Suarez has joined Barcelona in a £75,000,000 deal. Whilst he is undoubtedly an excellent player he also has ''issues,'' so all-in-all I don't think he'll be missed. In my time watching football I've come across all sorts of players, but never one who bites an opponent. I would dearly love to see him play against Ron Harris or Norman Hunter, they'd have his teeth out in a flash, assuming that they didn't do him any other mischief in the meantime that is. End of problem you see. |

Barcelona have agreed to let striker Luis Suarez join La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid.
Suarez is not wanted at Barca and the Catalans were happy to release him for free, providing he did not join certain other top clubs.
The Uruguayan agreed terms on a reduced salary with Atletico after a move to Juventus fell through because of passport issues.
Barcelona chairman Josep Maria Bartomeu then blocked the deal because he did not wish to sell to a Spanish rival.
But, after meeting with Suarez's representatives, the Catalan club have backed down, with the striker threatening to air his grievances to the media.
Atletico will have to pay a nominal fee of no more than 6m euros for the 33-year-old, which will be based on variables such as Champions League qualification.
Suarez will earn half of the 30m euros a year he was on at Barca at Atletico.
The move ends Suarez's six-year career with Barca, during which he scored 198 goals in 283 appearances and formed one third of a feared front three with Lionel Messi and Neymar.
On Wednesday night, Barcelona released a statement thanking Suarez for his time at the club.
"FC Barcelona would like to publicly express their gratitude to Luis Suarez for his commitment and dedication and wishes him all the best for the future," the statement said.
The club said a "farewell event" would take place for Suarez at 11:30 BST on Thursday before a press conference.
Atletico said the deal had been agreed "subject to passing his medical and agreeing and formalising the Uruguayan's contract."
He joined the club for £74m from Liverpool in 2014 and helped them win four La Liga titles, four Copa del Reys and the Champions League and Club World Cup in 2015.
It also ends one of this summer's long-running transfer sagas, which looked likely to result in the player ending up in Turin - a move that was dashed, according to Juventus directors, because of the amount of time it would have taken to secure Suarez an Italian passport.

Messi on Suarez leaving...
Lionel Messi says Luis Suarez deserved a better send-off from Barcelona but that he is "no longer surprised" by the club's behaviour.
In a post on Instagram, Messi paid tribute to Suarez, saying it will be "strange" to see him "with another shirt and much more to face you".
"You deserved a send-off matching who you are - one of the most important players in the club's history, achieving important things both as a group and individually.
"Not to get thrown out like you have been. But the truth is at this point nothing surprises me."
Uruguayan Suarez scored 198 goals in 283 games to become the third highest goalscorer in Barcelona's history.
The 33-year-old won four La Liga titles, four Copa del Reys, the Champions League and Club World Cup after joining the Catalan giants for £74m from Liverpool in 2014.

Amazing record in just 6 years, in an easy league but playing with very good players. Liverpool did very well out of the deal, he was worth every penny. Those years at Liverpool were exciting even if they didn't quite win the Prem. He was annoying but class. Very skilful. Amazing goal record. |
