9 - Luis Suárez - v1

[instinct]

I think Lucho would handle this right. If he really wants Suarez and would pay so much for him, he certainly has a plan how to use him correctly.

Saurez loses the ball an awful lot, similar to Messi as he is very direct. He's not one to recycle the ball playing tiki taka... then again that might be useful for us to have a frontline of very direct players. It might be the sort of change in mindset and style the team needs.

 

[Alarcón]

A striker at last? how great would that be

This.

This frontline will murder anyone if we change our style from a slow-build-up play to a more direct one. Imagine you were a defender and Messi, Neymar and Suarez run towards you..I'd leave the pitch immediately.

I expect Suarez to be great in such a direct system, rather than in our current style of play though he'd add much to this too because he would help Messi out in the centre.

Would be really dumb of Barca to pay fuck load of money for him. 100 million is just crazy!
Also, hope Lucho can bring back that fast tiki taka and ability to switch to another style of play when needed. Tiki taka 2.0?

Hallelujah! .....but, I won't get excited until it becomes real.

 

[Djab]

Just speculation and rumour. No need to be excited.

In pure footballing terms he would be perfect for our frontline. I'd be really worried about ego clashes between Neymar Messi and Suarez though. They'd all become frustrated if they didn't get the ball and Suarez especially wouldn't be afraid to have a go at someone on the pitch. Suarez wouldn't want to sacrifice himself for Messi, especially if Messi was allowed to walk around as he does these days. I can't imagine them getting on well together at all.

Potentially awesome as well though.

Maybe that's what Messi needs to keep him focussed , he's got Ronaldo pushing from Real Madrid so maybe Saurez would make Messi even more determined to be the number one player at Barca ...

Where on earth have you seen anything resembling that amount of money ?

Exactly ..... this front three reminds me of the days of Rivaldo / Figo / Kluivert and how amazing they were together ...

Incidentally , Messi loses the ball more than ANY other Barca player ...fact ...

 

[AnfieldEd]

Is this the first credible source (Sunday Times) to echo this transfer saga. ?


Duncan Castles writes: “Luis Suarez will shock Liverpool in the summer by insisting he wants to leave Anfield for a new career in Spain. Real Madrid and Barcelona have approached England’s Footballer of the Year and are ready to meet a release clause understood to be £67.9m.” his preference is Barcelona .

Duncan Castles also reported that Spurs would use their money from Bale to sign Suarez.

Zincubus, do you like every PL player?

He´s worth it in today´s market, but he´s really not what we need right now. Better spend that money on two centre backs... we have a beast frontline already.

That was 12 months ago ....
