but u also dont want to keep a player who isnt happy.
if he wants to go and we get an offer of around 50m then let him go

 

[Cruyff14]

If you don't want to keep a player who isn't happy, you'd surely accept 40m

we'll see. LFC apparently have said they wont accept anything less than 50m

Cesar would be a massive improvement on scznszcny. Do it arsene.

 

[pantskyle]

suarez still has a contract until 2018. he's not the one with the power here.

I can see his onfield antics now if he is forced to stay.

 

[moomba]

Player always has the power. Just depends whether or not they're prepared to use it.

 

[typeclub]

Top clubs are working their way down the list and will eventually get to Suarez... Cavani, Falcao, Neymar, Bale are all ahead of him so he's gotta wait like Rooney I guess.

I don't understand why you think athletic ability should come into a players valuation. If he's a world class footballer then he's a world class footballer, regardless of body shape (it doesn't matter how you score or assist goals, so long as the ball is still going in the back of the net it doesn't matter if it's from 20m out or after dribbling past 2 players and passing it into the bottom corner). Does the fact that Ronaldo is 6ft and has a fantastic physique mean he's worth more than Messi who by comparison is essentially a dwarf?

Suarez's 2012/13 season in addition to his incredible scoring record with Ajax has (like Bale) propelled him into being one of the top 10 players in world football based on form at the moment. We're in the fortunate position that he willingly signed an extension until 2018 earlier this season, so regardless of whether he wants to leave or not we're under no pressure to sell him (like Tottenham with Modric a few years ago). They'll continue rejecting bids until their valuation of 50m (as reported by Liverpool Echo, The Times & The Guardian) is met, and with an election coming up at Madrid I'm sure Perez will be happy to meet that valuation if it means he gets his man.

It's because he's one of a number of prolific goal scoring strikers in world football. Amongst Lewandowski, Gomez, Villa, RVP, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Aguero, Falcao etc.

All would be very expensive, probably upwards of 30m, but they're all very similar.

A player like Bale will eventually go for a massive amount because of the way he runs the match out, bullies opponents whilst having the ball and has a heap of power behind his shots.

Just a unique thing which Bale and Ronaldo have.

Neymar? They guy who's only played in the Brazilian league?

 

[Hawthorn United]

He cleaned up his act.

You mean the time he's spent on field since his biting?

 

[PAdman]

Neymar? They guy who's only played in the Brazilian league?

Barca just bought him for ~£32m.

Been very quiet on Rooney.

Top clubs don't seem that interested.

 

[Latro]

How long does Rooney have left? He could be finished by 30 with his body type.

 

[chef]

Been very quiet on Rooney.

Top clubs don't seem that interested.

His wage is too high.

 

[Magma]

it's automatically assumed that someone is going to swoop in and take rooney for a massive fee and pay him huge wages.

spoiler: they're not.

So he's got a 6-pack and he kicks the ball hard? That's it? If anything history tells us that those types of players who rely on athleticism and power inevitably drop away at a far younger age than those players who rely on creativity, skill and intelligence. If we look through a list of the best 20 players in the world, there would be more who fit the mould of the latter than the former. Speed and strength (while being very useful qualities to have) are no more important than a number of other attributes these top level attackers may possess.

Statistically this season there's been little to separate Bale & Suarez, certainly nothing to suggest Bale would be worth £20-30m more as has been proposed here. If anything Suarez has arguably been slightly better if we look at the main performance indicators like goals, assists, key passes, chances created and dribbles completed. It just comes down to personal preference as to whose playing style you like more. At the end of the day though, a manager isn't going to care anywhere near as much about how an attacker score goals as opposed to how many they score.

 

[moomba]

His wage is too high.

Which is not the case with his weight, general fitness levels and longetivity within the game.

No they aren't, there's Messi, then there's Ronaldo/ Ibra then in the next group of players there's Suarez/Bale etc.
