Luis Suarez has never been a stranger to controversies; he’s always been in the news for one or the other, more negative than positive. Anyway, we have been entertained by the rumor that Barcelona is ready to offer a whopping sum in the range of £70 to £80 million to render the services of the tainted striker. We, here at thefootballmind.com have analyzed the situation and come up with a solution that could best serve the Merseyside club.
Here are four reasons why Liverpool should get rid of Luis Suarez:
1. They will get a huge sum of £70+ million:
It would be silly of Brendan Rodgers to not consider this offer, especially considering that his team needs a lot of reinforcement in defense and midfield. With this sum they can get strengthen their squad much more as they will now be competing for 4 trophies UEFA Champions League being one of them.
2. Luiz Suarez is banned for 4 months:
The Uruguayan has been banned for 4 months from engaging in any form of competitive football, during which period he is not allowed to even practice with his peers. The ban translates to roughly 10 League matches. Considering Liverpool will be title contenders it would be 10 matches they cannot gamble upon.
3. Liverpool needs reinforcements to their line-up:
As mentioned earlier, Liverpool will be competing for 4 trophies which beg for more depth in the squad and better players who are match ready. They will also need more options in terms of players available as this will be one hell of a tiring season for the Kops. They failed miserably in defense conceding 50 goals ranking as the 8th best defense in the Premier League. Those aren’t the stats one would want to associate with a club like Liverpool.
4. Liverpool could do what Tottenham did, but successfully:
Tottenham Hotspurs failed to capitalize on Gareth Bale’s sale as the buys they made ended up exploding in their faces. Liverpool could do better with the money and succeed in building a more talented squad that is ready to step up and face the music. Their fallacies in certain areas of the pitch are apparent and needs a complete revamp in terms of new players.
The sale would definitely improve Liverpool’s chances for their title hopes this season, they can also put up a good performance in the UEFA Champions League to which they are returning after a long hiatus.
