I actually think there's merit to the idea, though if Suarez has made his mind up, there's not much anyone can say to convince him to stay. It'll work itself out in the end. If he goes, we'll sign someone boss who no ones ever heard of.
TBF it was a just a s*** joke about the absurdity of asking Gerrard to try to convince Suarez to stay, when he's a) considered leaving before and b) not really got many medals to show for staying. I'm still glad he did and I'd do the same if I was in his situation. f*** knows why I doubled-down on it though.
He's won next to nothing since his last flirtation with Chelsea. There's plenty of reasons for Suarez to stay - us being a better prospect for trophies than Arsenal isn't one of them. They're in the Champions League and have money to burn. We're not and we don't. I wish thing's were different, but they're not.
Most players aren't Gerrard or Suarez. Since 2005, when he considered leaving, he's won an FA cup and a league cup. It's f*** all for a player of his quality. That's the club's fault not his, but it's not something you want to remind Luis of.
Come on now. Gerrard's not got the medals a player of his quality deserves. Sticking him in front of Suarez when you're trying to convince him the future's bright might end up being a bit counter productive.
Yeah . If he turns out to be s**** we'll end up selling him to Celta Vigo for €5m plus some unlikely add-ons. Be made up with a few Litmanen-type signings though. Two year contract, tiny fee, can only play 20 games a season but it is boss in all of them.
Seems unlikely. Think FSG have softened on their "23-year-olds-only" stance, but this would be a stretch. I reckon there's value in older players now that everyone wants to buy youngsters. Possibly not in this case though.
Wasn't one of the reasons he joined us was that he wanted to play through the middle? Don't know much about Soldado but sounds like if we're playing three up-front, Sturridge would have to pull wide.
