A Scouse mate of mine said to me this afternoon "if Luis ever goes to OT, I'll personally drive over to Manchester and pull his friggin' teeth out!"

[youll never walk alone it]

Thought he said last week he wanted to play for ajax again at some point..

Messi looks like he's on another planet, and that beard is getting bushier - time for a trim.

there were were so many - but jesus christ - how good was that!

[Haemoglobin]

It's the sheer elegance of it, and the rhythm. Bish, bash, bosh.

An exceptionally difficult feat of quick thinking and physical coordination, performed effortlessly - that's what all the true greats have in common.


That impudent over-the-head flick when running at full speed + volleyed arrow beyond the helpless 'keeper vs Norwich is still his very best in a red shirt though, for my money. Maybe not quite as pure and elegant, but as spectacular a goal created from nothing by an individual as I've ever seen.

That goal blows my mind every time I see it. As you say, it's not quite as elegant as the Newcastle goal but I can't remember ever being as dumbstruck by a goal for days and weeks afterwards. Un-fucking-real.

And to think that in that very match he also scored another goal of the season contender from 40 yards out, oh as well as a free kick. Absurd player.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I'm still disappointed that the shot against Arsenal that year didn't go in

[Haemoglobin]

^ That game was just something else to watch unfold live. All his goals that day showed such amazing technique in their vastly different ways, he was hungry and opportunistic and basically the ideal forward. It might have only been Norwich, but you know when you've witnessed true greatness, a properly gifted footballer.

[ToneLa]

I was watching that game on Smithdown and the boozer erupted more and more with every goal! Proper love in

Scores even while in goalkeeper duty. 

[Samie]

Last contract before he comes back to us. 

Luis Suarez is set to sign a new contract at Barcelona. http://bbc.in/2h5E7j9

[sinnermichael]

Signed new 5 year deal.

[CraigDS]

€200m release clause. I'll get the Just Giving page set up.

[Bobinhood]

So i'm thinking we should trigger that and either take the player or demand 50 mill to give him back.

[ToneLa]

Crazy he only came fourth in the Ballon d'Or

Watch him improbably step up another gear now...

[Red Beret]

€200m release clause. I'll get the Just Giving page set up.

Well you've got at least 3 years.

[xRedmanLFCx]

2 goals and a beautiful assist tonight in the Barcelona derby v Espanyol. Delighted for the lad.

[sinnermichael]

Didn't get in UEFA's team of the year. Laughable.

[Halcyon Lissome]

Didn't get in UEFA's team of the year. Laughable.

He's the best player in the world over the last few years. Uefa/Fifa has long been a joke.

[Tesco tearaway]

Still a red at heart 

[the good half]

100 already!
I know Liverpool are massive and have had some greats but often I find myself thinking how the he'll don't d this guy play for my team.
He's better than everyone right now

[ToneLa]

Happy Birthday to the one ex I can't get over 

Luis, 30 today!

[amirani]

just assisted himself to score the first goal against Atletico.. simply the best Striker.

La Liga is shite though. Far better quality in the Premier Best In The World^TM League. Suarez wouldn't hack it here 

[SwordInYourGut]

Is he the best player ever to pull on a liverpool shirt? Considering achievements elsewhere as well ofcourse.

[Greatness]

Days like today are why I miss this guy so much  , you could bet he would of dragged us to victory today.

I wouldnt argue with anyone who shared that opinion

I've long said that Suarez is easily the most gifted footballer we've ever had represent us. And the one who squoze the most out of that extraordinary combination of natural attacking talents with his sheer mad desire to win and consistent world-class application, as well as his astonishing physical resilience.

'Best' is an awkward one, because for many that means being a principal contributor in actual glorious accomplishments, so they're a little offended by the suggestion he'd place above Dalglish, Gerrard, Barnes, and so on. And of course his disciplinary record and relatively brief time here count significantly against him for a lot of fans. But if Maradona or Messi played only one game in Liverpool colours, showing what they're capable of but then getting themselves sent off early in a game we couldn't quite go on to win, they would still be the best footballer we've ever fielded. For me, Suarez is clearly at the very pinnacle of the quite small group of LFC players that could be regarded as truly world class in their time; he's actually in the conversation for greatest attackers to have ever played the game.

I'd say Gerrard has a solid place somewhere in the top 50 midfielders in world football history, but Suarez has an argument to be considered in the top 10 forwards of all time, certainly top 20. Messi, Pele, Ronaldo (Fenomeno), Cruyff, Puskas, Cristiano Ronaldo, Suarez, Eusebio, Romario, Van Basten - doesn't look out of place at all to me.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

Days like today are why I miss this guy so much  , you could bet he would of dragged us to victory today.

we lost 3-1 the last time we had him for hull away

[ErieRed]

That flop for Barca's second penalty yesterday was something I can do without.  I appreciate his drive to win at all costs, but I don't miss the dives.

Haha - I loved it. It's Luis Suarez. He's the Scorpion in the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog.

No real difference in what Neymar did to earn his?

Disappointing, doesn't chance my absolute manlove for him though.
