I will also use this opportunity to call him a racist biting cun

I believe Suarez could perform well in front if he gets his incisors involved. He is also flexible enough to be in the center with his bicuspids, and even to use his molars in back.

It's ironic that Suarez stuck around at Liverpool for so long because he wanted CL football with them, yet jumps ship as soon as he secures it.

He only stuck around because his agent put him in the window for a big move and the only club that came in was Arsenal

I can officially confirm, however, that he will disappoint at Barcelona

Missing out on Sanchez was a big blow for Liverpool. He would have slotted right in and made up a bunch of the goals.

It amuses me that his handling of the ball is on the list. That was a supremely rational decision on his part, and it payed off in the end. It all right to hate him for it, but it's in no way comparable to him biting or abusing people.

Why would Liverpool settle on ~£58m for him? If Neymar and Bale are around £100m, Suarez has to be worth well more, damaged goods or not. Wasn't he also only a year into a 5 year contract?

He'll be 28 this season. You'll get 10+ years out of both Neymar and Bale, or sell them on for huge fees. Plus, depending on whatever went on with Neymar, that's still the third most expensive player in history.

It's not confirmed to be £58m. There's currently some confusion over whether it's £75m or €75m (I think a lot of English sites are reporting Pounds and Spanish sites are reporting Euros). "Settle" is the wrong word anyway. Regardless of the currency, Suarez had a release clause built into the latest contract, trigger that and there's no reason to go any higher. It's probably a lot more cast-iron than the last one he had as well.

According to Suarez's legal team, the new terms of the suspension will also allow the striker to play in friendly matches. That could free him to play Uruguay's upcoming internationals against Japan and South Korea in September and Saudi Arabia in October.

That sounds like a fantastic idea and definitely the thing he should do.
