Liverpool

With Luis Suarez set to miss the start of next season, Liverpool could well be looking to the future regarding their striker department.  The Uruguayan has been at the centre of yet more controversy after he bit Giorgio Chiellini in his side’s World Cup group game against Italy.  After such a huge incident, especially with this not being the first time the 27-year-old has disgraced himself, there is always the chance the Reds could look to sell him.  Although Daniel Sturridge is hot and firing and Rickie Lambert recently arrived from Southampton, the latter’s age could leave the club completely dependent on the former in a couple of years’ time.

At just 19 years of age, Raheem Sterling already finds himself playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world.  Although Liverpool are not the footballing power they once were, the Merseyside giants are slowly awakening after coming incredibly close to winning a first Premier League title last season.

The general perception of Adam Lallana is one that is not exactly true.  To many he is regarded as a youngster, as people do not realise the midfielder is actually 26 years of age.  Despite flourishing for Southampton in League One and the Championship, it was only last season that he really made his name as a Premier League player.

The World Cup is a stage on which many players use to great effect in terms of attracting the interest of the biggest clubs in the game.  Despite already being at Bayern Munich, that is exactly what Switzerland winger Xherdan Shaqiri’s performances have done for him.

Exactly what are the ramifications of biting another player?  Perhaps we should know after Luis Suarez’s highlighted the issue with an attack on Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic just last year, yet the world of football finds itself perplexed again after a repeat incident.  The repeat offender, however, is the bigger talking point.

Luis Suarez has tormented Premier League defences for a few years now, and his two goals to help knock England out of the World Cup did little to change most of the country’s perception of him as a villain.
