But he still shouldn't have said it because he doesn't play for Penarol or whoever anymore. Racial sensitivity is a different beast in Europe. Absolutely, the minute you reference someone's colour in an argument, you have lost. I do think his comments add a bit more context - instead of the view that Suarez is a massive racist, i don't think that is correct (IMO of course). He's a dickhead, a biter, a diver, a whinger, but a racist? Not sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just prefer us to go back to buying players on the way up like we did under Dean. I'm not sure how many other Coutinho-level signings we can pick up once the reality kicks in that Gerrard is a mid-level manager of a mid-table team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I doubt our club captain and outspoken advocate for racial equality would take too kindly to Suarez joining the team. Suarez would cause Gerrard to lose a portion of the dressing room and I don't think he would make that mistake. Suarez isn't coming here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's not that they aren't first choice, it's that they're wingers and we no longer play with wingers or wide forwards. I think we'll buy players that fit the shape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 4 3 2 1 will come back and the positional rotation to move to a 4 3 1 2. I just don't know about our CF department is it good enough to go with next season or should we add a 3rd striker (Archer needs another Loan I'd say). I agreet. Maybe Hickey to cover the full back positions, Kalvin Phillips (please), l'il Phil and a striker - that'll do me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily be tripped up by the wrong associations when they don’t suit your argument. Surely looking at it from the opposite direction that is exactly the point of sports washing. Murderous regime in need of image boost? Hello we’re the Premier League, how can we help you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 50/50 on SG but ultimately the club have employed the manager to listen to and respect his opinion and go with his decisions. Think we'll see a turnover of players this summer, and it looks almost certain the likes of Bailey will be among them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
