Luis Suarez.. Should he stay or should he go? (Part 2)

Please check out my Just Giving link - Thanks.

The never ending transfer saga surrounding Luis Suarez is rumbling on.. well, I say never-ending, you suspect that it will come to an end at some point with a transfer to Real Madrid if Suarez has his way.

It would be a shame, particularly given the support he has received from the club following his various transgressions since signing from Ajax (while he was serving his first ban for biting an opponent). You can't imagine there will be too many players where you have to specify which ban for biting people you are actually talking about.

The latest rumour mill is following the usual pattern... (see my previous blog). Off to Uruguay, press conference, back-tracking / denial / more fucking nonsense.

It's pretty clear that he wants out... you tend to pick these things up when a player is constantly on about it. Although it does seem strange that Real Madrid (for once) seem relatively quiet about the prospect. When they're after player they usually let you know about it.

There are a few issues muddying the waters at the moment.

£85m... seriously?

They haven't got a manager now the self-proclaimed special one has fucked off back to Chelsea.

They are also sniffing round the Spurs Super Chimp for some kind of crazy money.. I read £85m but that
seems insane, even for Madrid.

With the financial fair play rules dribbling in, and now the Spanish government is skint Real Madrid will most likely have to find another "revenue stream". Probably  by selling some of their squad or just Tinkerbell, possibly back to Man Utd, hopefully off to Russia somewhere.

You suspect that there are quite a lot of machinations before any potential Suarez deal is done. Which could cause Liverpool all kinds of problems.. the last thing we need is £40 odd million in the bank and a closed transfer window.

Actually - scratch that- the last thing we need is to panic like last time and buy Papiss Cisse off Newcastle for £45m.

If we can get that kind of money, then we need to spend it quickly and wisely. And hopefully not £20m plus each on players from the North East.

Peter Beardsley

It's not the end of the world if Suarez leaves.. but you do wonder how effective a mardy Suarez will be next season if he hasn't managed to engineer his move.
I keep thinking back to when my world collapsed in 1987 when we sold Ian Rush to Juventus and with the money we bought John Barnes, Peter Beardsley and John Aldridge (and then got Rush back for less the next season). The modern-day equivalents (if they even exist) would do very nicely.
