Luis Suarez: an appetite for destruction
One of the most controversial players to have ever graced the Premier League is up to no good again.
That’s right, Liverpool’s Luis Suarez has once again flung himself into a deep abyss of controversy; this time for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with the London club on Sunday.
This is another on the impressively long list of misdemeanors that Suarez has compiled during his time in England. Previous to him reaching these shores we all knew him as the man whose handball, partly, helped eliminate Ghana from the 2010 World Cup.
Biting players is nothing new to him either having gone all Count Dracula during his time at Ajax. The Dutch FA fined the Uruguayan and he also received a seven game ban.
There is little doubt that the English FA will administer a similar fine which will mean that Suarez’s 96th minute equaliser against Chelsea will be his last action of a fine season, footballing wise.
The question is now, though, do Liverpool cut their ties with a player who has done so much to tarnish the club’s proud name. Where do the club draw the line with player?
Suarez is undoubtedly a world class player, as shown with his scintillating form this season, and it would be very difficult for Liverpool to let a player of Suarez’s ability leave. Liverpool fans know that without Suarez’s goals this season they would be struggling to finish mid-table.
But is this the straw that broke the camel’s back? Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers stated yesterday that no one is bigger than the club and for all Suarez’s talents, his tendency to attract and cause controversy may have just gone too far.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the summer.
