LIVERPOOL FC’s managing director Ian Ayre has yet again, attempted to quash any rumours surrounding Luis Suarez’s future by insisting that he is not for sale, according to Sky Sports.
Suarez has been in blistering form this season, topping the scoring charts in the Premiership with a whopping 22 goals, however these performances have not been replicated by the remainder of the team and Liverpool currently lay seventh in the table and are a massive eight points away from a spot in the top four.
This probably lack of action in the Champions League has led to renewed speculation that Suarez is set to depart Anfield and look for a fresh challenge elsewhere, although the Uruguayan only penned a new, long-term deal last summer.
However, Ayre took to Sports Illustrated and said:
“To play at the highest level in the Premier League and European football, you need players like Luis and Steven Gerrard on your team. So the last thing in our mind is selling Luis Suarez. He’s not for sale. It’s not something we’re interested in.
“I remember when Fenway Sports Group bought the team, John Henry made a comment in the media: We don’t want to just build a team to win but to keep winning. To do that you have to have a number of world-class players on your team.”

Didn’t Ayre say the same about Torres and Mascherano only weeks before they were sold ??
Wouldn’t believe a word out of ayre’s mouth
we not only need to keep hold of suarez, we also need 5-6 quality signings
And a new manager
We can have the two world class players, but nonethless we dnt have a manager. We are yet to find/fight to get one!
