Suarez: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Luis Suarez is irrefutably the third best player in world football with only Messi and Ronaldo ahead of the brilliant Uruguayan.  The question had already been asked as to whether Liverpool's brilliant talisman would stay even before yesterday comments.

The real question is he why should he?  Unless his undoubted talents are matched in the transfer market then the world class departure list of Alonso, Mascherano and Torres may yet have an additional member.  Foreigners have never had much allegiance to one club so should we expect anything else of this one?  It's time John Henry and Iain Ayre woke up to the situation and met the challenges that lie ahead.

His reported comments in Uruguay will fan the flames.  He is reported as having said, "I am very happy at Liverpool, but you never know in football.  If another team comes around with more prospects of competing in international club competition games, which is willing to have me, they are welcome.

'We would talk to the club, we would see if I want to go, if I don’t want to go.'

'A player’s ambition is always there, the ambition of wanting to play in elite teams is always there.  "If another team comes around with more prospects of competing in international club competition games, which is willing to have me, they are welcome,

'I’m in a world-class team, an elite team like Liverpool.

'We have to realise we have a new manager who is imposing a philosophy and a way of playing that the players are adapting to as best we can.

'We hope that it will bear fruit next year.'

Even great players need help and Suarez is no exception to the rule.
