La información que tenemos @AgenciaNews es que la nueva sanción a @luis16suarez será de 5 PARTIDOS y 1 MES
Twitter peoples saying his ban will be reduced to 5 international games, 1 month
I'd be very annoyed if he goes to Barca with that
I know what you mean (assuming this is genuine), but I don't think it really matters TBH. He was never going to stay this time, and such a development may have helped to persuade Barca not to play silly b*****s over the fee by undermining their attempts to negotiate a discount.
It's just that if a ban reduction occurs I can't help but think it'll be because he went to darling Barcelona.
I don't think we could sell him AND sue him could we? I mean, if we sold him then the ban wouldn't have any impact on us so we couldn't claim damages.
Did it say for what, exactly?
It's probably based on this

Can't see it happening
I think it was over diminishing value and it's impact on club sponsors etc.
94.6 million euros ... I'll take it.
[article=http://sixcrazyminutes.com/index.php?threads/so-luis-to-barca.51152/page-19]Luis had told me about the Barcelona interest in November last year a few days before the Jordan match. At that time the talks between Liverpool and Barcelona were very good and an agreement was arranged back then.
After the amazing season he had Liverpool did not want to sell him understandably and they began to back out of the deal they made with Barcelona in November last year.
Luis got word of this a day after the victory against England. He was a changed man, he got upset and his head was elsewhere. He could barely train with the rest of the team. I had to have him train with a different group from the main squad.[/article]
Seems like bullshit but I wouldn't put it past the cunt.

Think Tabarez said that on the radio too. Wouldn't surprise me, it's a bit like when we pretended that the Torres deal came out of the blue on the last day of the window, when they'd been working on it for some time.
Semi using it as an excuse for his behaviour is bollocks though.

No way would Barca come direct to us with Suarez and his agent knowing nothing about it. Not their style at all.
More excuse making bollocks.
If this is true, I'd be interested to hear why Suarez did an interview before the World Cup, claiming that reports of him moving were wrong and that he was "looking forward to the new season". Lying cunt.
He can't come out of this 'clean' one way or another ...
Absolutely. However, it's not like the Uruguayan national team to paint Suarez as a victim so I don't know what to believe.*
* I do know what to believe.

Hristo Stoichkov warns Luis Suarez
Former Barcelona forward Hristo Stoichkov has told Sport "the bites will be a problem" for Luis Suarez if he moves to the Camp Nou and warned that opponents and the media will try to provoke him into offending again.
Suarez is expected to join Barca from Liverpool in the coming days for a fee of around 80 million euros, despite currently being suspended from all football activity for four months for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini while playing for Uruguay at the current World Cup.
The 27-year-old had previously served two suspensions for biting at club level when playing for Ajax and Liverpool, and was also banned for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra during a Premier League game.
Ex-Bulgaria international Stoichkov, who was also a talented attacker who had regular problems controlling his temper on the pitch, said that Suarez was a gifted player but would be a 'marked man' in future.
"I have read about the transfer," Stoichkov said. "He seems a really good player to me, one of the best forwards, with the character required to play for the biggest clubs -- but the bites are going to be a problem!
"He is marked for the rest of his life. To play at Barca with what he has done is a problem. Every opponent and the referees and the press will make his life difficult. He will have to play with provocation and media attention, which will leave him in permanent tension."
Stoichkov -- who infamously stamped on the foot of referee Ildefonso Urizar Azpitarte during a match against Real Madrid in December 1990 -- said after that incident he faced extra provocation from both opponents and journalists.
"I made a mistake with the stamp on Urizar and what came afterwards was very hard," he said. "What is going to come to Luis Suarez will be the same. Opposition players will provoke you, they will look for violent reactions, try to get you out of the game.
"And if you are hot-blooded -- well, sometimes it takes a lot to control yourself. Plus, referees are more worried about your reaction than what they say to you. Every game is a psychological war. And then there is the journalism, which also puts on pressure so that you can make some good copy. It is not easy. You must be a bit special to live with that."
Stoichkov said Suarez should now concentrate on getting counselling to overcome his tendency to lose control on the pitch and let others focus on getting his ban reduced so he could return to play as soon as possible.
"I say to Luis Suarez that he should try and fix his problem, and fight to achieve his dreams," he said. "Now he can rest, free himself mentally from the mistake at the World Cup and think all will go well.
"It is clear that if he has bitten three times there is something that is not working and must be sorted out. I know he has already worked on his aspect, and must keep doing it because at Barca he will have to live under pressure 24 hours a day and, of course, he cannot make that mistake again. Now, despite everything, he must be positive. His agent and the lawyers can work on his punishment. I believe it will be smaller in the end."
Meanwhile, Gerard Deulofeu has joined a long list of Camp Nou figures to welcome the impending transfer.
"I believe [Suarez] is a very interesting player," the winger said in Mundo Deportivo. "For me he is one of the best forwards in the world. If it works out he would be a great signing."
Deulofeu, who is returning to Barca after a season on loan at Premier League side Everton, said he was looking forward to the challenge of fighting for a place in the first team despite the prospect of competition from Suarez, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Pedro Rodriguez and possibly Alexis Sanchez.
"Yes, these are the best players around, but I have a lot of confidence in myself," he said. "I believe in my chances, and that working day to day I can achieve my goals."

He's the greatest cunt to ever play football for Liverpool. There's no debate.
It would be nice, just like that scene in Fawlty Towers when Bernard Cribbins gets called back so that Fawlty can stick a custard pie in his face and then knock him out.
Nah, at least he gave 100 % when he played and was good at football. That alone places him below the likes of Diouf and Itandje on the cunt list.
