Look at Eto'o, Drogba, Sneijder, Rooney, Van Persie etc. Players decline. Him being at a very high level at 34 is unlikely and a huge risk.

It is normal for us to criticize. He is not 23 or 24. He's near thirty. For forwards you give shorter contracts. Like someone mentioned this discourages young strikers from coming here.
Also if Suarez is mediocre for the next few seasons do we sell him for peanuts?

Just guessing here but possible scenario was the board offered a 2 year extension but his agent negotiated firmly on a 4 year one and came up on top.
Loss of form risk is very low for a forward of his quality. He'll be 34 by June 2021, age shouldn't be an issue except for slower recovery in case of injury.
Out of curiosity, in case of permanent injury, would Barca be covered by their insurance policy or a clause in the contract lowering the annual salary on say a pro-rata basis?
Why wouldn't a young striker want to be mentored by Suarez?
Even if Suarez is mediocre, I'm sure a Chinese club would offer more than what we paid for him ( have you seen what they are paying for bench warmers?) and happily pay the balance of his contract. There is ZERO risk for Barca in making this deal.
Dont believe a word of it. To just hand over huge contracts and then rely on Chinese clubs to bail us out is definitely risky.

i don't know. I think there must be a clause of some sort, considering the deal looks otherwise fantastic for suarez.

The pass. And receivibg it with outer side of boot. Pure classes
So frustrating. At least he's scoring again. Good goal and good run before that.
If he keeps scoring hopefully his touch will come back as he gets more confident.

Finally, great second half.
It must be confidence. Even with the goal he wouldn't have either produced the first touch or the finish a few weeks back.
Yea, especially that horrible pass to Messi. WTF is right.
