Say Suarez wants to leave for PSG and Liverpool say "no thank you, Suarez is staying at Liverpool", what's to say that Suarez won't be on the first plane back to Uruguay? Carlos Tevez has shown a footballer can pretty much behave how they like and there is little his employer can do about it. If Manchester City were to cancel his contract tomorrow, you can bet your house on most of the big clubs in Europe would be getting in touch with his agent to arrange a free transfer into their club.

Yes its probably best to let him go if he really wants to go, but we should do our best to keep him here.

Like most of you said, "If he wants to go, let him". I go for that and won't feel too bad only if we can get 50 million AND make sure we can do a Newcastle after selling Carroll. That is, spend wisely in the transfer market to look for a more clinical striker. Newcastle signed Ba to replace Carroll and they've never looked back. They were not attractive to quality players and yet they could get that quality striker, if they can do it, why not us?

So far this week on the forum we've sacked Kenny and sold Suarez and its only tuesday morning. Lets hope we can get the new stadium built by tomorrow midday then buy Hazzard, Messi and Girlyboy in the afternoon.

not many players act like tevez though, they are professional`s after all and they understand that they signed a contract, they may not like the situation but they get on with it.
ferguson said united were on the verge of signing tevez but when they were discussing the length of the contract tevez said 3 or 4 more years will do him then he will retire, ferguson said when you have a 25 year old player talking about retirement at contract negotiations then you know his head isnt in the right place, united pulled out of the deal, they couldnt risk spending £30m on a player talking about retiring, tevez for whatever reason had issue`s with the sport long before he joined city.

My point was that you cannot force a player to remain at your club when he doesn't want to play for you.

All Suarez has to do is refuse to play or when he does play do nothing with the ball in matches. What can the club do? Fine him a few weeks wages? The guys a multi-millionaire, what's a two week fine to him? You overestimate a club's power over a player. If Suarez wants to leave for PSG and we retain him beyond the summer, you can bet your house that his agent will try and engineer the move in January and if not then the following summer and eventually we'll have to concede defeat and let him leave. The longer a club holds onto a player, the less money they'll get for him later on. Running down Suarez's contract is not detrimental to him, it's detrimental to us. It's a bit like Robin Van Persie at Arsenal. Arsene Wenger has allegedly said that he'd rather let Van Persie leave on a free transfer and for what? Just one more season. This is Arsene Wenger flexing his muscles, but the problem is that Arsenal will lose a lot of money by allowing him to leave on a Bosman.

  well didn't you sign AVB alot earlier?

[Octsky]

everybody and anybody in the team is available if the price is right.
IF the price is right. if PSG wants Suarez and Suarez wants to go, offer us a crazy amt of money and we can talk.
if a player wants to go no use keeping him.

Former Uruguay international Gus Poyet fears compatriot Luis Suarez could walk away from Liverpool and the Premier League this summer.

Brighton manager Poyet has acted as a mentor to his fellow Uruguayan since the striker moved to Anfield in January 2011 and the former Chelsea and Tottenham midfielder stood by Suarez through his recent controversies.

Since arriving at Liverpool, Suarez has been criticised for diving, as well as receiving an eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra, and has since been linked with a move to big-spending French side Paris Saint Germain.

Poyet, who was introduced to Suarez by mutual friend Diego Forlan, knows the season has not been an easy one for the striker and fears he may move on.

"I just hope that we can keep him in England," Poyet said. "I would like him to stay in England for English football. Otherwise you lose so much. I don't want to lose him. But it was difficult for him and a difficult time. He was worried about everything that happened and it was a shock.

"It was a difficult time when you are out. Remember, he wants to play football. He wants to stay on the pitch but he was out and it was difficult to understand, because of the language."

Poyet likened Suarez's situation to that of former Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, who left Old Trafford in an £80 million move to Real Madrid in 2009. Poyet believes Ronaldo's departure was a loss to the Premier League, and believes Suarez, who has been linked with a move to PSG, could be tempted by a move to a big club on the continent.

"I know he is learning a lot. I hope we can keep him. Ronaldo left and I said, 'Why?' I think we shouldn't lose these players," Poyet said. "If you leave Liverpool, you have to be leaving for something bigger. You don't leave for a smaller club."

That said, Poyet, said the striker appeared settled in Liverpool when his Brighton side lost 6-1 at Anfield in the FA Cup.

"I speak to him quite often - I am not saying weekly, but every now and then," Poyet said. "We spoke [then]. His family was there and I think he looks happy to me.

"It is important his family is happy as well and they help him a lot at Liverpool. It is a matter of time until he produces again - who knows, maybe the FA Cup. I am sure he will show his quality because everyone knows he is a very good player."

said exactly the same for a while now. wouldn't surprise me at all if he wanted to leave, given the persecution the bloke has faced from opposing fans and media since being in this country.

[red till i die!!]

the media attention and the abuse from opposing fans will never stop till he leaves the country and maybe he feels now its his only choice.
i somehow doubt he will be wearing our shirt next season

[SouthCoastShankly]

How about we just treat this like any other rumour until such time that there is compelling evidence he wants to leave.

[maguskwt]

I am actually not too bothered... if he wants to leave, let him leave, but we need to receive a proper fee for him... Suarez is not irreplaceable...
