So supposedly we were one of the clubs Barca told Suarez he couldn't go to without a fee, along with City, Madrid and PSG. Besides the obvious he'd never come here cos of his past association with Liverpool, why were we on that list? Does Barca actually view us as competition in Europe? Or do they see us as an easy opportunity to squeeze some money from? Either case, strange the likes of Bayern and Liverpool weren't also on the list, but we somehow were.
Juventus and cheating.. I am shocked.
"We can do things in the transfer market that other clubs can only dream of", that’s why.
Nah, the restriction they were trying to circumvent was the limit on EU players
Why didn’t Suarez go for Spanish dual nationality?
Most likely because Bayern and Liverpool don't pay as high wages.
Would they have the ball as well?
being so successful at Barca, is there any issue in him going to Madrid team, or is that pretty standard?
I dont think theres any major issue between Atletico and Barca. Now if he went to Real that would be an issue.
It would take them a while to get to the CB so I don’t think he is going to panicked.

Thought he was a cert to go to Juventus so him signing for another Spanish team having played for Barcelona is a twist.
Probably easier with his wife being Italian. I guess he also knew he'd opened a can of worms once he was caught, so going ahead with the transfer in any way would run the risk of actually getting done for it. Staying in Spain it will be forgotten about soon enough.
This transfer makes zero sense for anyone
Bet he can't wait to get his teeth into his new job..
