Hopefully he wont be back tell the end of the season, we are playing much better without him.
I think we should not sign a pure CF regardless of his future because we have Griezmann and Messi. I think we should get a quality LW, two CMs, and a starter (not a sub) CB.
You can make the same argument for wide playmakers and wingers. We have Fati, Dembele, Coutinho, Griezmann, Messi and Trincao who can play there and only one real cf (two if you count Braithwaite).
Judging by Suarez latest interview he clearly wants to continue with us, which is fine by me, but we should still get a starting quality CF. Would be great to start the season with 2 quality strikers after ages --> just get Lautaro and be done with it. He could play LW in the mold of Villa as well.

Prime Suarez (Liverpool, 2014) and prime Eto'o (Barça 2006, Inter 2011) are on the same exact level: both were the best strikers in the world. Enormous skills, high workrate, both capable to play upfront or as second strikers/offesnive wingers.
Both were capable to carry a whole team on their shoulders, of which they were clearly the superstars (Liverpool, Inter).
Suarez has higher numbers with Barça compared to Eto'o because he played alongside Messi for more years in an era when it is much easier to score.
Eto'o's contribution to Barça history is considerably greater than Suarez's, as him and Ronaldinho were the ones who put Barça on top of the football worldmap after decades.
Eto'o simply was fundamental in starting the era of Barça dominance in 2005.
Then, he did the same with Inter.
Skills wise, prime Suarez ~ prime Eto'o, career wise (both for Barça and outside of Barça), Eto'o > Suarez.
As for Ronaldo de Lima and Romario, in terms of skills they were both better than both Eto'o and Suarez.
In terms of pure football abilities, Ronaldo and Romario are two of the 5/6 best strikers ever in the history of football.
Regarding their contribution to Barça, they however sit below both Eto'o and Suarez as they stayed here much less.
- For Barça:
Eto'o > Suarez > Ronaldo ~ Romario
- In terms of football talent:
Ronaldo >= Romario > Eto'o ~ Suarez
- Overal package for Barça:
Eto'o wins.
This is for all the haters, he may have his lacks, like any other player, but you can replace his 9 ability, his finishing, the way he drags defenders with him making spaces for Messi and others (which i thinks is the biggest problems in our attack right now). So yea, we need Fatty ASAP if we are to win something this season. Many forget he.s one of the best ever 9 in history of the club.
Is there any chance he will be ready for CL quarterfinals if we get there?

We play much much better without him, thank you and good bye
