The Football Courtroom: Does Suarez owe Liverpool another season?

But blaming the media is out right stupid. He says the media always targets him, well if you go around biting people what do you expect? You go to any league in the world, if a player behaves the way Suarez has he is bound to get a lot of criticism. In reality he could have made life much easier for himself if he had not behaved like the way he has in the past 2 years, biting Ivanovic, racially abusing Evra and then the handshake saga. All of them could have been avoided had Suarez used his god given brain. Not to mention the amount of embarrassment he could have saved for a club of Liverpool’s stature.

Personally, I think Liverpool should talk to the Uruguayan. If he has his heart set on a move, then maybe sell him for a good amount of cash early in the transfer season and try to avoid a long stressful heart ache, for both the club and its fans. It might also free up some cash for the club to invest back into the squad, and maybe help them make a genuine push into Champions League contention. I don’t see Suarez staying, and I have a feeling that it’s going to be a long transfer window.

He doesn’t owe us anything. We bought him from Ajax when he had issues there, we took advantage of that situation. Do we think he owes something to Ajax? I don’t think so. Why don’t we just have more proficient owners throughout these 20 years with no EPL titles? I don’t think that just one player can guarantee titles; it’s all related to the team, a strong enough team, that also has depth. Remember 2009? We had it all but a deep squad; whenever one big player wasn’t on the pitch, the whole team felt it. I think Suarez has to do what’s best for him; whether if he goes or stays, it’ll be ok.

Now, talking about debts you say, don’t Liverpool owe an EPL title to Gerrard?

I believe that Luis Suarez owes nobody nothing. He has given Liverpool two and a half exceptional years. This a world class player that played alongside some very average, if not poor, team mates, yet he seems to be the most grateful person on the pitch. The Zenit game tipped it for me. Suarez is a better player than the Europa League and he was more gutted than anyone when we got knocked out. Liverpool have done no more than any other club would have done when it comes to the incidents. Liverpool will double their money on this guy and we’ll still have the memories of the Newcastle, Sunderland and Norwich goals. And who will forget the assist for Kuyt against Manchester United?

I don’t think so. Though he’s still got time on his contract, once a player loses his interest in staying at a club, there’s absolutely no point in keeping him. The lure of Champions League football and Real Madrid was just too much to handle, I guess. As a Liverpool fan, I’d be delighted if he stays, but of his own free will. As to whether he owes us another season, I’d say no. He arrived at Anfield, did his job of scoring goals (quite well at that), stirred up a controversy here and there, and is now looking for greener pastures. It’s what any footballer would do (minus the controversies obviously). That doesn’t mean he has to stay at the club for longer than he likes. He doesn’t owe anyone anything. I wish him well at Madrid (if he does goes there) and hope we can obtain a striker of his class (maybe even better). But I’m pretty sure no one will ever forget the player who wore the no.7 jersey so well after King Kenny. Luis Alberto Suarez, you shall be missed.
