We can't blame FIFA, Suarez got what he deserved... If anything it was a light punishment considering his history.

Linked to this Origi kid from Belgium, been watching him this morning looks a talent but completely different player to Suarez

This ban will stay...

FIFA were always safe in giving out a total football ban in this instance... Such was the widespread condemnation across the world the only people who would even consider appealing and defending him are the Uruguayans.

Liverpool would face outrage and disgust from the Media, the general public and probably from there own fans and more importantly there own sponsors if they try and fight this ban.

I was speaking with a big Liverpool fan yesterday and he was thinking a life ban was more appropriate for him... Which I originally chuckled at...

But he made a good point.. The guy has bitten 3 different people... And he's been found guilty of a racist slur.

At the very least he should be looking at a year out of the sport.

While this ban is hard on Liverpool... They reaped the reward of sticking by him through all his previous issues by him scoring a bucket load of goals and becoming the player of the season this season... Now they have to deal with a negative consequence of sticking by him.

You can't have it both ways unfortunately...

Worst thing is he has put Liverpool in a lose-lose situation...

Before the bite there was talk of $80-86 million transfer fee which means for us we could have potentially brought in an extra 3-5 first team players. Obviously you can't just go and replace a player of Suarez's ability (Tottenham and Bale proved that) but in the long term at least we would of added to the squad as a whole and it would have eased the pain.

Now after thisincident if there are any clubs that are still interested, now considering they know they can't use him for four months you would have to assume its going to knock a considerable amount off his transfer fee.

On the other side of the coin if he is to stay then we are going to have to be forking out four months of his wages for no return. Add to this the fact that after being out of the CL for so long, we now face missing our best player in the first few crucial games.

If we grow a set and fine him or dock his wages during this time then it will just p*ss him off and he will carry on like a pork chop like at the start of last season and potentially put the whole squad into a funk.

Liverpool have to act quickly and decide which path they want to take, thus if we decide to cash in (at a lesser cost) at least they can start targetting replacements. After the WC finishes the transfer market is going to go Bananas.

Entirely reflects what I've been thinking in the past day.

The sentence which I highlighted is wrong- Suarez is completely banned from everything, including transfers. So even selling him at a discount is not an option, we've got no other choice than to keep him and just cop the fact that we will be missing our best player for the first 13 games because he's such a f**king lunatic.

Every time we come off a good season, something totally f**ks us up in the off-season. In 2002 it was our shit recruitment. In 2009 it was losing Alonso. Now this year it's Suarez :crazy:

I swear I read somewhere that the ban had no effect on the transfer window/ability to be sold? So if some some other club wanted to take up the burden they were more than welcome

Oh, right then. Everyone was saying he's banned from the administration side too, obviously incorrect now...

Atleast we weren't stupid to pay the 30m they wanted. Guessing saints won't be reinvesting the shaw and now Lallana money. Was always a chance Lallana staying if they re invested. Origi bid has come out of nowhere as well as it seems we may have snuck under the spuds nose for once with one. Loaned straight back to parent club tho I think.

Luis has to be sold tho and you just know Barca and Madrid will still be all over him. Won't be ridiculous 100m anymore but it'll still be big $$$ IMO.

Club has to address LB now. Moreno seems completely off as well. Wish we'd re ignite our interest in Rodriguez of Wolfburg or Rojo. Just so much better options than Moreno.
