Sports / Suarez To Barcelona Fc For €88m A Done Deal by jonsin(m): 2:48pm On Jul 10, 2014 |
The Catalan giants will imminently announce the capture of the Uruguay star after agreeing to meet the release clause inserted in the striker's new Liverpool contract last December Luis Suarez is on the brink of officially completing his sensational transfer from Liverpool to Barcelona after the terms of a deal worth just over €88 million were agreed on Wednesday night. The agreement comes after a week of negotiations between the clubs, with an announcement expected in the coming days - perhaps even within 24 hours. Barcelona have captured Suarez in a straight cash deal after agreeing to meet the release clause in the Liverpool contract he signed last December. It is believed that Suarez will undergo initial medical examinations from Barca doctors in his native Uruguay, where he has been staying following his country's elimination from the World Cup. Officials from the Catalan club have been negotiating with their counterparts from Merseyside in the last week over the structure of payments in the deal, with Liverpool pushing for a higher initial sum. An agreement has now been reached and the final formalities will be completed before Suarez is announced as Barcelona's marquee signing of the summer. The 27-year-old is currently serving a four-month ban - which runs until October 26 - for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini while playing for Uruguay in his nation's final World Cup group stage match. Under the terms of the suspension, Suarez is not allowed to train with his club or enter the confines of any stadium during his ban. Barca will partly fund the signing of the 27-year- old by selling Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal. The Chile World Cup star will move to Emirates Stadium after Arsenal agreed a package worth €40m (£31.8m) with the Spanish club. Liverpool will now look to strengthen their squad using some of the money from the Suarez deal. The Merseysiders are on the verge of completing a triple swoop for Benfica winger Lazar Markovic, Lille striker Divock Origi and Southampton defender Dejan Lovren. source: www.goal.com Is Messi, Neymar and Suarez a perfect combination? Barcelona still haven't found a way of making Messi and Neymar play well together and they're adding another into the mix. And Suarez is no Neymar! He will not accept to seat on the bench like Neymar or play RW or LW while Messi hogs the CF position. and you know how he gets when he opens up and you don't give him the ball. And the way he shoots on sight when he gets to the box. How will Messi and co deal with that. So many big egos in one club. And what will happen to players like Pedro? So many questions still unanswered. |

Sports / Has FIFA Been Truly Fair In The Suarez Case? by jonsin(m): 10:27am On Jun 30, 2014 |
The hysterical reaction to the forward's four-month ban is understandable, given Pepe's previous misdemeanours were not considered when he was sanctioned Jun 30, 2014 10:15:00 AM By Mark Doyle in Brazil "It's a breach of human rights ... barbarity," according to Diego Lugano. "They might as well handcuff him and throw him in Guantanamo," fumed Diego Maradona. It's fair to say that the reaction to Luis Suarez's suspension for biting Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's World Cup win over Italy last week has been ridiculously over the top. Rational analysis of the severity of the ban has been difficult amidst such hysteria. However, while the hyperbolic views of Lugano and Maradona would be laughable were they not so offensive to those whose human rights are actually being violated on a daily basis across the globe, there is no denying that a not insignificant number of people within football believe the ban to be "excessive". Indeed, what those defending the four-month suspension from all "football-related activity" seem to find even more stupefying than the fact that Suarez has bitten an opponent for a third time, is the groundswell of support for the forward, which extends beyond the boundaries of his native Uruguay. However, while the striker's crime is as indefensible as it is inexplicable, the argument that he has been treated differently to his peers is understandable - because he has been. Nobody is disputing the fact that Suarez deserved to be sanctioned. Banning a repeat offender for four months for biting could not normally be considered excessive, as it is a reprehensible act worthy of a significant suspension. But in this instance it could be argued that the punishment is too severe, and the issue is the inconsistency. Firstly, there is the fact that Suarez's suspension extends beyond international football. Not only will he miss his country's next nine competitive fixtures, he will also be unavailable to his club, Liverpool, until the end of October. That move was motivated by the fact that this is Suarez's third offence. The argument goes that they had to send a clear message that something as contemptible as biting is simply not acceptable within the game. Consequently, they came down hard on Suarez. Which is truly fair enough ... except for the fact that they blindly chose to ignore previous misdemeanours when it came to considering how long to suspend Pepe for after the defender was dismissed during Portugal's 4-0 loss to Germany. Pepe's career has been characterised by random acts of aggression - yet he was only ordered to serve the mandatory one-game ban for headbutting Thomas Muller. Why was Suarez's rap sheet taken into account - and not Pepe's? Of course, Fifa found Suarez had exhibited a disturbing and complete absence of "any contrition or repentance" (Suarez's claim that he simply "lost his balance" insulted the intelligence of not only the victim, Chiellini, and Fifa's disciplinary committe, but everyone who witnessed it) but then, Pepe maintains that he did not deserve a red. Furthermore, Cameroon midfielder Alex Song's suspension for a similarly unprovoked assault on Croatia forward Mario Mandzukic was extended to a total three games, thus ending his World Cup. Why? Why was Pepe only banned for only one game for 'violent conduct', and Song three? Particularly when the latter openly admitted his guilt and expressed heartfelt remorese. The inconsistencies in the Pepe and Song cases are staggering so it is hardly surprising then, that there is a growing sense that there is one rule for the more powerful nations - and one rule for the rest. And that is why there has been uproar in Uruguay. Is there anger misplaced? Yes, of course, their fury should be directed at the man that let them down on the biggest stage of all. And it is embarrasing to hear people talk of the English media having a vendetta against Suarez, last season's Football Writers' Player of the Year. But those claiming Suarez has been made a scapegoat are not without reason. Biting, of course, is a particularly savage and cowardly act and it has no place in the game. Fifa were, therefore, well within their rights to make an example of Suarez. But football has more pressing and more prevalent problems to solve, so can we now expect to see them addressed in such refreshingly firm fashion? There are, after all, players and coaches who have spent less than four months on the touchline for doping or involvement in match-fixing. And will Fifa now finally tackle the issue of 'simulation', one of the scourges of the modern game? Arjen Robben has admitted that he dived during Netherlands' last-16 win over Mexico on Sunday. We are often told that it is so hard to prove a player has intentionally attempted to deceive the referee so, now that we have a public confession, surely this is an open-and-shut case? Surely Robben should be sanctioned? Particularly as it could be argued that he, too, has 'previous'. Even more importantly, when exactly is Fifa going to finally take a strong stand in the fight against racism? When are we going to see clubs fined more than a few thousand euro for incidents racial abuse within their stadia? All we really have at the moment is the well- meaning 'Say No to Racism' campaign but the powers that be are presently in no position to talk about issues of inequality given how inconsistently it is dealing with indiscipline. |
