That the rumour but a couple of journalists have came out saying that its over £40m.
There is a lot of confusion about it.

:lol
Marca, Pulga and Madrid tried to make Messi look like a devil if any of you remember that earlier in the season. Imagine what they would do with Suarez. :lololol
not really surprised. he's 26 and obviously incredibly determined and ambitious, he's not going to give his peak years to a club that's one or probably two away from champions league football and maybe a couple more from being really elite. especially when that is incompatible with liverpool's current plans which are mostly making young signings for long term building like allen, coutinho, sturridge, aspas etc instead of being focused on spending big to getting in the top four as soon as possible.
of course he's going to blame the media. he can't exactly say that.

Afro will do fine at United we've had a few dickheads play for us before now so he should be fine.

apart from the mistake i made about the contract, they are real but slightly truncated by me. they are sky's translation which gives it all a little wiggle room i suppose, he is speaking in uruguayan/spanish at a press conference.
but this one,
"it's a difficult moment for me. the coach and my colleagues know that they didn't treat me well here. they know it and i know it"
is word for word from the telly. and it's the one i'm most confused by.

Half term innit
They value Callejon at £20m? That's a bit of a joke. We shouldn't get shafted with their deadwood again, remember Nunez?
Tony Barrett was on CityTalk talking about it yesterday, says it's around £40m. Also says that Rodgers would be allowed to reinvest all of it.

Suarez is a mess, I don't even think he even knows what he's doing. Ruined the clubs history, goes on record to say no one backed me when he made two managers look like idiots in front of the press and fans.
We didn't back Rooney as much as they backed Suarez, besides Rooney is not a racist nor does he crave the human flesh.

good. the question is, does he use it to buy one major marquee signing, or to plug more gaps in the squad?
FootballFan

Haha that is great.
Both I reckon. £20 million to plug gaps with 2 or 3 player, £20 million on a reasonably big name attacker.

40m for Suraez? Take it and run.
I would rather us improve our squad, than a marquee signing. Squad depth will be better for us in the long run. We can't just go relying on one major talent. Look what has happened with Torres and now Suarez. I would rather the goals be spread out amongst the team.
Rooney craves roast beef.

That's one heck of a disco.
I think he will spread the money out a bit rather than any marquee signings. We have a rumoured budget of £25m plus any player sales. With Suarez, Skrtel, Coates, Shelvey, Downing and possibly Reina heading for the exit it gives Rodgers a lot of cash to spend.

Good news Arsenal fans, the best player in Africa has confirmed he wants to stay. Looks like you'll be keeping one of your top talents this year.

I am now a twitterer guys.
This may be seen as a knee-jerk reaction and I know many people probably won't agree with me but this summer the club really need to sell Suarez. The moment a player becomes bigger than the club he's playing for is the time to sell.
Off the pitch Suarez is an unpredictable PR disaster waiting to happen. On the pitch though is where I really feel the club needs to asses the situation.
What kind of a coward uses his own shortcomings to move away from a club that has supported him so he can win trophies (while protecting his loyalty fee)? I know Cavani is always in his ear but just come out and admit you want the move.
The summer after Torres was sold there was an opportunity for the club to rebuild without basing the team around Suarez as Rafa had done with Torres. Even when Torres was injured or playing badly he still blamed our losses on his teammates and wanted to go to a team where he could win trophies.
Unfortunately Ayre comes out every other week saying the team is being built around Suarez.
When Suarez plays a lot of the team rely solely on him and don't step up. When Suarez plays well he wins games on his own, when he doesn't however a lot of our promising attacks break down because he tries to do too much rather than trust his teammates.
The club will take a step back if they sell Suarez but investing the money into the team trying to build a cohesive, technical and intelligent unit will see us better off in the long run.
There are many, many examples of clubs that have sold their best player and gone on to perform better, most notably Ronaldinho at Barcelona, Del Piero-Juve and Suarez leaving Ajax.

I'm firmly in the camp that Liverpool would be better off without him, provided his transfer fee was spent wisely.
The only reason for it that I can see is the club management wanting to make a break with the past, but Del Piero was unproblematic and beloved icon of Juventus who didn't need to leave when he did.
This was unnecessary, though. Elder statesman and model professional who had willingly accepted a massive wage cut for the sake of the club. He wasn't holding us back or demanding to play every game, and his continued excellence in Australia suggests to me he would have been a more effective substitute than some players I could name.

I agree, but I'm not confident they'll get the full £40 million.

i agree, but then i feel like bringing in a 'big' player could galvanize the squad after losing suarez.

at least he doesn't have his meals mid-match.
Big name signing doesn't have to be overly expensive.
Someone like David Villa for example.
Liverpool fans cheer yourself up:

Am I the only person that thinks Suarez would be a brilliant signing for Juve?
And I know its been Callejon and 20mil that's rumoured but what about Higuain and 20mil, Would Liverpool fans be happy with that?
