He's been without a club for over a year, so you would assume that someone would have done by now if they wanted him.

I think his attitude precedes him.

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez wants to hold talks with Arsenal over a potential move to the London club.

Suarez believes Arsenal's offer of just over £40m - which was rejected - triggered a clause in his contract that allows him to speak to suitors.

Liverpool interpret the clause differently, but the 26-year-old will inform Reds boss Brendan Rodgers of his wish to meet with Arsenal.

£40m for Suarez? I'd bite your arm off.

[Ouroboros]

How does that work then m8? Surely a bid meating a release clause can't be rejected.

The player has to be told about the bid if it's over £40m. However, Suarez is still under contract, Liverpool don't think £40m is enough, so have rejected the bid. They want nearer £54m as they see Suarez just as good as Cavani.

Surely that is pointless as if Suarez just picked up a newspaper last week he would have read that Arsenal bid £30m for him

It means he's free to discuss terms with them.

Which, of course, never usually happens without the selling club's consent.

Y have a medical if he never wanted to go there

[TBM]

QPR may suddenly call him up and say "we'll give you an extra £5k a week if you sign for us" - so as said it depends what he is driven by

[URZZZZZ]

I'm sure Celtic would have offered him a lot to stay, so doubt money is what's driving him

[Pepe the Horseman]

Mackie off to Forest. Would've thought he'd be one of the few QPR would want to hang on to.

Now Cesar's off to Fiorentina

I think I’ve mentioned this before, when Rooney was agitating for a move. Re Suarez, why don’t Liverpool just say ‘you’re staying, suck it up lad and train hard’. Yes, I get that he’s worth £50m to them in fees, but they’ll need to sign a player of similar ability to challenge for the Champions League. And if he stays, Suarez will have to play well to keep himself in the shop window in a year or twos’ time.

He signed a four year contract less than a year ago, why don’t Liverpool hold him to it? I can see why financial considerations would affect this sort of decision sometimes, but this seems like a no-brainer for Liverpool, they will be a lesser side without him.
