I don't have any particular view.

If Madrid came in with a 100 million offer I'd like to see the club accept it. We could then go after at least two attacking players to replace him and most likely pay what the selling Club wants for the players.
I do believe every man and his dog from rival clubs wants to see suarez leave liverpool because apart from a few city players he is the only other player in the league who has that little bit of magic and the x-factor about him

I don't think the owners will accept anything below £90m. Invest the money on likes of Sanchez, Di Maria, etc..

Minimum £90 million anyway.

Also the yanks won't accept any part payments.
I personally think they will get scared off by the price and more than likely having to spend £90-100 million in one lump sum.

If they pay what we want they get him. If they don't pay then he doesn't leave.

We hold all the aces. He has a long term contract and last season proved we won't take any crap from him.

Don't think he'll leave this season anyway despite this being the dream of every bitter opposition fan for the last few seasons.

If you're gonna sell him you would need to do it early so that you dont miss the boat on other available top players and end up overpaying for someone like carroll

I think Ian Rush has been quoted as saying that the buy out clause is a staggering £130M. It's pure speculation to suggest what any selling figure would be. I'd be more interested in who we brought in. Beware the ides of Tottenham potatoes (happy, Admin?) What a catastrophic spending bout they had last summer.

And what of our scouting dept? We took the two guys from City, I presume they identified Sturridge and Philippe, but who else we've signed has been as successful?

I remember watching Luis for his first ever game for us, thinking, "And when will you be offski?", bearing in mind the style of Torres' departure. That day will come, inevitably, but not as soon as some think, and many wums hope for.

Slipstream

as a United fan, of course I would rather he wasn't a Kiverpool player. But as a predominantly English football fan, I want to see him every week. Sensational player who is making a big effort to change perceptions of him. Fair play to him

Luis will do at least one more season with us. He want's CL football at Anfield, said it himself, he is hitting his peak years and will have no problem getting a move next season should he want it, but we will be european champions by then so he will stay

If were offered £90m+ I wouldn't mind if we sold. That's ridiculous money!!

hopefully we can continue the rich vein of form but we won't have it as handy next season but you would expect the team to continue to evolve along with the challenge.

I think most reds are just delighted and really excited about cl being back, I cannot wait and am going to do everything possible to get to the first home game.

He won't be sorry he stayed wen he lines up for the first time in a home game at anfield for the cL

If we get offered a world record fee then I'd imagine he'll go. It would be a shame for Liverpool and the EPL, irrespective of the team you support watching the special players play in our league is a good thing.

For Liverpool it's about investing the money properly. If they do that then the club could be stronger for the departure. If not, well, Spurs are the example everyone points to and it's a genuine risk.

If he went I'd be disappointed but the club would move on and it would be a bloody exciting transfer window!

He's irreplaceable.

I wouldn't be happy with any amount of money for him.

That said when/if the time comes and the board decide to sell it should be for a world record amount.

posted on 8/6/14

I'd rather he stayed but it would be hard to argue against the huge amounts rumored which are upward of £70m.

If he wanted to go, and we got huge money, after he'd helped us to 2nd I think you've got to accept it. We'd then need to buy two very good players indeed. You cannot replace Suarez, which is why I would rather he stayed no matter what the money, but if you do don't spread it around. I'd want players of the Sanchez, Di Maria, Modric standard.

I still remember the summer we sold Rush and I was so upset I cried (I was 10 in my defence!).

Then we signed Barnes, Beardsley and Aldridge!

We'd need to do something similar if Suarez went in terms of quality.

Rather than take money off them. If I was Liverpool I'd say we'll have Di Maria, Benzema and Coentrao

Player plus cash deals are extremely rare and unlikely to happen, but in that unlikely event I would take any number of combinations adding up to circa £90-100m.

Illarramendi, Jese, Varane, Morata, Isco are all quality young players on the fringes of their first team who would improve our team and/or squad.

The likes of Di Maria and Modric are too important for even mad Madrid to release, although you never know with them.

I don't believe Suarez will be leaving this summer anyway though. Last summer he was far more likely to go and we held on to him.

If Real genuinely bid I am sure we will get some quotes from him or his agent about it being his dream yada yada but that doesn't mean we will let him go. I can't see Madrid breaking the transfer record again personally. They may try and get him for £50-60m which we will just decline.

The only way I could possibly see us selling this summer is if he has an amazing World Cup and someone breaks the world record for him.

It would make sense for us to sell in that scenario because his value would only decline from that high. We will still be able to get 50-60m for him next summer though if necessary and he has always maintained he wants to experience CL football at Anfield.

Would you not consider it if Arsenal offered 40m plus 2 pounds????

posted on 8/6/14

catch-22

if we sell Suarez, that makes it harder to get other top players to join

half the reason any top attacking player would come would be to play alongside Suarez and the service he gives

The problem would be getting him to agree to move to Arsenal, bringing his career backwards.

So this £65m to United doesn't have legs them?
