Is Suarez really coming?

Suarez practicing his goalie skill while the real goalkeeper (yellow kit) watched with relief, to see off Ghana out of the World Cup 2010.

The whole month is has been buzzing with Suarez. As we thought that the deal could be sealed last Monday, apparently there is still business that Ajax has in mind by increasing the asking money. Some news reported it was 20 million pounds, others 25 million pounds. Is the American willing to spend? Let's see today and tomorrow. Because Saturday, has been the deadline set by Ajax.

I want to think positive. I want to believe Suarez will be joining Liverpool by the end of this week. I want to feel the happiness of having TWO real world-class strikers in our club. Torres and Suarez. Mind you, the name even rhymes with each other. They speak Spanish and while Spain won the World Cup, Uruguay were at no. 3. Not bad at all. Of course, everybody would smile now remembering Suarez's action hero in eliminating Ghana's dream.

I found this ``10 things we should know about Suarez in the Metro Online News''. I paste it here not only for you guys to read but also myself to remember & to find the data easily within my own blog.
