Anyone seriously saying we are interested in Suarez can't be believed IMO. I just ciuld not imagine our club wanting him....I could see the Sheik stomaching Rooney before Suarez.
I can see Suarez given serious consideration
I can't.
What you have to realise is that, with Suarez, you have to completely ignore his footballing abilities and focus on his impact on City's reputation. You know, at some point, he'll do or say something unacceptable, and be hit with a lengthy ban. It's in his nature and he can't help himself. He's a racist, violent, foul mouthed footballer. City are not in a place where we can afford to be linked with someone like him. We are trying to attract commercial partners, sponsors and other global partners, they want to be associated with a successful club, who bring positive recognition to them, Suarez would bring negativity both on our partners and on our owners (and by association Abu Dhabi).
Look at how much damage Suarez has done to Liverpool's reputation, and they are a globally recognised club with a great deal of good will afforded to them. City are not there yet in terms of global recognition and opportunitites, we can't afford to hinder that with the antics of just one player.
