Because he's class.

Suarez for Liverpool 13-14: 6 appearances, 6 goals, 2 assists.

Playing in front of a lineup that makes ours look more creative than Dubya's WMD intelligence unit.

Yeah we should all be dreaming of Benteke, or Lewandowski if we're feeling ambitious.

Pool will sell to us, if they aren't getting CL games and Suarez having only two years remaining. In fact, they probably would have sold to us if we improved our offer to 45m in the summer but we were preoccupied with Ozil. I wouldn't mind one out of Costa, Suarez, Benteke, Lewandowski, Benzema or Pato.

Pool will not sell this season. It would be illogical and mad to sell mid-season when their team looks good after holding out all summer.

It really wouldn't be a smart move to sell Suarez until they absolutely have to. He's by far their best player, and generally they waste money with their transfers. Without him they'd be struggling to stay above Everton and Southampton.

He ain't no Ramsey though:

@OptaJoe: 6 - Aaron Ramsey has scored six goals and provided three assists in his last seven Premier League appearances. Dragon.

True. Ramsey is on another level.

Chicharito has been tweeting his discontent again. I'd take him in January.

World class striker who would fit our playing style like a glove.

i'm not sure about hernandez. he doesnt seem to offer a lot in general play, though he's got a poacher's instinct. i guess if the fee and wages are reasonable, he's better than nothing :\

Yeah, I like him as a concept, just because I think he's established value and would score goals. We'd eventually have to choose between two out of three of Poldi, Walcott and Hernandez though.

Really what we need is competition and backup for Giroud and he's not that, but I'd still take him.

Cheetos would really only be an off the bench option when we need more goals. He's not the guy who is going to push Giroud for a starting spot or even displace him. The strikers we are facing in November: that's the level we need to be attracting (Lewandowski, Suarez, RVP, Higuain, etc).

Not really looking at the long term plan, just the basic idea it'd be nice to have more goals in the squad for the second half of the season.

At the moment if we start Giroud and Walcott/Podolski, then if one of the three is injured we still only have Bendtner off the bench.

again, if we are talking midseason, i really do not see how United or Liverpool are handing us their strikers. it's ridiculous. almost as ridiculous as our RvP sale to United.

we would need to look elsewhere. now if you told me we made an irresistible offer to Swasnea or Villa and they budged, then i might start to listen to you.

Never gotten the idea of why people even talk about Chicarito. United fans only like him when he comes on and nicks a goal, rest of the time he's useless. As said he doesnt offer anything beside some poaching. And when it comes to him wanting to leave United - it would only be to get more game time. We cant offer him that, so there would be zero sense in moving from Uniteds bench to ours.

shrug Except that he'd be way better than Bendtner.

Pato has also been unconvincingly linked today.
