Handsome words, matched by his play. Had they been matched more consistently by his behaviour, he'd have been an all-time hero.
You'll feel better when you get to see Suarez and Mascherano give referees a simultaneous hand flip and sarcastic cunt smile. Especially when it happens to Howard Webb in the Champions League.

Has he always had hair like Lionel Richie?
he's a prick
So you've said
Got to say, the clubs response has been impeccable throughout the last few weeks, not getting drawn into mud throwing, just quietly washing their hands of him and dignified goodbyes from the club captain and manager aswell as the club itself.
He has made a massive contribution to getting us back in the thick of it, you can't take that away from him. I don't particularly wish him well in footballing terms, but I hope he has a happy healthy life with his family in Spain.
I just hope we push on now and don't allow ourselves to be mugs to selling clubs. I hope we buy the right players with the right mentality for playing here and pushing on to us winning something significant.

I'm not as bothered as I was when Torres went.
Good business to get the release clause given he was suspended for a quarter of our league season.
He was a wonderful player but he's dragged our club through the mud.
If he hadn't been suspended if have wanted 1 more season out of him. However, it's clear from the release clause that he engineered his move this summer so it was inevitable.

I stand by my previous assessment that it's a travesty it wasn't a world record fee, but with a release clause whatcha gonna do?
I don't feel too pissy about it - it's a tidy sum and we got an excellent season out of him. Had it been 12 months previous I probably would've been spitting feathers, but now I'm feeling moderately sanguine about it.
Sure, it's gutting to lose such a brilliant player, and I rather suspect that more than the goals it will be the outrageous bits of skill that brought a smile to the face that we'll miss, but life goes on

Suarez was a few years older than the previous world record transfers and has/had a less than perfect disciplinary record. £75m was an absolutely brilliant fee to get for him.

Barcelona will not be allowed to publicly unveil new £75million signing Luis Suarez while he remains banned for biting, FIFA has confirmed.
Suarez is due to complete his move from Liverpool in the next few days, and the Catalan club has previously introduced star signings including Neymar and Cesc Fabregas to packed stadiums.
There have been suggestions Barcelona could hold a similar event for Suarez in a non-football venue to get around the four-month ban imposed on the Uruguay striker for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini, but FIFA has now confirmed to Press Association Sport that any such event will not be permitted while the ban remains in force.
FIFA's head of media Delia Fischer told Press Association Sport: "The ban relates to all football-related activity. He cannot be in a football-related public event irrespective of the venue.
"He cannot even be involved in a football-related charity event."
Suarez, 27, had his appeal against the four-month ban, plus a nine-match international and an 100,000 Swiss franc (£66,000) fine, rejected outright by FIFA's appeals committee.
He is expected to take his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in a final bid to reduce the sanctions that, as they stand, will keep him out of club football until the end of October.
Suarez can also ask CAS to put his ban on hold pending their final decision but that would risk him missing more matches rather than a chunk of the close season if the court upholds the sanctions.
Some 90,000 packed the Nou Camp stadium for the unveiling of Brazil forward Neymar in June 2013.
FIFA's original ban took into account that Suarez had shown no remorse for the biting incident, his third such attack in less than four years.
The player then did issue an official apology but it did not lead to any change of mind by the FIFA appeals panel.
Suarez's lawyer on Friday claimed the punishment was "blatantly draconian, totalitarian and fascist".
Alejandro Balbi told Spanish radio station Cope: "The right of a footballer to work is being violated, and football should be worried about that.
"The nine (international) games may seem excessive, but the fact that he can't watch a game of football, or train or carry out his job, we are talking about unpleasant things."

If that's even genuine, which I wouldn't bet on personally, I suspect it's more a case of him being pussy-whipped into it.
You seriously don't understand the Latin mentality !
Da Fuk have I just watched?!
