Suarez

[NipHolmes]

If we are trying to sell a playet that gives us negative headlines then I'm sure we wouldn't replace with another.

Top quality player who'd thrive on our service but imo not a chance. Falcoa, Cavani or Jovetic are the likely candidates.

I think this is Liverpool end hoping we make a bid and Brendon will say give us Dzeko and 15m and he's yours

We are very fortunate with all the players we have signed I can honestly say non of them are cheats on the football field, Bellamy was never a cheat just a little sxxt where as Suarez is a cheat on the field, I for one don't want him at my club.

Swap Mario for Dzeko and I'd bite their arm off.

Three consecutive Tweets from Simon Mullock at the Mirror:

Just had a call from a very senior source at MCFC. Been told there has been no move for Luis Suarez and there are no plans to bid.

Lot of anger at the Etihad about being linked with Suarez. MCFC think LFC are trying to create a market for their most prized asset

Suarez story written by Merseyside-based reporters. Clearly briefed by LFC. What the motive is for misinformation is a matter of conjecture

 

[omcfc]

Hell no!

 

[NipHolmes]

Quite clearly LFC trying to make a market for him. Can't believe how far that club has regressed since winning the CL.

Surely hold up play, and passing is a feature of Dzeko's play? Certainly better in this respect than Aguero who is most fans favourite striker (and mine too)

Suarez wont come to City. But I'd love to see him here. I don't get the ethics brigade. You know nothing about the man. Don't even go there. The very fact you dowhen you don't know him destroys your argument in one.

The biggest asset in sport is will power. There are some players who when they cross that line give everything no matter what the game. Suarez, Barton, Tevez are the 3 best examples of that. Pure coincidence that they are shrouded in controversy

Dont agree with much of this.
I would like to think our owners were very concerned with ethics and public image.
We dont need to know the private life of Suarez to know his lack of self control and public behaviour on the pitch is totally unacceptable.
Some players are devisive and do more harm than good in a club.
All the players you quote lack self control and have significantly de-valued themselves by their poor conduct despite a tremendous football talent.
Ideally our club should be filled with role models who show that a team can succeed with talent, effort and teamwork without resorting to cheating.

Why would Liverpool try and create a market in January for their best player ?

Makes no logical sense whatsoever. If there is genuinely no interest from City, then linking us isn't going to create a market, it's going to scare off the rest of the world. I wouldn't buy a player City were being linked with unless I was Roman, because I'd know I was going to be ripped off.

Way more to this than meets the eye IMO...

If we were to buy a Liverpool player I'd much rather have Sterling. He'd give us something we're lacking in pace, would complement the players we've got. Love to see him playing in front of Silva.

Although an admirable POV, I think it's a bit naive to be honest. The owners aren't going to have a huge say in who we sign - that's going to be down to Txiki and Roberto. The two of them for their part are going to be concerned primarily with success on the pitch rather than with what the public image of a player is.

Maybe the left hand and right hand should talk to each other a little more often.

This story originally came from City as far as I'm aware.

So you disagree with Brennan?

It's fairly unusual for City to rubbish a story so quickly.

Was told about this yesterday morning (the Suarez link). I don't know anyone at LFC.

Also ... I think there was plenty of "don't want him at our club" when we signed Bellamy.

Suarez is by all accounts a model pro on the training pitch, lives his life the right way, keeps his head down and works hard. You may not like what he does on the field, but that's because he doesn't play for us. If he did it'd be different ...

I know all football fans (myself included) have a tendency to be fickle but surely we all draw the line at someone who has; spat at, bitten and been racist towards other players, however talented they are.

I imagine the owners would give the "green light" to any major purchase. If they are aware of the huge negative publicity that the acquisition of such a hated figure may bring to their club I would like to think they would question it.

Could be just agents

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

From RAWK

Just reading the City forums and the usual shite gets trotted out about how he is a racist twat etc etc etc. Its honest laughable how he gets labelled racist when he is a quarter fucking black.

It does my fucking head in.

How on fucks earth can someone be "a quater fucking black"

I'd like to know what Tolmie has to say on this.

Personally, I'd love him here.

Oh and for the record, I did discuss it in a PM with someone yesterday too (the Suarez link) in case you think I've just pulled the "i heard about it yesterday morning" out of my arse!
