Some players can get u loads of goals given the right service; they vary in quality from Bent, Inzaghi, to Van Nistelrooy, Gomez, Dzeko etc

There are others than can get u goals AND make the team play better: they also vary in quality from Suarez to Henry, (Brazilian) Ronaldo, Messi etc Players of this ilk are generally more highly rated(cost more money to buy them). We are more in need of these sort of players.

How come Liverpool played better when he was suspended?

Nothing left to play for , natural progression of a side under construction etc

Are they not a far better team with him in the side?

Coutinho deputised for him as SS and all of a sudden all the other attacking players seem so much better as they were actually getting the ball passed to them.

[size=large]Luis Suarez pins hopes on Premier League settling Liverpool-Arsenal stand-off [/size]

Luis Suarez would be happy for the Premier League to step in and settle his contract-clause dispute with Liverpool such is the conviction of the player and his agent, Pere Guardiola, that they are in the right.

The League may offer to mediate in the row between Liverpool and Arsenal, and the player’s camp are understood to welcome independent arbitration stressing that both verbal and written assurances were given in the renegotiation of the Uruguayan striker’s contract last summer.

Guardiola maintains that it is Liverpool who have changed their position on allowing Suarez to leave for a bid of over £40m. Arsenal are confident that the Merseyside club will ultimately allow them to speak to Suarez and believe they are currently stalling in the hope that other clubs enter the race.

Liverpool would prefer to sell to someone outside the Premier League and have been frustrated by Real Madrid’s apparent lack of interest. Real have told their young strikers Jese Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata that no more forwards will be bought this summer, leaving their path clear to the first team.

Real showed an interest in Suarez earlier in the summer and believe personal terms with the forward would be quickly agreed. But they were also made aware of the buy-out clause and baulked at the £40m price tag. The Real president, Florentino Perez, would prefer to concentrate on raising the necessary funds to sign Gareth Bale this summer or next year.

Bale fits the profile of an ideal Perez signing with the sort of commercial appeal that Suarez does not have. Madrid would take 50 per cent of Bale’s image rights, an operation that would not be as lucrative in Suarez’s case.

Missing out definitively on the Tottenham forward this summer and any continuation of Wednesday’s lack-lustre pre-season form could yet see Real reconsider on Suarez. The Spanish side were unimpressive in their second pre-season friendly against Lyons, scrambling to a 2-2 draw and if their form does not pick up, attitudes towards Suarez could change.

Zinedine Zidane, new coach Carlo Ancelotti’s assistant but already having a major say in the way the team plays and the players they look to sign, wants the club to put its trust not just in the youngsters but in French forward Karim Benzema.

However, Benzema failed to score in the 6-0 win over Bournemouth at the weekend and was poor against Lyons in a new-look front three, playing to the left of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Asked about Arsenal’s bid for Suarez, Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, said tonight after his team’s 8-1 win over Indonesia All-Stars in Jakarta: “I have no idea of the situation and no idea of the contractual situation of Luis Suarez but if Arsenal has economic potential to buy and the manager decides he is the perfect buy for them, it is normal to make a big offer. I have no idea how it will go.”

On Merseyside, former Liverpool striker John Aldridge joined the chorus of fans accusing Suarez of a “massive lack of loyalty” by his desire to leave the club. Aldridge said Suarez owed a debt of gratitude to the club for sticking by him after his racism and biting controversies.

He said: “There’s a massive lack of loyalty there and especially the way Liverpool have stuck by Luis. Not everything’s all about money.

“It’s different with Luis Suarez because of the positions he’s put Liverpool in over the last couple of years and they’ve stuck by him. The fans have been loyal, the manager’s been loyal, his comrades have been loyal, and the hierarchy have been loyal. They’ve done everything in their power to back him up and he’s basically put a custard pie in everyone’s face.”

Dzeko is a target man and great with his back to goal. By definition he will make the team play better. He is a fantastic centre forward, just needs to play week in week out with the same players and he'd prove to be one of the very best strikers in the country.

I don't think he's quite as good as Suarez though, and I don't think he'd be much cheaper.

So he's clearly holding them back.

They should therefore just ring Arsene and get the deal done.

C'mon Liverpool, u know it's the right thing to do.

Yup, we should buy Coutinho who would, in all probability, cost much less and improve the game of the other players.
On top of everything else, he has employed an idiot as his agent who got "played" by Liverpool.

Alot less mentally unhinged though.

Why the fuck did they ask Mourinho about our bid for Suarez? 😆

These idiots probably thought the 40 million was a contractual release clause in case they didn;t reach the Champions League and signed a new contract, last year, based on that.

The agent is obviously building clients because his brother's stature is in the back of their minds.

Notice how many Suarez articles are from the Liverpool perspective rather than the Arsenal perspective. There is a desk open 24 by 7 at LFC that is feeding all the news to all the reporters.

Dzeko is a Volvo and Suarez is a TVR.

Rodgers says we have to basically increase our offer considerably and then says he's not for sale. Ok....

Rodgers: "So why would you swap Liverpool to go to Arsenal? I am not sure that it adds up to be honest."

Eh, CL football for a start, better team, in a better financial position-can potentially offer more in wages etc,etc.

They were probably hoping he has a dig at Wenger for spending big.

And a chance to play for Arsene Wenger as opposed to ... Brendan fucking Rodgers?

Liverpool finished 28 points behind United last season, we finished 16 off the pace. Losers are losers but if you were a betting man, who would you choose as a potential challenger with a couple of additions?
