Very sad state of affairs. The club have come out and said he is not for sale and only a silly offer would buy him. The player himself has stated openly he wants to move to a club with CL football, but at the same time has not said anything publicly in the UK or formally requested a transfer.

I cant blame him for wanting to move to further his career, and at the moment I have no problem with the way he has acted since the end of the season. I really hope we can keep him, but the club will have to spend some serious wedge on a marquee signing to convince him we can challenge for the top four this season. My money is on him staying until January, maybe end of next season. By then another year will have been worked off his contract and he will be in a stronger position to get a move. In the meantime he may well play his nuts off and give us his very best to attract Real Madrid.

suarez always wants to better himself. he did it at the 1st dutch club when he got a move to ajax, then he did it to come here and now he obviously feels he has out grown us or we lack the same ambition as he does.
when he signed for us he was supposed to be a part of a rebuild that would challenge for a return to the CL and now 2-1/2 years later we still cant maintain a challenge. we could be another 2 years away from achieving that and he just does not want to hang around waiting.
no one can deny he is a diamond of a player and one who should be competing at the highest level so if he wants the CL and someone is willing to buy him at the agreed price he should be allowed to go. if we had of threatened the top 4 last season maybe things would have been different.
im still not impressed at the way he is going about it though but he has given us adequate time to replace him and we as you say need a marquee replacement.
we need to take lessons from this and make sure it doesnt happen with our up and coming stars who at some stage will be looking for CL.

Looks like Rogers wants him to honour his contract and help us fight for CL. If he stays I fancy us finishing 4th.

[Kukilon]

The little chance we had to finish fourth will go straight out of the window if he leaves. He cant be replaced since we cant offer CL footie or wast amounts of money.

Apparantly Arsenal gave bid 40 million now. I hope we dont sell to them and either keep him or sell to RM

Good stuff from Brendan:
Luis Suarez owes it to LFC fans and team-mates to stay at Anfield

Brendan Rodgers believes Luis Suarez owes it to Liverpool FC supporters to stay at Anfield this summer.

The Reds boss was in bullish mood as he discussed the long-running transfer saga at the team's base in Jakarta. Rodgers is adamant that the unsettled striker is not for sale and wants him to abandon his hopes of securing a transfer.

He dismissed Arsenal's recent £30million bid and suggested it would take an offer in the region of the £55million Paris St-Germain paid Napoli for fellow Uruguayan Edinson Cavani for Liverpool to even consider a deal.

Rodgers also warned potential suitors, who are  waiting in the belief they could land Suarez at a knockdown price late on in the window, that there is no chance of that happening.

Reds fans have shown great loyalty to Suarez throughout the controversies which have dogged his two and a half years at Anfield from the race row with Patrice Evra to his bite on Branislav Ivanovic.

His comments this summer about wanting to move on from the five times European Champions, and in particular being flattered by interest from Arsenal - having previously stated he wanted to quit England for Real Madrid -  have strained that relationship.

He has also let down a manager who has stood by him throughout but Rodgers insists Suarez simply has a debt to pay to the fans and his team-mates.

“It's not about me or the club, I think it’s the supporters and his team-mates for what they gave him,” Rodgers said.

“What I do is the same for anyone. My success is not just about trophies, although hopefully when I finish my career I will look back on having won things.

“For me it is about more than that. It’s about making people better people and supporting them when they need it. Luis doesn’t need to show me anything because that’s what I do.

“For me it’s about the great supporters we have. The backing they have given him is absolutely brilliant.

“They have stood by him through thick and thin, and through all the traumas he has gone through over the last couple of seasons.

“If there is anyone he owes it’s them and his team-mates, who have fought beside him, certainly not me.”

The growing fear among fans is that this saga could drag on into the new season and severely hamper Liverpool's Premier League campaign.

If Suarez was to be sold in late August, the Reds would have little time to reinvest the proceeds but Rodgers is convinced that won't happen.

The Northern Irishman is only too aware that last season's 30-goal top scorer is key to Liverpool's hopes of competing for a Champions League spot and will do everything he can to keep him on board to help spearhead the club's continued revival.

“I don't want to set a deadline or put a date on it but this is not something that will run too long,” he said.   “We are totally in control of the situation. It is one where we don't have to sell. He has got three years left on his contract.

“We are prepared to get some players in and spend money without having to sell Luis Suarez. The reality is that we have had one offer.

“There can be as much speculation as you like, but there has been nothing beyond that.

“It was an offer for what they (Arsenal) considered his value and worth. Obviously for a player of his quality, when you consider that Cavani has gone for £55million you know… Luis is up there in that bracket of top talent.

“Obviously it was an offer we didn’t deem worthy of the talent and even if they came back with that kind of amount (£55million) there’s no guarantee he would be sold even for that because we are trying to build something here.

“We don't want to sell Luis Suarez as we are just trying to improve the squad. You come into Liverpool, one of the giants of the world, and even though we are not where we want to be yet, we are on our way there, no question about that.

[woof woof !]

Good stuff from our manager, can only hope that he's able/allowed to stick with that attitude.

[Kukilon]

I really hope the club has the balls to back Brendan on this and force him to stay if we dont get a good offer. If we sell for anything less than 50 million its just not worth it. Suarez can potentially earn us more by just staying for this season and then selling him next one.

[devaney]

I seriously hope that Brendan is right and that this issue is going to be sorted out sooner rather than later.

If BR persuades him to stay it will be like signing a new player. It also makes BR look very capable. Just how much of this has been manufactured if Luis stays will be my question.

Just want it resolved now.
