Barca are making all kinds of positive noises about Suarez' appology, methinks he'll be going there...

.....hope we still get a % of the transfer

Yep it's pretty obvious - 30 million plus Sanchez would do me right now.

Sanchez is linked with arsenal, probably prefer living in London

I'm probably going to regret saying this, but am I the only one who thinks that a Neymar-Messi-Suarez forward line might not work that well? I think Suarez will want the ball too much.

Still a much better fit than Ibrahimovic to Barca.

I agree that Suarez is the slightly more selfish one of the three - so yours is not a ridiculous prediction. But if they click it will be magic. Scary sexy magic.

Now why didn't they do that with Hodgson.

To get Woy to leave, I'd have bought him a bike.

I thought that Messi and Neymar together was already a case of 1 prima ballerina too much.....so they went for a third

I can see Messi leaving Barca in the next year.

It's the same as the "4 fantasticos" they tried to make work a few years back with Henry-Messi-Eto'o-Ronaldinho.

Messi or Neymar will probably be injured by the time Suarez returns from his ban anyway. Even if they don't gel that well I fail to believe all 3 won't offer something. If Suarez can make a mockery out of some pretty physical defences in this league then he should have a ball in La a Liga against some of the tosh lower down in that league. Ronaldo and Messi score about 30-40 league goals a season most of the time so I'm expecting Suarez to get something similar not next season but certainly in the ones to come.

The problem is that Messi likes to be a one man show. Nobody has survived him. Not Eto'o, not Zlatan, not Alexis, not Villa, not Neymar, not anyone. Surely you've seen how Messi yells at anyone who shoots instead of passing to him. Nobody in either league had a worse defense than Fulham and the second place team conceded 50 ffs! So don't think it is going to be so easy for him. Neymar didn't even make double digits in goals last term.

it will work, because Suarez is a willing runner in the defensive sense of the world and we have added rakitic to the midfield to do this also. the most important part of the three working is not the attacking link, we will score goals regardless. we scored a lot last season and we will continue to do so.

the important bit is that they don't let us lose out defensive shape, which we did last season with neymar a aging xavi and two wing backs.

which we did with the fantastic four as well. but as suarez is a willing runner and rakitic is pretty much there just to run(you'll see) Luis, is trying to keep a defensive shape, which we have lost since pep's last season.

Willing runner is not the same as Luis saying he is going to score 40 goals a season. It won't happen.

maybe close to 40 in all comps not in la liga, 20+ in la liga.

its the fact that he is a willing runner than will make the system work, how much goal he will get isn't so important.

he will get 20+ easy though, he is a much better finisher than neymar and can operate in close spaces, neymar is still wake in this department

Luis said in la liga because liga defenses are so shit.

Players regularly getting more goals than games, no matter how good they are, is embarrassing for a league in this day and age.

Not next season but the one after he'll easily get 30 plus league goals. As I've said, La Liga became a farce when it was Ronaldo vs Messi every week scoring braces and hatricks.

It didn't even happen last season. I think those days and the days of 100 points winning the league are over.

it certainly does matter who they are, because beyond those two, no one else is doing it, so it can't be that easy.

I feel those days will return this season, messi and ronaldo were both really off from last season

No one said it was easy, but unless they are the 2 greatest players of all time by a comfortable margin, something is up with the league and it's competitiveness.

I mean you think they were off form last season, even though Messi got 28 in 31, and Ronaldo got 31 in 30.
