Luis Suarez - Forward - Liverpool (9 Viewers)

[Salvatore]

I'd imagine it to be about 30m plus sales. Inclusive of CL revenue.

Teeing yourself up for disappointment.

Suarez is definitely the best player we could get. (being somewhat reasonable)

 

[JuveJay]

Would you say 40 million pounds plus is reasonable for us?

 

[ZoSo]

They said €30m

Dat time of year

There is basically a 1% chance that

a) We will try to sign Suarez

b) He would want to come here

There is no chance in hell we can afford his wages. Simple as that. He is in the sights of the Real Madrids, Bayern Munichs and City's. Not us.

I got him on FIFA 13, did a player swap with Bendtner for Suarez. It's definitely possible. EA would never exaggerate about such important matters.

I just hope Marotta doesn't say something like 'Suarez is the sort of player we are looking for/could improve the team'.

Because then when he doesn't sign for €40m+ with €7m salary the usual will be 'OMFGZ, he promised us Suarez/a top player '

He has mentioned a lot of players... Higuain, Aguero, Van Persie, Tevez, Suarez, Balotelli etc

Of course, but he is damned either way with those questions. If he says he's not interested in good players he lacks ambition, if he mentions them and doesn't sign one he is a liar.

He's maybe mentioned 1 or 2 (max) of those players you mentioned.

The rest is media bullshit.

Ambiguity ftw

'We are always looking to strengthen our squad in all areas'

Mentioning specific players is pretty bad if you have no intention to sign them.

He's mentioned a lot in interviews, you could probably find more than that if you look hard enough.

I can remember maybe Aguero and RVP. And even then, it wasn't like he said we're definitely in the race for them, just said there was interest.

Anyway, as Jay said, he's damned if he does damned if it doesnt. A thankless job.

I just prefer to sit back and look at the team he (along with Paratici) has built over the past 3 years. Speaks for itself.

in b4 "it's all Conte"

 

[ZoSo]

I think it's wrong to always get fans' hopes up so often especially when the words are directly from his mouth only for us not to end up with any top striker since his time here.

He could always give ambiguous responses tbh.

 

[Xperd]

How this thread is still open is beyond me.

 

[Salvatore]

I do think Marotta is an idiot for name dropping and listening to questions mentioning specific players.

Bar Balotelli, all those players cost as much as Jay wrote and earn ca. the same amount

I don't know how many times he has to say "Certain players are out of our reach financially" for fans to get the point. I stopped getting "disappointed" over these non-transfers years ago, times have changed. We have a different method for building a successful team now (financially and from a technical point of view) and it seems to be working fine.

Is Fernando Llorente on a free transfer not a good start? Personally, I'd prefer that than spending 20M + (and insane wages) on a Balotelli for example.

He shouldn't be naming them then
