Let him go: Liverpool better off without Suarez says James
Clive Brunskill
Liverpool are better off letting Luis Suarez leave for Arsenal.
That's the opinion of former Reds goalkeeper David James as the Uruguayan tries to force a move to the Emirates.
The ex-England international, who spent seven years between the sticks at Anfield, thinks the 26-year-old's presence is actually getting in the way of them becoming a better side.
"On
a purely footballing side of things, as talented an individual as he
is, the problem I find is that everything seems to go through Luis
Suarez," he said.
"You have this talented player and there is no question about that but does it make the team better?
"I think there is so much hinging on Suarez that it is actually stopping Liverpool from progressing.
"I think the club, in letting him go, can actually then develop a lot
more unpredictability about them, in the sense that they will have more
options to play.
"(Daniel) Sturridge came in and was their second top goalscorer in
half a season and you have Stevie G (Gerrard) there as always bolstering
those numbers but there is so much focus on one player.
"Last season Liverpool finished seventh. I think without Suarez, they have a better chance (of finishing top-four)."

Luis Suarez: Unhappy
View gallery
Suarez made his second appearance at Anfield in three days
with the club holding an open training session for about 5,000 selected
fans on Monday.
Just like during his 30-minute cameo during Steven Gerrard's
testimonial at the weekend, Suarez was cheered at every opportunity
during the hour or so the players were out on the Anfield pitch but was reluctant to acknowledge such support.
QPR boss Harry Redknapp disgrees, he thinks Suarez should avoid a "sideways" step to Arsenal.
