Positives: As I am typing this so to speak Luis Suarez has now stated he is staying at the football club. A victory of sorts for Brendan Rogers and John W. Henry. I also Believe that fences can be mended pretty quickly between club and player and when he returns from domestic suspension in October he can be pivotal in Liverpool achieving champions league qualification. After the way the club and the fans have backed him over the various controversies over the past two seasons it is the least he can do in repaying the faith back towards them. Liverpool have bought well so far in the summer Toure is a solid defensive option Mignolet to replace Pepe Reina is also a sound boy and It will be interesting to see what Luis Alberto and Iago Aspas bring to the table especially Aspas who has an equally volatile playing habits as Suarez. The return of Lucas from Injury will also be a boost as well.
Negatives: Was going to say the Luis Suarez transfer saga but seems to be over now and Liverpool can concentrate on the start of the season. Toure as I have said above is a good signing but I still think they might be short defensively in the grander scheme of things. Luis Alberto is very young and Liverpool nearly payed 7 million pounds for him and I am sure he will get game time early on as I think Liverpool could struggle top score goals early on in the season until they wait for Suarez to come back.
Prediction: 6th
