Luis Suarez: The Bite - Part 3

I'm done.....

John Barnes was bang on the money when he said we should not fall in love with Luis how right he was,

I don't give a S***, As gordan strachan said the other day on itv, football has no morals, Keep Suarez!!! Barca can do 1 they've got Rakitic now! Either Messi can come or they can f.o 

One thing that everyone is forgetting about joining Barca is that Suarez will reject Brendan Rodgers for, erm, Luis Enrique.

Good luck with that I say.

Don't know about his managerial career, but he was a boss footballer!

With luis his motivation is greed bigger bucks with barca. but if you look at micheal owens and torres goal scoring   went south after leaving the reds. Perhaps his knee operation not be durable over the medium term.So i think his move to barca will be pear shaped quite frankly.

One of my Manc 'Mates' reckons he has a 'bite clause' built into a Barca contract how the fucks that gonna work!
If he bites on day one they can only withhold wages and transfer him, so they both lose out and on he moves, AGAIN !

Steve what are you doing associating with Manc(y) Mates.

What are you basing that on?

It's wrong to think that money is the root of this..

Barca is his dream club, sometimes we need to take a step back and look at things sensibly, he has always spoken of wanting to play there, his wife has lived there when she left Uruguay, her family still live there, Luis came to Europe to eventually settle with her in Spain and preferably Barcelona..

Liverpool may be the bee all and end all for us and rightly so but it isn't for some kid from South America..

Sometimes we need to not spout bollocks and just accept these things, remember the good times and wish them luck.

Then move on to your next hero..

I can only wish him well and whilst his agent maybe motivated by money I do not think this is Luis's motivation for moving. Last season we witnessed one of the worlds best players take the premier league apart and it will be good to look back and remember just how much he did for us. Still hope he stays but good luck to the lad whatever he does.

Mate, wasn't Real Madrid his dream club last season???

Not as I recall..

He spoke about Barca when he first signed for us.. But his dream was Spain really, not overly a specific club

Anyway I'm talking that I don't think it's motivated by money is all

he has family based in Barcelona apparently I think we sometimes forget these lads are a long way from home regardless of the money they earn they can still feel homesick.

Yes it was.

Bus load of prepubescent school kids brought up on the Manc sh*te for the last 12 yrs or so are all in my charge on the school run every morning .
Feel like distracting the driver now and again and wiping them all out

Fair enough Steve, when Manure have another season (this season) like the last one they will jump ship like drowned rats.

You know what - I'm bizarrely relaxed about it.

Of course I hoped he'd stay but, brilliant as he was last season, I did say that it would never be 100% the same for me after the Arsenal carry on and his sulking at Stevie's testimonial. So though I loved every nutmeg, every change of direction, every bemused looking defender /keeper and every goal or assist I never allowed myself to truly fall in love with him again.

For what it's worth I don't think it's about money and I don't think it's personal - he's always been working his way to the top level and Spain. We can only give him one of those two.

Cest la vie.

Doesn't matter anyway, I don't  give a f**k, it's not upsetting me in the slightest

He wants Spain to be with his family.. Fine I can live with that, I have a family as well that I'd keep happy with any decision I made

 Compromise mate, let's get his in laws to live in Liverpool.

The scope of Luis Suarez's four-month ban "from all football-related activity" is still unclear, two weeks after the punishment was handed down.

The 27-year-old Uruguay striker was suspended after biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini in a World Cup match.

Players' union Fifpro argue the details "lack clarity" and a legal expert says the sanctions will be tough to enforce.

Football's world governing body Fifa has refused BBC Sport's requests to explain the details of the ban.
 It did, however, confirm that under the terms of the ban, Suarez, who is also banned for nine international matches, cannot train with his club and is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium during his suspension.

Yet neither the Football Association, Professional Footballers' Association nor his club Liverpool understand the full implications of the sanction.

To assess the extent of the ban, BBC Sport sent a list of more than 20 scenarios together to Fifa, as well as the FA, the PFA and Liverpool.

None were able to provide definitive answers or explain how it would be policed, with Fifa declining to comment. But the PFA did provide its interpretation, set out at the bottom of this story.

Fifa has said Suarez cannot play for his club, or Barcelona should a proposed move to La Liga go through in that four-month period, though he would be allowed to have a medical in order for a transfer to be completed prior to the August deadline.

Fifa has sent its findings to the FA, although as the manuscript arrived in Spanish, officials there have had to get it translated.

"We agree that the sanction lacks clarity," said a Fifpro spokesman.

"The concept of being banned from all football-related activities is not defined."

Specialist sports solicitor Thomas Barnard of Thomas Eggar LLP believes the ban has inherent difficulties in policing and enforcing.

"'Football related activity' should be considered in the context of Fifa's jurisdiction to govern football, since it can only look to prevent Suarez from doing something where it has power to do so.

"Fifa does not have control over amateur football conducted outside of a national federation's control.

"So the ban will not stop Suarez having a kickabout with his friends and there is no need for him to train without a ball."

The case remains subject to appeal.
The PFA's take on what Suarez cannot do during the ban

A statement from FIFA read: "The FIFA Appeal Committee has decided to reject the appeals lodged by both the Uruguayan player Luis Suárez and the Uruguayan FA, and to confirm the decision rendered by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee on 25 June 2014 in its entirety.

"The terms of the decision taken by the FIFA Appeal Committee were communicated to the player and the Uruguayan FA [on Thursday].

"The relevant decision is not yet final and binding, i.e. an appeal to the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) is still possible (cf. art. 67 par. 1 of the FIFA Statutes) by the player and/or the Uruguayan FA, subject to certain conditions."

Does "Subject to certain conditions" mean, "Unless he is transferred to Barcelona"?
