after weighing up the pro`s and cons he`s probably thought to himself that if he stays here -

1. he`ll be the main man (the team will be built around him and set up for him)
2. he`ll be surrounded by team mates he gets on with and not prima donna`s who may get jealous if he starts stealing their thunder, the likes of madrid and barca are notoriously political behind the scenes with factions and cliques in the dressing room.
3. he`ll be plying his trade in the most watched domestic league in the world for a club that has a massive worldwide fanbase
4. he`ll be playing in the CL for a club synonymous with the competition
5. he`ll be earning nearly a million pounds sterling a month.

there`s a lot of plusses there, just need to finish in the top 4 now!
if we manage to do that the future will be very bright, a lot of players will want to come here and play alongside suarez.

and no (I repeat, NO) talk of release clauses..

Personally I detest the wages some modern day footballers receive. Downing, Carroll and Cole instantly come to mind as ridiculously overpaid individuals with very limited talent and to be honest I was delighted to see the back of all of them. Fans paying well over £45 to watch players of that standard frankly makes me sick to the stomach. We have made so many mistakes in the transfer and remuneration area that it is very little wonder that FSG wanted to reduce the wages bill substantially and err on the side of caution when buying players.Having said all that Suarez is a very different matter. Personally I would pay an extra £5 to watch a game if his name was on the team sheet. The same used to apply to Stevie Gerrard. Suarez is worth over £200k a week. He is an entertainer and a phenomenal footballer. The club is more attractive to sponsors because of him, well most of the time providing he doesn't go on a nibbling session.Suarez is the difference between success and failure. He is quite easily the best player I have ever seen at Liverpool. Ayres has his critics. He now has the opportunity to get everybody on his side by getting Suarez to commit his future to Liverpool and if that takes £250k a week then give it to him along with anything else he wants.I think he is that good and so important to our future. I'm also more convinced than ever that Ferguson desperately tried to destroy his career at Liverpool because he knew just how good he was and the bitter old kunt struggled to accept that Suarez played for Liverpool.

Its just remains to be seen whether or not Rodgers can attract players of the right quality.

With regards to the manager I'm still very much on the fence. He's made some exceptionally good decisions since he's been here but he's shown inexperience in a lot of others.

I think he is happy to stay though if we progress enough.
