Suarez more committed than Torres: Jamie Carragher

Luis Suarez, who was suspended for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic, has expressed, time and again in the last few weeks, his desire to make a move from Liverpool to Real Madrid after growing weary of his life in England.

The 26-year-old, who is yet to complete the remainder of a 10-game suspension, will end up missing the first six games of the new season.

The Anfield side has openly insisted that they have no intentions of selling the player, and that Suarez can be trusted to carry on his commitment to the club unlike Torres, whose performance leading up to his £50?million sale to Chelsea in January 2011 was all but questionable.

“The thing about keeping unhappy players is an issue because we had that experience with Torres and keeping him wasn’t the right thing to do,” Jamie Carragher said. “Torres wasn’t the same player for about 18 months and that’s certainly what you don’t want.

“But with a character like Luis Suárez, I don’t think that would be an issue and if Liverpool were to keep him, I’m sure he would be as committed as ever. He has shown that already, not only on a weekly basis, but on a daily basis in training, and I don’t think Liverpool would ever have the problem that we had with Torres,” the former Anfield defender added.
