Suarez open to PSG switch

The Uruguayan striker says he’d like to play with national team skipper Diego Lugano in the French capital.

LIVERPOOL STRIKER LUIS Suarez has revealed that he would be open to a move to Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain.

The Uruguayan has recently been linked with a switch to the club, who have significant financial backing, and admitted that he would relish the chance to play with national team captain Diego Lugano.

“Yes, I could go to Paris, like many big teams,” Suarez told French television station Canal+. ”There are many big clubs with such a reputation that want to build a top team and Paris is one of those teams that is recruiting to strengthen.

“I would love (if Lugano and I) could play together.”

Rumours of Suarez leaving had been met with short shrift by Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish, who insisted that the French club would be wasting their time in contacting them.

“Nobody has spoken to us but it wouldn’t make any difference,” he told reporters. ”It (PSG) reversed the charges, the call would not get taken. It’s the usual story.”

Suarez has endured a difficult season in England following accusations of racial abuse against Patrice Evra, followed by a lengthy investigation and subsequent eight-game ban. Meanwhile, another of Suarez’s compatriots, Napoli striker Edinson Cavani, who has been rumoured to be a target for Premier League clubs in the past, also confirmed he has spoken to Lugano about a possible move to PSG.

    I agree, Daithi, and I’m a ManU fan. All that’s been holding them together was Ferguson. It’ll take a while to pick themselves up. Hope Van Gaal is given enough time!

    Burnley started very well against Chelsea a couple of weeks ago but were well beaten eventually – could well be something similar today. Anything less will be disastrous for Utd.

    Good chance for united to pick up 3 points against the team backed for relegation…but I still worry about the back 3 (jones, Evans and blackett) I think this game is a perfect chance for jutciewicz (sorry, I can’t spell it) and ings to prove themselves against a fairly lacklustre defense

    A dreadful performance by Utd – as bad as anything that they produced last season. 2 pts from 3 games against the giants of Swansea, Sunderland and Burnley. Hard to see them finish in the Top 6, could be much lower than last season if they don’t cop on soon.

    I have a wee theory about to United’s poor start to the season so far, which I have yet to see written anywhere (I’m open to correction).
    Players who have been at United for years appear to be lacking in confidence, particularly central midfielders and defenders.
    I reckon that boasting about having so much to spend on new players was bad enough, but the worst idea was identifying areas we need to strengthen and then not having them strengthened by the start of the season!
    Everybody knows we need a proper central defensive midfielder like Keane was. Hence all the hype about Vidal. Everybody also knows the likes of Evans and Jones are prone to being rubbish so we need to strengthen there too, hence the hype about Blind, Rojo, and Shaw. Our wingers have been singled out as blunt instruments, hence the long running saga over DiMaria.
    Such speculation must have an impact on the egos of the existing players. Imagine playing in any of these positions over these past few weeks, knowing that the club are actively trying to find a better player in your position! Your confidence would be shot, especially when you’re (by association) being partly blamed for the worst season United have had in ages!! Most of us agree that there is a lot of dead wood still at United, but I’m sure they know who they are too.

    I reckon these kinds of big transfers should ideally be completed before the season starts and leave the time between gameweek 1 and Deadline Day to strengthen the squad!

    Most definitely, a period if transition should be just that!
    Vidic should have never been allowed to go before a high class centre back was found.

    2 – 0 to Burnley.

    ManU’s glory days will not recommence for some years.

    It takes a while to completely rebuild a team.

    The foundations of the last ones were home grown.

    Buying random players on the market is a lot more difficult as – who knows if they’ll gel.
