Suarez A Good Fit For Barca



Each day, Luis Suarez seems a step closer to moving to Barcelona from Liverpool. The Catalan club undeterred by the recent four-month ban he received from FIFA.


Bite-gate has almost blown over following a public apology from Uruguay international, Suarez following his toothed-attack on Italy's Giorgio Chiellini, the Juventus vice-captain quickly replying with a forgiving response.

Football isn't a "3 strikes and you're out" kind of game, if it was then it would be game over for Suarez, having now chewed on 3 different opponents whilst also being caught up in a race scandal back in 2011.

With an incident-tarnished career, after the most recent debacle, some Footballing figures suggested Suarez should be made to get help for his problems, in recent reports Barcelona may partner the Striker with a psychologist to improve his temper and physical outbursts.

All is forgotten after each incident when Luis Suarez shows us his real talent on the field, scoring goals. Racking up 40 goals in 78 appearances for his country and over 150 goals during spells with Ajax & Liverpool, it is hard to deny that Suarez is one of the world's best strikers at the moment and this is what Barcelona are paying a reported £80 million for.

One small dilemma for Barcelona - who had a trophy-less season in 2014 since 2008 - is how he will fit into the side.

King Leo - know also as Lionel Messi - will return from Argentina duty once their run in the World Cup is over. The skillful magician usually leads the line for Barcelona, but following Barcelona's poor season manager, Luis Enrique may choose Suarez to partner the World's best player or operate Messi behind the striker.

Messi will be the main man once La Liga reignites on August 26th, although possibly only until Suarez makes his grand entrance once his ban expires.

A partnership between Lionel Messi & Luis Suarez is something every Football fan would pay to see and has to experimented by Enrique. If it pays off, Barcelona will no doubt have the deadliest strike force in World Football. Two strikers who have it all in their lockers from free-kicks and skills, to headers and volleys. A move for Luis Suarez currently seems good business for Barcelona, even with the player's FIFA ban.

With Barca having replaced Cesc Fabregas with Ivan Rackitic in midfield - pocketing 15 million euros in the process - joining the likes of Xavi, Iniesta & co. there's certainly no lack of creativity. Suarez can only be drooling at the thought of being fed by Barcelona's superb midfield and it will be on a plate for him to carry on his inspiring scoring form.

Once the deal is confirmed, Liverpool have a big task on their hands replacing their talisman number 7, Suarez. 

In the modern era of Football, £80m isn't too overwhelming for a player that is likely to repay that with 80 goals over 2 to 2 & 1/2 seasons along with increasing merchandise sales and increasing Barcelona's chances on the big European stage, the UEFA Champion's League.

Suarez will shine on & off the field in my view, a club like Barcelona will aid in removing his unpredictable side, at least the unpredictable side where he's not using his feet.
