I like it. Even before all this World Cup bollocks it makes sense. He wants to go to there for his family, which is a pretty strong draw for him. Strikers usually peak early, so he may have 1 or 2 more peak years, or this might have been his career year. Either way, you're basically trading 2 peak years to Barca for a younger Sanchez that hasn't yet reached his peak, and a Brinks truck. If Barca tries to tap him up and lowball, then you keep him. It was essential to keep him last summer because you couldn't buy top talent not being in Europe.
I would certainly not be done with him if he stayed in Liverpool, but you know that it's going to be 2012 times...well, x. Who knows. But he wouldn't get calls, if he looked at someone crosseyed the FA would charge him, people would make idiots of themselves heckling at matches, and the media would egg it all on. One article I read claimed Liverpool needed to fight to keep him like Man U did with Cantona...but the difference is that Cantona was forgiven by the media (which is really amazing because Cantona had a helluva rap sheet going back to France; enough that Liverpool were offered the chance to buy him first and said they didn't want to deal with his bs) and Suarez never would be because he plays for Liverpool.
I don't worry about the money being reinvested wisely. We're not Spurs with the left hand not agreeing with what the right hand is doing; the club has a direction and a leader with a clear vision. Everyone that LFC is linked with, you can see similarities in their play, it's easy to see what Rodgers is valuing in addition to talent. Not every signing is going to work out, but it's clear from both his time at Swansea and Liverpool that the guy has an eye for talent and now the only limit to getting it is the budget.
I don't think any opportunity will have been missed if Suarez goes -- in fact it might be opportunity gained as it would given an opportunity to further build the talent base. I half think all of this was going to happen anyway, and Real and Barca don't seem put off in the least which if I was them I wouldn't either because they wouldn't be subject to an adversarial FA that's been poisoned against their club by an executive from their rivals -- the Spanish FA was complicit in the actions that landed Barca in hot water with youth transfers.
By the way, I won't be on this board after the World Cup is over because, really there's no reason to. The only reason I came back was to see what vad and DeacMan were saying about players I wouldn't know much about. For me, they're the real value as far people that know the talent on this board, not a guy with an EPLindex account and a bullhorn. Anyway if you want to keep this convo going, post your email. I would post mine, but well, you can see how that might be a bad move given the extent to which I've been stalked on this board even as is.
