Our Suarez ...... not the racist one :)

If he was to get a promise of opportunities with the first team here he should stay. Seems silly to go to Barca and join the other ten future Xavi and Iniestas in their academy. If it is his dream to play for Barca it would make sense to stay and then go there later on, similar to Fabregas. If Alcantara makes a name for himself at Bayern, once Guardiola has finished his stint there I am sure he would look to return to the Nou Camp as well. Depends on what promises are made to him from either side. He is probably just as likely to feature here as he is there but he probably values the opportunities there more.

Perhaps but he'd probably made up his mind under Mancini to leave already. He expected chances during the period of the team's flailing last season but was consistently overlooked, and when you're in that state of mind and Barca come calling you there is only one option you are going to take.

Awful timing with his contract situation too, if he had more than one year to go we'd almost certainly have forced him to stay, by which time he may have experienced the opportunities he craved and have forgotten about wanting to leave anyway.

I think Deulofeu is one of his best mates also so at that age would be a big factor, nevermind the fact Barca is Barca and Manchester is not Barcelona. For him it will probably be a great move for him and help his development but it'd be sad to lose him.

£1.3million according to better sources than the Mail, but still low (though a profit). Have to hope there is some future sell-on clause included but wouldn't get my hopes up for that as with Suarez's contract soon to end, Barca will have had us cornered.
