Luis Suarez is back in business, whether any of you
futbolitinos like it or not! Over the weekend, we spoke to a few
Uruguayans about the striker's return to the Premier League and they all shared a
similar nonchalant and supportive approach for the Liverpool man.
By Amy Eustace
There came a point at the beginning of last year when you simply knew it was coming. Perhaps
it was the infamous Roy Hodgson face rub – a sure sign that man had reached his last bastion of
pure desperation – the previous December, or the penalty that Steven Gerrard sent soaring
uncharacteristically over the bar against Blackburn the same month.

The subtext was Luis Suarez watching from the stand with Patrice Evra getting booed by the
Anfield crowd and all the lovely chanting between the two sets of fans about the existence of
racism. At the end, the Reds had the greater satisfaction of beating Utd, the second Manchester
club to suffer at their hands in three days.
Dirk Kuyt's 88 minute strike put Liverpool into the fifth round of the FA Cup as they beat
bitter rivals Manchester United 2-1 at Anfield earlier today.
Daniel Agger gave the Reds the lead as United keeper David De Gea was again found wanting midway
through the first half before Park Ji Sung scored a deserved equaliser as United came out on top in
the possesion stakes, however possesion doesn't always win games and Dirk Kuyt's winner with just
two minutes of normal time on the clock proved that as the Kop went wild.
While German giants Bayern Munich are busy calming down fans who are angered that the club's
commitment to unveil a major new signing today was simply a promotion for a new app, Liverpool
managing director Ian Ayre is making sure that the Kop's transfer expectations remain low, to begin
with.
English media has heavily linked Liverpool with the likes of Real Madrid's Esteban Granero,
Groningen's David Texeira, Rangers' Nikica Jelavic, and Udinese's Mauricio Isla.
Mike Phelan has insisted Manchester United would not consider leaving Patrice Evra out of their
game against Liverpool if he is fully fit.
United's FA Cup fourth-round tie with Liverpool will be the first time they have faced their old
rivals since Evra levelled racism allegations at Luis Suarez that ended with the Uruguay forward
landing an eight-match ban.
In times of adversity, Kenny Dalglish usually resembles the tougher types that populate John le
Carré novels. The sort the Circus would happily send to Moscow, safe in the knowledge that, under
interrogation, he would not even divulge his shoe size.
It made his post-match interview on ESPN on Saturday night all the more extraordinary.
Liverpool's soon to be confirmed signing Joao Carlos Teixeira has quiet the reputation to uphold
after comming through Sporting Lisbon's talented academy which has produced stars such as
Christiano Ronaldo, Nani and Luis Figo.
He has already shown he can score infront of the kop after scoring against Liverpool in the
NextGen series game.
Liverpool have a whole host of promising young attacking players being developed at Anfield right
now, but Kop legend Ian Rush believes one particular youngster stands out from all the rest. Rushie
was recently asked who he felt would be the 'next Ian Rush' at Liverpool. The ever-modest Welshman
argued that 'you have to be looking at someone with a better pace' than he had.
Moussa Sow has come out and said he wants to play in the Premier League and he describes the
opportunity of joining Liverpool as his 'Dream Move'.
Sow was last season's top scorer in Ligue 1, scoring 25 goals. He would help fill the massive
void in Liverpool's attacking options.
He told Sky Sports: "I am at Lille now but as we all know I want to play in England one
day.
Lille forward Moussa Sow has spoken of his admiration for Liverpool, amidst rumours that the
25-year-old is thinking of leaving the French champions during the January transfer window.
Sow was the top scorer in Ligue 1 last season with 25 league goals as he helped his side win the
title but in recent weeks reports have suggested that he may look to leave and now the Senegal
international has spoken in glowing terms about Liverpool.
