If no Rooney deal, who is Plan B and C? Eto'o, Suarez, Lewandowski?

2. Luis Suarez

How about Luis Suarez as an outside option? Before you judge me, think about the current situation. A “truce” has been called at Liverpool after they rejected the reported £40,000,001 bid from Arsenal for his services.

He stated openly that he felt that Liverpool have gone back on their word after they missed out on Champions League football last season. He stated that he felt “let down” by Liverpool over the whole Ivanovic biting incident etc. If you ask me, Suarez given the chance of Champions League football, would bite your hand off for it (no pun intended!).

Arsenal have tried and failed and as yet there has been no movement from Real Madrid even though Suarez was talking up a move there back at the beginning of pre season. So would Jose and Chelsea consider Luis Suarez as a realistic option?

Let’s be honest about Suarez here from someone outside of Liverpool and the biased view you would expect them to have of him. The bloke is a nut-case and obviously has a screw loose but, if you can get all that under control and get him to concentrate on the football, to cut out all of the other crap that comes with him, he is world class.

Could Suarez provide Mourinho with another alternative but similar to that of how Eidur played for Mourinho as the link man? No one can ever question his eye for a goal but to be the link man? I am not so sure.

Is Luis Suarez a realistic alternative to Wayne Rooney and someone we could be considering before the window closes? Would he want to come to Chelsea?
