I am not talking about tonight. I don't give a flying fuck about friendlies, as they mean little in how the season pans out. I will only start panicking if we start the season in a horrible way.
I meant it in the sense that, if guys like Gio, Quag and Matri are deemed worthy/good enough to wear this jersey, then Suarez sure as hell is.

"I gave absolutely everything last season but it was not enough to give us a top-four finish - now all I want is for Liverpool to honour our agreement."
"I have the club's word and we have the written contract and we are happy to take this to the Premier League for them to decide the case but I do not want it to come to that.
"I don't feel betrayed [by Liverpool] but the club promised me something a year ago just as I promised them that I would stay and try everything possible to get us into the Champions League. "They gave me their word a year ago and now I want them to honour that. And it is not just something verbal with the coach but something that is written in the contract. I’m not going to another club to hurt Liverpool."

"They defended me, just like I defended them on the pitch. The players have always supported me and I’m grateful for that. It's the same with the supporters. I got a great reception at the weekend and I am grateful. I don't think the supporters are angry - I think they understand a player when he has the ambition to triumph at the highest level. "When you are at a club for as long as you are together you stick up for each other but that does not give the club the right to go back on their commitment. "I'm 26. I need to be playing in the Champions League. I waited one year and no one can say that I did not give everything possible with my team-mates last season to get us there. "It is not as if I am asking to move to a local rival. And I would not consider moving to a club outside the Champions League. I have made my desire to move known in private various times and now it feels like the time for me to make it public. "I have to put my career first. People say Liverpool deserve more from me but I have scored 50 goals in less than 100 games and now they could double the money they paid for me. "Liverpool will always be special for me: my daughter was born here. [Last summer] was the moment to show my loyalty to Liverpool and I did. [Liverpool] gave me my chance in England and stood up for me throughout my ban. I know I have made mistakes in my time here but I have apologised lots of times. This is not about that. This is about the club having agreed to something both verbally and in the contract which they are now not honouring. "People may accuse me of showing a lack of loyalty but last season we told Liverpool there was interest from a top European club but they told me: We've got a new coach and we’re going to push for the Champions League'. "I spoke with Brendan Rodgers several times and he told me: 'Stay another season, and you have my word if we don't make it then I will personally make sure that you can leave'. "Liverpool is a club with a reputation for doing things the right way. I just want them to abide by the promises made last season. Some of [my team-mates] say to me: 'We cannot understand that if you have it signed that you can't leave'."

Is he really going to Arsenal?
I wish we would make a move for him, but if Arsenal wants to pay over 40 million £ to get him (wasn't that the price being mentioned?), then it's obvious we should not try to compete... I just don't see it from his perspective. He will move to another english club, who will win as few titles as Liverpool, the only difference is CL football, which he could get several other places...
Imagine if we sold Quaq for the 7 million £ Norwich offered, and Matri for around 10 million £, then one of Vucinic and Giovinco, we could havearound 30 million £ which would make it possible for us to try and get this fellah. Off course it's not that easy, but what an attack we could have next season: Llorente, Tevez, Suarez, Giovinco, Boakye - not bad! Maybe even too much

Luisito is my favorite non juve player. The guy deserves to play for the biggest clubs, at the highest level, competing for the highest honours. In saying that Arsenal are a sideways step for him. Theres every possibility they wont even make the CL this year granting they come up against a tough team in the qualifiers.
