Luis Suarez is still a very good forward but for me he has a few problems:
1) Weight - he has a few kg more than he should. This affects his movement and speed.
2) He spends more in arguing with referees and opponents and in provoking and fighting with opponents than in playing football. For me, his behaviour has become disgusting.
3) Injuries - I think he's been having issues with his knee for some time. It seems alternative treatment and not having enough rest didn't help and finally he went on surgery. I hope this will solve his knee issues.
Luis (turning 33 in January) still has a place in the squad but he needs a forward partner who can play instead of him in some of the matches so Suarez can have a rest. Every season he's been playing 50+ matches for Barcelona + 6-7 for Uruguay.
He has two more problems that are perhaps more significant than those you listed:
4) He does not respect the manager. He plays when he wants.
5) He does not respect his team mates. He shits on any new players.
If we want to incorporate new blood into this team, he should be the first to go.
