Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
That doesn't have anything to pave his way to Liverpool in fact he wants a team that plays good attacking football which we didn't do since May 2009.
Articles is appreciated though, hope he signs.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
if we pull this off... i will be delighted.
Im still gutted about Babel. He has the ability to be a game winner. Wherever he will go he is likely to score shit loads of amazing goals.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
Shame it doesn't directly mention liverpool in any of the quotes, or england for that matter but having the same agent as torres is a slight positive.
I think he's a bit of a dick, but he's a proper goal scorer - yes please

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
I can't recall ever seeing Suarez in my entire life, so I'm not arsed if we sign him or not.
I think people may over rate him. I mean he's got a similar goal-scoring rate to Kuyt in Holland, and Kuyt, as hard as he tries, is a bit of a fuck up for us. He's not the striker we wanted him to be.
Is Suarez really going to be any different?
I'd rather splash the cash on Bent.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
Kuyt hasn't been the striker we wanted but he's hardly been a fuck-up. He was one of Benitez's better buys and should always be remembered as one.
As for Suarez, his record in Holland is even better than Kuyt's. He's scored over 100 goals for Ajax - only the 4th player in their history to do so - the previous three being van Basten, Cryuff, and Bergkamp. Just saying like.
He's quicker and more skilful than Kuyt and has that killer instinct which only Gerrard and Torres have in our squad. I'd be made up if we signed him. I do like Bent, and while he's Prem proven, he's also injury prone and someone who can't play alongside Torres (being very similar). Suarez can play as a second striker/winger which is a big advantage. There is obviously a risk in buying anyone from outside England, but Suarez really does have the attributes of a world class player.

It's a bit ignorant to write him off despite never having seen him play. I've seen more of Suarez for Uruguay than for Ajax, but what impressed me most was the strike partnership he formed with Forlan - with Suarez playing the no10, Dalglish-esque role. Given how thin we are in midfield, it makes sense to play Gerrard there, and that gives us a big hole just behind Torres.
I think they could work well together. Obviously, many of us thought the same thing about Keane and it didn't happen, so there are no guarantees, but I'd be excited if we signed him.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
Seriously?
Splash the cash on someone who couldn't even make the England squad for the World Cup... as opposed to someone who was in one of the most formidable strike forces at the World Cup, having scored 3 himself?
I liked Bent's quote the other season - "I'm gonna score 30 goals this season" :laugh:

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
Yep. i think trying to find a strike partner for Torres will be very difficult...
Someone who can create their own goals.. create space and largely play as a pivot of sorts for Torres to run off..
Imagine Baros and Torres together.. they would run into each other constantly.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
Any move that brings us a talented, coveted striker AND gets rid of that useless lump Babel is fine by me. I can't see how yet another manager will go yet another transfer window without bringing in a striker. The gap between Torres and Ngog is just too great and has to be rectifed in the next two weeks.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
The only possible way that Kenny wouldn't bring in a striker is if FSG refuse him the money.
So we'll know who to blame if we get not attacking recruits.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
Agree to an extent, but what if he can't sign someone he really wants because they're ridiculously priced or don't want to move here? Does he then go for "near enough is good enough", as we did with Pennant for example?

I really like him, I think he's got that bit of finesse in the final third that we severely lack and I'd swap him with Babel in a heartbeat. He's never really struck me as an out and out striker anyway, but putting another one up top wouldn't be the end of our woes, because we lack variation and creativity in the final third anyway. That said, I'd be happy with Bent aswell, but we need a supply line too and a bit of something different.

Yes kuyt hasnt got the same strike rate in england but he's only one example. I seem to remember a certain RVN banging in the goals for the scum. Hes a hungry player and works a lot harder than darren bent! Id love if we signed him!

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
I think Bent is good enough, but I've never really thought he'd come to us even if we were in for him. He was almost visibly relieved to be playing regularly again for the Mackems after his wilderness years at Tottenham, and I'm not sure even Torres' injury record would persuade him that he'd continue to play as often for us.
From what I've seen of Suarez he's a similar player to that wetback Chicharito who's doing well for the Mancs, plus he's older and (I think) a bit bigger so you'd have to hope he could take to the Prem even better. If the King rates him, that'll do for me.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
As fans we have a real tendency to overrate our own players with our rose-tinted glasses.
I think for many, Babel comes into that category. He really isnt as good as we'd like to think.
My worry about Suarez is that he seems to be a massive twat and I imagine he'll be angling for a move to Real Madrid or Barca as soon as either (a) he does well, or (b) we underperform

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
Babel is an obvious choice for an exit. He is young and has physical attributes, other members of our squad are going to be hard to shift as they are aging and slow as fuck and are on ridiculously high wages

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
I like this link, but i'm not getting excited till we actually get the lad.
Also, if we are only going to get just one player, i'd have liked us to get a midfielder (wide or defensive central - doesn't matter), because i fear without addressing that gaping hole we will still struggle to dominate teams.......whatever, i won't complain as long as we add at least one quality player.
Also, i'd worry about a player being a twat etc much less than the possibility of not strengthening the squad. In fact, i think we need a couple of twats who have confidence.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
Suarez would be an instant improvement even though he can seem a bit of a twat at times.
Apart from his eye for goal (he does squander a lot of chances for Ajax too mind), eye for his teammates and general determination he's a very shrewd set-piece taker as well.
He hits a mean bending free-kick, and he often hits them with great power too.
Although a bit on the small side stature wise he's build more like Tevez than Silva why I don't reckon that'll be a problem.
As said would be a good signing and would improve us immediately. And as he's still very young he'd be one for the future as well.

Was he? That's not how I remember it. Forlan seemed to be the one on the end of Suarez's passes/crosses, rather than the other way round.
