Wouldnt be bothering us in the PL though and no use if they cant defend

I get a funny feeling we'll sell Sauraz for less than his buy out clause,not get Sanchez & over pay for Lallana,would polish off the week the week we've had

Edit : Fare thee well Mike,you'll be missed

Barca looking to swap Sanchez for Kroos now.

brilliant article

Would love to keep suarez and stick behind him but the witch hunt would be well and truly on for him next year. the FA would be willing to throw the book at him

Augmerson

If we get Sanchez and Pedro and maybe a little bit of cash too I'd be happy. Suarez is brilliant but if he thought the UK media were against him previously then next season would drive him mad.

Keep him, add to the squad and aim for trophies.

If that's true its outrageous.

Not having Suarez train with the team or playing any football is ****e.

Also if LFC photoshop Suarez in to a team photo is that ok?

I'd say not since they can't even use him on merchandise promo ( kits etc.) during the ban. FIFA making this sh1t up as they go.


How can FIFA stop LFC/Warrior from using Luis image?

Lostman1990

Suarez...85 million = 5 players of less quality = Bale and Tottenham:)

Benzino

Lol so if Barca sign him, they can't unveil him till November? :pac:

Doesn't matter, as mentioned before those silly things will be removed upon appeal.

Augmerson

What will they do for the FIFA Videogames I wonder?

ricero

Disgusting by fifa if true. Defintly making up the rules as they go along

Like I've said earlier, legal action.

They're not going to just roll over, I've a bad feeling this is going to turned into a prolonged saga.

Grayditch

That's gonna make the Barca photo awkward.

Enrique alone, holding a jersey with " S****Z" on it.

I have a plan.

Use this guy for the photos in Suarez gear.

Washington Irving

The lookalike is going to be rolling in the dough by November.

EDIT: You goddam sonofabitch, googled eyes!

Will they not be able to parade him in the car park, he just not allowed enter the stadium

I am in agreement with his ban but the details of this ban are ridiculous. It will only strengthen his appeal imo.

Wouldn't surprise me if the ban is halved or something, there's been quite a strong backlash tbf, even Chiellini said it was too tough.

con747

Suarez needs a shrink. Liverpool need his goals, but how many chances does a person who earns the amount of money he does need? I think he should be sold to generate money for players who appreciate the chance they are given.

As I said earlier, I reckon they will keep the ban length, but get rid of the ridiculous add ons on appeal.

I'm with Maradona on this one, free Luis Suarez!

As soon as the ban went through I fired up Fifa on PS4 and played as Uruguay, he was still there at the time, I didn't check Liverpool but I'd say he will be still there, but I do know it updates teams and stuff once a week, will try it next week to see do they remove him and post back....

I think the only thing they could overturn is the advertising and promotional restrictions.

So there is one comment saying he can't be in the picture if it's in Anfield then saying he can't be in at all

MacBizzle

Are these really "footballing activity"? As far as I'm concerned footballing activity is watching matches, going to training and playing matches. The rest is just nonsense.

Originally he was under the impression that Suarez wasn't allowed to be in it if it was taken at Anfield, but the reporter must have found out that he was actually banned from it altogether. A simple misunderstanding on his part.

People we are not doing this!!!

Don't have your head turned by this large quantity of cash! We need this guy scoring goals for us! To think I spent the few days after the England match replaying the local Uruguayan commentator - "booom booom booom Pistolerrroo" It was all too good to be true!

Cannot believe Mike has pulled the plug. I never knew what the 65 ment nor could I fathom how he posted so much but hopefully he will be back, the old bugger. In tribute I will keep the option of Mike65istheman as a new username should the worst happen. Yes as an option I said....

And to top everything off Willmunny is back on the scene! This place keeps me young!

Utopia Parkway

Unless we get Sanchez and 50M+ I would not touch any deal from Barcelona. As mad as he is it's crazy difficult to replace a genuine world class player and unless we get a great deal I would not even entertain it.

Fifa can smell my helmet, they have no mandate for the ****e they are spewing.

Would be interesting to see fifa'a lawyers trying to defend those clauses in a right to work case if taken by Suarez/Liverpool/Warrior/any of his other sponsors.

I'd be surprised if he stays & we don't mount some sort of a legal challenge to this. Those details aren't the biggest issue from our perspective obviously, but they are definitely the low hanging fruit.

Will I Amnt

Had plenty of little niggles with mike65 but he was a decent lad behind it all. Never one to hold a grudge or drag things down below a certain level. It's not nice to see someone feel the need to close their account, hopefully he will be back in some other form.

So have we signed any defenders yet?

I'll admit, I've only seen this Guy on a couple of EL Games. But judging from his Youtube Vid, he does play similarly to Lallana.

We must be Buying all the Lallanas in the World.

Defenders?

Where were going we don't need defenders.

Actually we do, only Lovren was linked.

Francie Barrett

Guess I am the only one worried about Lallana. £50M in wages and transfer fees just strikes me as too much money. If he bombs, were going to take a hell of a bath (again).

Big Sam and West Ham to the rescue if he bombs!

MD1990

I think Markovic from the litte I have seen in the Europa League for 25m is too much.
I would proven if we signed Shaqiri & Sanchez.

Sponsors don't give a ****. Liverpool are in the CL that's all that matters. Is there any proof that the past bans have had any affect on commercial activity.

That's a completely naive comment. Sponsors want to be associated with positive role models and don't want to be associated with negative role models. They are building and protecting brands not trying to devalue their brands by having disgusting behaviour associated with them.

100% agree with this. Set up a siege mentality. **** every other club and its fans. Who cares what they think or say. Add in Sanchez to the mix. Add quality not replace it and build on what was a fantastic season.

On a related note, was chatting to a friend who watches the Portuguese league and wasn't impressed with Markovich one bit. He said maybe for around 10 million he would be ok. I then told him the figure touted is closer to 20 million.

Thinks we are insane spending that on him.
