Eastie Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 If the choice of a natural scorer is ollie miss a lot or Suarez then a season of goals from Suarez which would take us to top 7 or 8 would help us kick on to attract better players - we cannot keep missing sitters and I’d take Suarez in on a year deal as he’d improve the team and lift the profile - besides that he’s a winner and that’s lacking badly at this club 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbluesky Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Honestly not convinced of this one. I get that he's still a phenomenal player and I fully agree he'd improve us. But does the improvement he'd make over the rest of the season/next season, justify taking game time off a younger player? I'm not sure. He might get us a few places higher, but personally I'd rather give more experience in the league and a better understanding of the team to Watkins, than potentially get a europa league spot. Longer term I think there's more value in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Well I've missed this one, it'll be an interesting signing no doubt, are we guessing Watkin's may be off, maybe it's true he wants a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne and Ashley young (he has one as much as any of the others) in the group. I think that winning mentality is something any team that wants to succeed need and the loss of game time against increase in mental approach and professionalism might be worth it. It might not too, I don’t know but that’s what we pay Gerrard to work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 19, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 19, 2022 Do people really believe he'd be scoring twenty goals or more next season? He got twenty-one in Spain last season and this year he's on for twelve or thirteen - that's in a league where when you play for one of the larger teams you get a lot of chances, where it's easier to score goals than it is in the Premier league. Surely people don't think that with another few miles on the clock he's going to come to one of the toughest leagues in the world and double his recent goal output? If he comes here, makes appearances off the bench, maybe starts a few games and reaches ten goals for the season he'll have done very, very well. Five goals would be a decent return - this ain't 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gerrard manages to make it an absolute steal and we manage to get him crazy cheap then maybe. Other than that why bother? He can probably change a game or two off the bench but he's not going to lead the line for a full season and bang them in for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like he’d do better than either Watkins or Ings so I’m keen on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, by simple dictionary definition, he is indeed a serial biter. 3 times constitutes the descriptive term, serial.

Weird report from Sky, there was no quotes or anything. Close person with Suarez last night said it’s possible, Sky say today it’s not and they got it from the club but no quotes. I’d like to know from Sky whether it was a “source” or a club response. Edited January 19, 2022 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
