The Fun Factory Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Really don't want this one. He is on the decline and he wants to move to the quickest and most physically intense league in the world. Plus he is a complete rocket-polisher.

VillaParkAvenue Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Here's the Telegraph article that was just published: Aston Villa are exploring the possibility of signing Luis Suarez who is a free agent after being released by Atletico Madrid. The 35-year-old striker is, of course, a former Liverpool team-mate of Villa manager Steven Gerrard and the club’s play-maker Philippe Coutinho who recently completed his permanent move from Barcelona for a cut-price £17million. Despite his age, Suarez wants to continuing playing in one of Europe’s major leagues although it was believed his preference is to remain in Spain where he also starred for Barcelona after leaving Liverpool in 2014. It is understood he wants to play at least one more season at the top level especially with the World Cup in Qatar at the end of this year. Suarez said an emotional farewell to Atletico fans earlier this month having fallen out of favour under coach Diego Simeone despite playing a key role in them win the league in the previous season. It is understood that Villa are exploring the possibility of bringing the Uruguayan international back to the Premier League as part of the huge summer upheaval being masterminded by Gerrard. Villa will not only have to weigh up Suarez’s wage demands but also whether, given his age, he will be able to cope with the physical demands of Premier League football. Gerrard has remained in touch with Suarez and even received a glowing reference from his former team-mate when he inquired about signing Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus in the January transfer window. In the end Bentancur signed for Tottenham Hotspur. Villa have already moved quickly to improve their squad. As well as Coutinho, centre-half Diego Carlos – who Newcastle United tried to secure in January - is arriving for £26m from Sevilla and midfielder Boubacar Kamara has been signed from Marseille on a five-year deal after allowing his contract to run down. The club had shown an interest in Burnley’s James Tarkowski with the defender also out of contract this summer but a deal is now unlikely to happen. Everton are believed to have moved ahead in that race. Villa will also expect to move on at least six players to free up finances and room in the squad as Gerrard stamps his imprint on the team after finishing 14th in the Premier League. Given the signing of Carlos and also targeting another central defender then Tyrone Mings would appear to be among the players whose future is in doubt.

Zatman Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Disgusted if we sign this piece of shit. An own goal by the club In the era of cancel culture this is one of the people that should have been cancelled 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The sight of Luis Suarez coming off the bench to get us a winner will give me goosebumps. Also the draw and pull we will have with players like this at the Club. Will be brilliant for clubs profile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 A fantastic player in his day (except for the biting) but this just sounds like paper talk with the Gerrard, Coutinho link being brought up. His wages would be stupid and at 35 I doubt he will play a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I wouldn't mind it if it was a 1year + 1year option - like with Ashley Young. Remember we can use 5 subs next season. The plan may be to continue Archer's development with a full season in the Championship, but still have three options (plus Bailey/Traore) for up front. Going to be hard to judge until the window is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete101 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Might not be the player he was and won't start the whole time but this would be huge for the club, coutinho coming in has already lifted the profile of the club , this has similar affect, in a world cup year this would really help put our club in the spotlight 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 If we can afford the luxury spending, even just having him in training day to day would be brilliant for Archer and the other young attackers to learn from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I’m not really sold on this one but when you look at his recent stats he’s hardly finished as a player. Was it 35 appearances and 11 goals last season? Free transfer on sensible wages? I’d probably take him for 12 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year on year decline, over 35, moving to a much more physical and quicker side which is going to have far less of the ball in most games. Plus all the bit bitey, daft racist things as well its a no for me Clive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Smacks of a Pires signing to me. We all get excited because he was a glorious player in his prime and we all assume he's still got it. Then he turns up and he's absolutely useless and we wonder if we'd have been better spending the money on something better than the managers mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 No thanks. While not completely finished he isn’t PL level anymore and we need and can do better and younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign him up. Edited May 27, 2022 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
