      What's this talk of Barca and where is it coming from? From the quotes given about him wanting to play for a massive club when he was at Ajax? Guess what, his wish came true and he's here. No more Barca talk.

      He has specifically admitted that he would love to play for Barca ...

      Suarez: 'I dream of playing for Barcelona'

      Published 14:15 03/07/11

      Luis Suarez has admitted he has always dreamt of playing for Barcelona, but insists he is committed to Liverpool for now.

      He also has a direct link to the Spanish champions as his agent is Pere Guardiola - the brother of Barca boss Pep.

      Suarez said: “Before knowing Pere, I had that dream of playing for Barcelona.

      “Obviously he is connected to Barcelona through his brother but these are work issues, totally different to personal ones.

      “If Pep Guardiola wants me, he will want me totally independently of who represents me.

      “But for now, Liverpool is the only club I want to play for.”

      The Uruguayan star also revealed Reds boss Kenny Dalglish has played a big part in helping him to settle on Merseyside and play in front of the Kop.

      Suarez said: “There are so many people watching you. You feel the pressure of what the club has paid for you.

      “But I tried to live as calmly as I could, not to think about the people watching me.

      “The boss told me to be the same player I always was, not to try to change.

      “His advice was a great help and he was not wrong – he was exactly right.”

      He will very likely go there in the future ... Hopefully, not so soon ...

      Unreachable..depends on how you define it. If you're insisting that he said we're lacking compared to them, it's your say. I do think what he really meant was in terms of cash spending.

      Beat the Mancs next weekend and ask him again...

      Suarez: I was wrong. Let's do this.



      I'm sure he'll give his all out on the pitch regardless of what he thinks of the other teams around us.

      And him wanting to leave us when we're conquering domestically and on the European front again.

      You can't say for sure that he will leave if an offer comes in aka Torres. There's no saying he has the amazingly shallow qualities of character that Torres seemingly possesses, who can say what heights LFC can reach which could also affect any decision and he has given no positive inication that he is going anywhere.

      Why are we talking about Suarez going to Barca ffs ?, he aint even been here a season yet and in repsone to the original post, well lost in translation me thinks, move on nothing to see here except the usual person making a tit of himself.

      He may think City Chelsea etc are untouchable in terms of money, but we'll see how untouchable Luis thinks they are when get them on the pitch.

      I think some people have the 'once bitten, twice shy' mentality. After being stabbed in the back by Torres, people are naturally more cautious towards Suarez, in case he does the same to us, I'm not saying he will by any means, but people will understandably be more detached for a while.

      Of course they would want him ... They are not stupid ...

      Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing him for at least another 2-3 seasons in the red shirt, before he makes his dream move ...

      Proper grammar, please.

      His dream move right now is getting in to the box and scoring for Liverpool so until that changes, i have no concerns.

      I can understand what Luis means he looks at it from the season so far but there are a few things to sort out yet and one should be Stevie to replace Adam and Henderson do his learning from the bench while bringing Kuyt back, a more balanced team and a stronger one. Then we have Carroll and if he gets his game going then who knows even if he stands still there is always Bellamy to fill in, he's no bad option if Carroll can't cut it, even Luis may be surprised.

      Seems to me when Luis said Untouchable, he was meaning they have a few years more of squad building, and we are behind them in that aspect. I agree with him that a cup is our best chance of a trophy (Pretty obvious really), but I have to believe he thinks winning the league is possible. Whenever we beat the Mancs, he'll definitely believe it.

      Re-quoting, just for emphasis.

      I think the fact he is only just getting a handle on our language should really be taken into account. I highly doubt Suarez has given up hope on the title - and regardless, I know he only has one style of play when on the pitch - 100%. That's all I need to know, and I have full trust in him to do that. Something I didn't have in Nando for a long time.

      Its a pdf file in italian, the original interview. Scroll dow and choose "slow download"
      In a nutshell, as you might guess, its a TRANSLATION from the original interview in SPANISH TO ITALIAN, and it was then TRANSLATED AGAIN to ENGLISH.

      So...unless they had me translating, im pretty sure they fu**ed up.
      Unreachable was translated from INTRATABLE. thats a figure of speech in Uruguay.
      When someone plays very, very, very well, we say he is INTRATABLE (impossble to deal with)...but its also impossible to translate its whole meaning. But then again, impossible for us just means you have to try a little harder. ;)

      Again, lost in translation

      As for Barcelona. I have watched many interviews with the lad, and in spanish, all he ever said was the obvious: they are the best team in the world at the moment.  NEVER heard( HEARD!!) him say anything about him wanting to play there AFTER his move to Liverpool

      I think its a load of 'Bolas' meself, why the F**k should he come out and say anything after all we're playing the Mankers next, could it be that the gamesmanship is at the forefront of luis's mind, we're on;y six games in and we're hanging on to the Mancunian coat tails along with the plastics, they allahve CL football to contend with especially in the new year,

      i believe we wil not only take points off all these so called big guns, i honestly dont think we will lose to any of them,home and away, i can see us just getting better and better while the pressure builds and builds on them, we have nothing to lose, so we can be a tad more gung ho, we're not expected to win the league,and to some no where near it, but i can remember a certain match in May '05' when no kunt gave us a chance after 45 mins, we have another 32 matches ahead of us, there will be ups as well as downs in the coming months,and i include everyone in there,

      Luis may have spoke out of turn or whatever, but we all know whatever he said would be stretched and twisted to sell arsewipe paper, and of course that other pro-Manc media outlet,sky,willmake a mountain out of a gnats nipple.
