Earlier this week, I commented on the rumours regarding a Real Madrid swap-deal for Luis Suarez. The deal in question proposed that Liverpool might consider accepting Jose Callejon and a heap of cash for their want-away Uruguayan forward.
This, of course, did little to excite Liverpool fans. Yet, I think most Reds have come around to the notion that Suarez needs to be sold this summer. After all, why keep hold of a player who’s unhappy and won’t be pulling in the same direction?
But, there’s no point in selling him if the Reds wont get a good price for him. Jose Callejon, for all his talent, is a Real Madrid reject. Sure he’s had some game-time at the Bernabeu, but he’s not really a hot-ticket player. He’s not somebody who excites fans. He’s no Luis Suarez.
If Brendan Rodgers is to contemplate a swap deal this summer, he’ll need to make certain the player he brings in is capable of delivering the goods. The incoming player needs to be somebody who creates a bit of excitement and belief around Anfield.
So how about this: in an article titled ‘Bad man & Robben’ (not a bad effort!), The Sun claim that Bayern Munich are keen on signing Suarez and are willing to offer Arjen Robben as part of the deal.
This, at the very least, is an intriguing prospect. Robben is a world-class footballer. He’s technically, gifted, he’s tricky and he’s difficult for defenders to deal with. He’s been a hit at more or less every level and has already tried his feet in the Premier League with Chelsea (where he earned rave reviews).
Yes, he gets a lot of flack for his perceived selfishness, but I think this is a little over-played. Let’s not forget that Arjen Robben has been an integral part of a treble winning side this season. You just can’t pull off that feat when one of your best forwards is pulling in a different direction from the rest of the team. Robben is the real deal and deserves to be treated as such.
He’s also considerably more valuable that Jose Callejon. I’d argue that this is a deal worth considering, especially if Bayern are willing to add a little cash to the deal.
Suarez’s position is becoming untenable. This, I think is a great solution.
What’s your take? Would you swap Suarez for Robben?

Fantastic deal, Suarez’s behaviors will cost us next season if they don’t sell him.Let Bayern give us 50m and Robben and they take Suarez (the deal must happen)
We ave been having the best strikers in england garcia,kewell,owen,cisse even tores before him named so let the guy go if not happy there will b someone greater than him, UP KOPP.
What the f£@k are you doing reading the scum anyway!!!!!
I think we fans of Liverpool fc and even the management have to be realistic and understanding a of per the character of Suarez. Suarez is a good striker and a good person to me. I look at him as a person who is open minded and hates pretense.
His character is attributed to his back ground and we need to appreciate a human has both good and bad characters thus why we need managers. Management is simple means putting order(good) in place of chaos(bad). Without bad no need for mgt. Saying that selling suarez bse of his “bad character” is another way of saying we do not have a good manager for Liverpool fc to control and manage the players. Open up emotional bank account of suarez and weigh his character deposits and withdrawals then begin to blame him after getting the scale. Torres was sold it cost Liverpool a lot and also suarez is to be tempered with which will also affect the club next season greatly. If he is not happy, his attitude can be managed. By the way not only the role of manager to deal with people like suarez, it is the responsibility of entire mgt team of Liverpool fc. Out of these suarez can listen to one of them of getting him a professional character councilor to handle him.
If we keep suarez only for next season , his sale value will go up. if bale is valued at 85m pounds currently, then suarez has to be 90m pounds. We are good at buying players expensively even if one does not perform and sale cheaply even if one is performing.
Good day my Liverpool fc fans. Thax
No Liverpool article should ever cite that rag as a source.
Why keeping Suarez up till today when he shown no sign of remorse dragging lfc to mud. Let him go and tarnish the image of whichever club wants him as he did to Ajax and Liverpool. BR knows where and how to get talented players to carry llfc forward. Suarez will never change his dubious attitudes. Top four is ours come next season.
for the love of the team, lets accept his fate and bring in more talented prayers. Cash him out . He wil end up like Torres !
Media question; Suarez would you like to play with Ronaldo? Answer: which player in the world would not, Yes I would like to play with Ronaldo. Media response; hysterical reaction both with Liverpool haters and rumour mongers…Suarez emphatically states he wants to leave Liverpool. What a load of twaddle, keep supporting one of the greatest players that has ever donned a Red Shirt and wait until he asks to be transferred.
If Suarez finally wish to go, let his suitor bring something in the range of 60 million, BR knows how to get what he wants. YNWA from Nigeria.
Not robben just change it with higuan and ask for 10 million

Suarez must n’t be swap or sell for any club we need keep him at anfield, how can we sell a classical striker as far we want to qualify for champions legua
