained that at no stage did they ever consider not signing Suarez in the wake of his bite on Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup saw him banned from ALL football activity until late October.



The suspension is the third of the former Ajax hitman's career for biting opposing players, but Bartomeu said: “We didn’t rethink this decision and we told Luis after the bite.

"He knows he did wrong. He apologized. That’s very important for us.

"That means he knows that he did not do things properly and of course, coming to our city, coming to our club, there’s going to be a way of managing Luis Suarez.”

Reading between the lines I reckon the arrogant bastards told him to bite somebody to drive the price down. Let's face it they didn't find it that easy to come up with the money did they - hummmm !!! THEY PROBABLY NEVER THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD BE BANNED FROM DOMESTIC FOOTBALL AS IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE !!!

Do you really honestly believe he'd mess up a world cup dream (especially considering he maybe slightly past his best at the next one (and that's what it is to most players at the tournement, a dream) to force something through like that in that calculated a mannor?

Not a chance in hell.

It was a random spontaneous nutty act by a flawed genius. One who'll be horribley missed by his ex club.

Is that your opinion of the bite Ivanovich?

I'd have probably bitten him in that game after his antics. Some have very short memories.

Luis's behaviour when it comes to getting his own way when he decides it is time to leave a club is almost legendary so yes I think anything is possible.As for the world cup did he take a calculated gamble that Uruguay were on the way out? I accept the scenario I have suggested is highly unlikely but then again if you didn't know anything about Luis Suarez and somebody in the pub told you about his behaviour over the last 5/6 years I'm  certain you would find that hard to believe as well. Absolutely fantastic player but I hate to admit it was the right time to take the money and run. Luis for all his incredible talent was an embarrassment. To be honest I got totally fed up with defending his stupid behaviour. If it was your business and you had a member of staff that embarrassed the company you would get rid. It was only because of his amazing skills that we didn't offload him last year. Your suggestion that BR has been weak is an opinion I simply do not share and never will. Frankly I think he had understandably had enough! BR got a massive amount out of a player that you admit is flawed. Suarez improved considerably under BR.

no way did suarez intentionally set out to bite chellini in order to force a move out of liverpool. he had agreed terms with barca before the W.C and you would be very naive if you believed we knew nothing about it. believing he then bit him just to lower the sale price is clutching at straws seen as barca would have to be party to it  and they would never support that.
the lad damn near ruined his career with this and if it happens again it wont be because he wants a move out of barca but because he lost the run of himself again due to his mental issues.
the club knew he was going, put up very little (if any) fight to stop him and are perfectly happy with the money they recieved.
