How do you think Suarez will do at Barcelona?

Better than Messi
Messi level
Sub Messi, better than Eto'o, Ibrahimovic etc. Ronaldinho maybe.

Was he worth more than Ronaldo?
Was he worth more than Bale?
Will he fit into the Barca set up?
Will Barca still be many peoples second team?
Will ALL the transfer money be spent wisely?

So many questions.

Sour grapes no doubt, but I hope that he is s much of a pain in the arse for them as he has been for us at times. I hope he needs their legends to stick up for him, and receive support for indiscretions consistently.

Probably the best player I've had the pleasure to have watched from the stands over the last few seasons.

He was clearly never, ever, ever going to see out his full career with us - so I'm just thankful for all the stunning goals he's provided for us.

World greats - he wasn't the first and he won't be the last.

Good luck to him though.

How much worse would this feel if he had gone to Arsenal last summer or (not that it was ever on the cards) Chelsea or City now? I don't begrudge him success in Spain. Not quite sure how he'll get on with all the other egos and deep down I don't really care but I'm sure we'll be seeing some magic from him now and again.

If he can knock out one of the other English clubs in Europe I'll heartily chuckle too.

£75 million = €94.5 million

That's the highest fee in Euros ever. A world record.

Just hope we spend it well. I trust Brendan too. He's more important than Suarez to us.

at the same time  ironically i hope he thinks of us like Torres
people need to let this kind of thinking go because it's bollox, seriously.

Since leaving us Torres has won the Champions League, UEFA Cup and the FA Cup so yeah, he really fucked up there.  ::)

Thanks for the memories, Luis. I am glad my first (and sole) trip to Anfield gave me the chance to see him play and score (awesome goal against Wolves). Regardless of the other stuff, he has helped us get back to the CL and had a year to remember. Good luck in Barca! And as everyone is saying, LFC will continue coming up the hill. No player is bigger than the club. YNWA.

Bit gutted.

But all the very best to Luis. It's been a pleasure to watch him week in week out. Never has a player made me guffaw so much during every single match. Scored every type of goal under the sun and was absolutely bonkers. He has helped propel us back into the Champions League and helped make the rest of the Premier League fear us again. And he fucking hated Mancs too!  ;D

Not quite legend status in my eyes, but an extremely special player.

This is hard, though after so many others, it's getting less and less emotional.

If you went into an engineering lab with a set of blueprints devised by Brendan Rodgers for the perfect footballer, you would likely come out with Suarez.  He is everything Rodgers wants in a player and it is no surprise that Rodgers constructed the rest of his team around Suarez.

Attack minded- Check
Able to take on players 1 v 1- Check
Courageous on the ball- Check
Industrious in defense- Check
Creates chances- Check
Scores from anywhere- Check
Passion to win - Check mate

He will not be replaced easily.  I will not ever say LFC are better off without Suarez.  I will say that the timing of this is impeccable from LFC's point of view.  Suarez was going to miss all of August, September and October.  With the schedule makers doing LFC no favors, Suarez's suspension was going to be critical.  Without the sale money to help reinforce the team, LFC would have had to survive three months without him.  It was very possible that those three months could have doomed any chance to come top 4 again this season, which would have clearly meant that Suarez would be off next summer for less money, and without CL to attract players.

Losing Suarez leaving is never good, but this gives us a fighting chance to build a squad capable of staying in the top 4.  Glad this did not drag out into August.

Wish him well he was fire and ice, one thing he never did was stop putting in effort on the pitch and you have to respect him for that. His insanity allows his brilliance I just hope he can keep it bottled up. He will always be remembered for the biting, but hopefully that will pale in comparison to his genius on the pitch in the long term. Liverpool has always been bigger than any player and hope we can do some good business with that 75M. Anyone in a for a cheeky little bid on James Rodriguez?

Just because I can rationalise it, doesn't mean I have to like it. Not pissed off, not even sad, just a bit disappointed we don't get to watch him next season. He's a fucking fruitloop, but he helped make football a hell of a lot of fun again. Still, is what it is and, playing a bad hand, the club have actually done alright out of this over the past year. Good luck to him. And looking forward to seeing our manager continue building us back up. I'll just have to settle for watching Sterling, Coutinho and Sturridge next season. And maybe one or two of these new lads.

Dislike being a stepping stone a tier below Barca etc., but last year we were more than just a tier below so some perspective is good.

An amazing player who had an energy you can't replace, instrumental in the development of our young players such as Sterling. For more than just his skills he'll be missed.

 They may call themselves the biggest club in the world but Man United couldn't stop Ronaldo from leaving for Real Madrid when the time came. Unless you're English, those two clubs are the pinnacle of football. Like it or not, that's the reality.
