The Rollercoaster Ride - Luis Suarez And Liverpool

Luis and Liverpool, without a doubt both have been good for each other on the pitch footballing wise. On the other hand off it controversy rained down. Barely 9 months into his Anfield career after the racial incident with Manchester United's Patrice Evra. Whatever the recriminations which are well documented added to the Ivanovic bite which reached optimum. 10 game ban resulted.

What has happened since can only be described as the great escape. Away from Merseyside, interview after interview the alarms bell must have been ringing at Anfield. The spin, the words, the reports, were Liverpool fan's worst fears been forth told? Actions do speak louder than words but Suarez interview today is probably the most revealing - http://football-uruguay.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/interview-luis-suarez-on-sport890.html

We have been here before with Fernando Torres, a transfer which completely changed my personal outlook on loving a player to the extent that my perception towards footballers has changed somewhat. It has happened before for Torres, read Keegan and who replaced Keegan - Kenny Dalglish. The man who would become the greatest player that the club has had(probably until Steven Gerrard retires no one else comes as close that embodies LFC), players come and go.

Judging, and depending on what sources you take on board. Personally the sooner the better the issue is resolved for Brendan Rodgers sake as he prepares for a defining season would be beneficial. Does the progress continue? And is the sale of Luis Suarez necessary for Rodgers to continue that progress by using his sale to rebuild and provide more quality in key areas? Who knows, the next few weeks should be intriguing to say the least.
