I said soon after the biting incident, when most people on this thread were calling to sell him, that we would regret selling him. A couple of others agreed with me, but most wanted to sell him. Now everyone is gutted. Well glory be me drunk, what's happened since to make you change your minds? You couldn't realise then what you realise now? I will tell you what has happened since... it is now a reality, he's gone, and suddenly some, who wanted him sold, are gutted. I was gutted when all the talk was about selling him. In the upcoming season when we're 5th or 6th around xmas time, then you're really gonna feel gutted because the reality of his departure will be biting....hard. I said two weeks ago no amount of money is going to replace his quality. I hope I'm wrong, but I know I won't be. 35 goal a season players don't grow on farken trees.
I realise he wanted to go but players talk about leaving all the time, yet most of the time, the big clubs hang on to their stars. Liverpool has problems retaining its best strikers. Owens (don't laugh, Owens was once a gun), Torres, now Saurez. Don't shoot me down, but does LFC have a culture problem? We keep losing quality strikers and I've had a gutful of it. Ronaldo left United, but only after he helped them win 3 league titles and other trophies. Rooney always talks about leaving United, but they hung onto him and he repaid them with trophies. WTF did we do to try and retain Saurez? Not offer him more money that's for sure because our tight ass owners think the club has spent enough. Seriously, if we couldn't hold onto Saurez after missing out on the league by a fraction and with the lure of CL next season, we must have a culture problem at the club. Either that or start releasing the purse strings a bit you freaking tight asses...even better, sell to Arabs, ala City.
Looking forward (not) to the next big name at Liverpool becoming world class, only for a big club to offer him dollars he can't refuse and LFC once again bending over...like a lame, defenseless fa.rk.en sitting duck...like snatching candy from a baby....letting the big club grab him. We must be seen as an international joke by all the big clubs.
And also, so much for the EPL being the top and toughest league in the world. Ronaldo, Messi and now Saurez, all playing in Spain....all wanting to play in Spain...for 2 clubs.
What a shite moment for the LFC.
