What happened to Luis Suarez?

Barca tribute for Suarez on twitter yesterday was great.  The whole day dedicated to him . If I were a Barca fan, I would have got emotional probably. That's in contrast with the treatment by Bartomeu towards him probably. Anyway he 's signed with a great club , he can conclude worthily his career under Simeone  imo

His decline has been massively exaggerated by the Messi fanboys who constantly look for teammates to throw under the bus.

The fact that he was one of the most criticized players after a 8-2 defeat where he was the sole goalscorer for his team tells you all you need to know about that toxic fanbase.

Yeah, he was. You can easily verify this by checking reddit threads and barcaforum after the match.

He had been a great striker....have lots of fond memories....wish him good luck....I think he made a good choice by remaining at La Liga
He has declined significantly......will be curious to see how well he works at ATM

The criticism is more about him being a geriatric which is true, but that's not his fault but the board's for not bringing a replacement.

He shouldn't have been a starter at 33, without anyone to sub him with.

Just lurked at Barcaforum and they were saying that he still is better than Griezmann so... Besides this forum is no different, one game you're WC and 1 bad game your career is finished.

Hows Barto's safety nowadays? Im sure he would need a few body guards. I mean to see Suarez in tears under such shitty circumstances forced to leave, is the worst and among so many players ridiculously being forced out by this piece of f&^k of a president. I'd be surprised if he doesnt get threats from angry fans.

Messi posted another dig at Bartomeu on IG.

Alves, Eto'o, Fabregas and Neymar replied with support.

I honestly have no idea how he has the nerve to continue after this. The 2nd stage of no-confidence motion can't come soon enough.

He has declined like anyone is declining at 33 years of age but was still by far the best option.

Prime Griezmann: 11 goals in 38 starts.
Injured, past his prime Suarez: 21 goals in 28 starts.

The online Barca fanbase is genuinely retarded though, I actually don't know how the club attracts this many idiots. They've also turned on Messi by now because he said nice words to Suarez.

The newest narrative is that Messi has held Barca back from greatness for defending Valverde and Suarez publicly. So it's not really about Messi fanbois anymore (Harmonica aside).

barcaforum is full of children

Here nobody really criticised Suarez other than he is old and can't run anymore which isn't his fault, natural decline.

Barcaforum is basically if every member of the forum was a clone of NeganIsco

Probably because he and his board are liable for the debt

Can't believe it has gotten this bad. Club can't even afford to sack Setien and Koeman can't even get on the bench atm

I don't think Messi had the right to criticise his coach's decision to show Suárez the door. Don't get me wrong, Koemann will flop and a shit show is in store for Barcelona fans, but the new coach has new ideas and it is him who wanted Suárez out, not the board.

Messi is just salty at the board. How are they expecting him to give his all this season?

Goes to show you never hold a player hostage at a club. It never works.

Koeman allegedly told Suarez "If it were up to me you'd stay but the club wants you out". Maybe there's some truth to that?

I don't think Messi would criticize the coach, he only has beef with Bart/the Board

You heard it from the biggest Suarez fanboy here, end of discussion.

Ronald Koeman: "I'm not the bad guy in the Suárez situation. It was the decision of the club. I respect Suárez a lot."

What a joke of the club lol, when their own coach takes every opportunity to distance himself from the board to the point of even saying "I'm not the bad guy, they are"

Bump

Yep. He had to go as we need a new direction. Just wish it had gone down better. A legend and the greatest striker in our history and one of the all time greats. We sold him to a rival and they might win the league on the back of it.

Once he is away from Messi, I am happy.

One of the most overrated players of all time, Ramos has almost as many CL goals as him.

Not a regular scorer in CL but he did score some clutch goals at Barca in the knockout stage.
