The new season of the
Barclays Premier league is fast approaching and it promises to be one of the
most exciting seasons yet. 3 of the top 4 teams have new managers although Jose
isn’t exactly new, he will have his work cut out for him. That’s not what I want
to talk about though. This season’s transfer window has been full of rumours
and speculation. The one which I have payed close attention to is that of Luis
Suarez for obvious reasons. There have been so many stories its hard to know
what to believe. It is said that Suarez wants to leave Liverpool for Arsenal, I
fail to see why.
The reason is said to be
he wants to play European football. That is understandable, but why not move to
a club that makes it into the knock out stages unlike Arsenal who hardly ever
get past the group stages. I do not understand why he would want to move from
Liverpool. He has been one of the best players over the past season and you
have to admit it has something to do with the club and players around him. If he
is unhappy with the way the press is treating him, well that’s his own fault
and moving to another English club is not going to solve that. Liverpool have
stood by him through all of his bad times.
If he wants to leave I say
let him go, he will not receive the same treatment at Arsenal as he did at
Liverpool. Just look at Fernando Torres, arguably one of the best if not the
best striker in the league at the time. Moved to Chelsea and scored 2 goals in
his first season. People forget that it is not only the individual but the team
around him that also contribute to his talent. Take a look at Messi, arguably
the best player ever. However he isn’t as good for Argentina as he is for
Barcelona. Why? Because at Barcelona he is surrounded by the best team in the
world.
If you can’t see that
Liverpool is a team on the rise then you’re blind, unbeaten in all of their pre
season games as well as clean sheets in all 3 games. They are a team building
for the future and that future is coming sooner rather than later. The amount
of talent in that side is staggering, young players such as Couthino, Aspas,
Alberto, Ibe and of course Sterling. It would hard to say that Liverpool are a
weak team. Yes their results this past season weren’t the best but as I said
they are building and you have to admit that the way they are playing is
something to behold.
Liverpool are on their
way back to the top end of English football and if Suarez decides he wants to
leave it will be a big blow to those aspirations but an even bigger blow to his
aspirations of being one of the best players in the world. Liverpool will still
make the climb with or without him.
