What is Luis Suarez worth?

i'd price him at 40m and see who'll bite.

cos of him biting.
 
Well, I guess his market value, less 25-30% to cover the fact that he'll miss that number of games each season through bans ;)
 
I think £40m is too much. £30m is more realistic. Could see him go for £35m but would any club who could afford that want that kind of player around? I could equally see him going for £25-£28m because of that.

People are too frivolous with transfer fees. If we aren't sure Bale is worth £40m then Suarez sure as hell ain't.

The people valuing him at 35-40m are doing so on his ability, not his reputation. I'd say that most are in agreement that most top clubs would be skeptical of paying that kind of sum for a player that likes to feast on his opposition.

You can't deny his quality though, he's up there with the best in the game at the moment.
 
Very bitter valuations on here. Obviously. When he was feasting on a player, and banned for it, we took him on for 23 million. That was before he was even considered good. Now...
 
What's his buy out clause?

Wouldn't seem right paying more for him than what Goetze went for.
 
Minus his personality £35-40 million, reckon they'd let him go for £30-35 million though, given that he's liable to go off the handle and/or and get suspended for ~1/5 of your domestic games. At that price the board the bulk of the sensible scouse fans would probably say 'fair does, money to reinvest' etc.

You were claiming he would go for ronaldo type money a few weeks back. :rolleyes:
 
Suarez the footballer is easily worth something north of £40million in today's market, Suarez the complete package is worth about £30million.
 
Sounds like Grinner's serious about that Wham! tribute band.
 
where have you plucked that 37m figure from?
VP was arguably the top player in the league last year, certainly top 3, and was 22m

It's the price Aguero went for, and I think he and Suarez are of similar ability.

It comes down to age and contract, which is why RVP was £20m odd. If you tried to buy Gareth Bale now, they'd ask for £50m. If you bought him with one year left, it'd probably be £25.
 
The buyer must also count the increase on team's premium dental insurance, and liability insurance.
 
Would anyone really want to take a 30+ million quid gamble on him though?

Much will depend upon how badly Liverpool want to get rid. If they don't he will stay barring a silly offer but if they do they could have to take 15-25 mill unless they are lucky.

If you read carefully, I said we shouldn't even be interested in less than Ronaldo money.

Since that time Suarez failed in his duties to email me personally about wanting to bite one more player before he left. I am most disappointed and am awaiting an apology from Luis on the non-communication. Bad form.

Deluded if you think anyone here is bitter about Suarez.
 
Apparently he's worth more than a club's reputation.

It didnt take a mystic Meg or a a Nostradamus to predict that sooner or later he would get a long ban. The guy has always been a liability when he plays. He has been lucky that the refs/FA have been so incompetent since he came to England(apart form the racist ban and this one of course).
 
£15m is, quite frankly, a fecking retarded estimate. Genuinely. Arguably the best player in the league this season, single-handedly carrying an awful team to a relatively decent league position. Surround him with decent players and he will only improve.

At least £30million, on a good day. Probably in the range of £40 - £55million depending on how many suitors are found.
 
I think only one or two people may have said he was worth £15m and it has spiralled into the Caf stating he is only worth £15m. When in reality most have said he is worth between £30m and £40m including all his baggage.
 
If he's leaves this summer, it's because he wants to go or pool need to sell him. Either way it's a buyers market, and many of the top teams would not touch him anyway. Max 30 million sterling.
 
So I suppose the answer is, upwards of 45m at the very least.

Proof of the craziness of the market we're in now.
 
I made this point to a Liverpool supporting mate of mine. Getting an offer of £40m for a wantaway striker with a history of violent conduct and racism and not thinking it's good value is ridiculous. I would have said £40m for Suarez minus transfer request and track record would have been a good deal.
 
atleast 35mill pounds in todays market. Then again, to a team like Liverpool he is probably priceless. Who else could they get to replicate Suarez' efforts? He is a right cnut, but one hell of a player for them.
 
People letting their hate for him cloud their judgement here. 20mil is taking the piss, some are even suggesting 15. Considering the paucity of top strikers at the moment and his importance to The scousers, anything below 40mil would be Brushed off Without a thought. If he goes his summer, it'L Be for 45mil or thereabouts.
