From what I've read, Troy, he said "negro" but not in a demeaning way. Apparently it means something else in Spanish or from where he's from or whatever, but being suspended for 8 matches seems pretty steep. Suarez was deemed to have provided unreliable evidence, whereas the evidence Evra gave was presented correctly and in a better manner, so maybe that played on the decision.
I was thinking maybe they'll look to sell Suarez abroad now the racism stuff has come out?
Cant see it sitting too well with Liverpools black players that he's said that stuff, and they seem to be more tolerant of it in Italy and Spain. Dont think they'd cash in on Carroll just yet, but Bellamy is in good form too so you never know.
I totally forgot about Bellamy. That adds to my point further that they don't need Bent. Once Carroll starts firing and Suarez returns from his suspension, Liverpool should be fine. As I said, Maxi Rodriquez scores nearly every time he starts, Kuyt can play behind the striker and of course Bellamy is in good form.
They definitely won't be selling Suarez, no chance. The entire team apparently wore shirts in support of Suarez, and in saying that I don't think they really have many black players in the team anyway. I can think of Johnson off the top of my head.
As an Arsenal fan, I hope those dont happen.
We need Samba, and I really like Hoilett.
I'm an Arsenal fan too and from my point of view we definitely don't need Samba. Koscielny has been brilliant this season, Vermaelen has been top class ever since he arrived, and Mertesacker has begun to show potential but still needs to get used to the pace of the Premier League. After them we have Djourou who isn't up to scratch, Squillaci who is close to being sold in this window or at the end of the season, and Miquel who's still young. There may be a hole in there, but I don't think we NEED Samba, nor would he wanna join a team who no longer has defensive issues in the middle. He'd wanna play frequently instead of warming the bench.
As for Hoilett, I really have no idea if he's any good or not, but I assume he is if I have seen his name linked away from the club for a little while now. He's only 21 and he would likely flourish under a manager renowned for bringing out the best in young talent, but I just think we need a top class signing on the wing rather then another talented youngster. Arshavin won't be around much longer as he has been very disappointing for a while now, Miyaichi & Oxlade-Chamberlain are still quite young and need to gradually build up experience, and Walcott is too inconsistent and apparently is demanding too high of a wage that the club rightfully is refusing to meet. Gervinho is our best winger, yet this is his first season in the Premier League, and the main criticism I have of him is his decision-making when he gets near the goal. We have Benayoun and Rosicky who can play there, but a permanent world class winger is required, not Hoilett.
