Because Pogba rarely played when he was at ManUtd. This was your point "Quality who hasn't played a minute of football this season except for one cup sub" So Pogba was not good enough to play few mins for ManUtd? Sometimes managers make strange decisions and not playing Suso is one of them. Rodgers was under pressure from day 1 this season so its understandable if he is reluctant to use young players.

He has signed Lallana, Markovic, Balotelli for big money and he played them when available.

Exactly. From the games i have seen him play, suso seemed to be very talented. His skill level is better than any of our current players except kovacic perhaps.

Rumors that Reus is learning Spanish. What are your guesses? Madrid or Barca?

Well Barca basically never sign Germans, so my bet would be on Real

I wonder how would Madrid accommodate him in their formation. Move Ronaldo as main striker and bench Benzema for Reus on the wing? Or Bench Rodriguez? lol

I bet players like Isco will be sold if Reus goes there.

Manchester City are prepared to offer 42M euros for Mandzukic, just wow, that's just overrated price

They have no fit strikers at the moment.

Suso isn't pogba. Pogba moved age 19 to juve, suso is now 21.
Your stats on lallana etc are false too - all of them have spent a lot of time dropped this season, which shows how much BR only really cares about player performance. This also doesn excuse not even making the fucking bench from suso tbh. Will edit when I get home

Don't Barca have a transfer ban effective till 2016, which means if he were to join them that would be atleast three transfer markets away?

Pogba failed to make bench in May, moved to Juve and then started games. Forget age, managers are not always correct.

No, you are of course correct on that but Brendan Rodgers has been someone very keen to blood young players and give them time when they deserve it. What, in your mind, separates suso from bessa? Or pacheco?

I dont know anything about Bessa. If Pacheco is the one Liverpool had for years then I haven't seen much of him. But I have watched Suso play and he looks one for the future. He is a regular for Spain junior teams, his dribbling and passing is good and he stood out in poor Almeria team with some very good assists.

I just don't get this logic of he was not on bench so he is not good player. Pogba was very highly rated but Fergie knew he was leaving so he didn't give mins he deserved later. Manager don't want to waste mins on player who has no intention of staying at club.

IIRC Suso's contract is expiring and he hasn't signed one.

Is he not playing because he's leaving, or is he leaving because he's not playing? You've now said both cases...

I believe the not playing is the causation, not the effect. He's not playing because he's just not as good as expected.


You talk about Lallana, Markovic, and Balotelli - Lallana started the season injuried and has been benched a bit - not so much of late. Markovic has 422 minutes in the premiership, being absent during the time where Lallana was benched too (10th and 11th matches of the league). Balotelli has 11 games, and is starting to be dropped from the team entirely.

There's been plenty of opportunity for Suso to at least MAKE THE BENCH - Oluwaseyi Ojo has made the bench twice in that time and there are players in the youth team who have played more league cup minutes than Suso, who didnt even start the league cup.

This reminds me of our Nani argument.

Dropped like a fucking rock.

I gave possible reason and I didn't state anything as fact.

They have Coutinho, Sterling, Balotelli, Henderson, Gerrard, Lallana for midfield and strikers position.

This is pointless debate, your argument is he is not good enough because he is not even making bench, I make my argument on what I have seen of him.

Btw Nani was among the top players in CL this season, bossing Portuguese league. You must have missed all those posts about Nani in CL or Portuguese football thread. Raped Schalke and some other team in CL.

Edit: Good that you always fail to address his performance in La Liga.

Quaresma was a great player in the Portugese league, too. I dont give a fuck. He was shit at United and rightly gotten rid of.


I've seen Suso play, too, and that's my opinion. I dont think he's going to be very good. Talented? Yes. But a finished, effective product? I dont think so. Still young, though, but I dont give a shit about Milan getting him. It'll be like when Juve got Iago.
