Yes it's an assumption DM but a pretty safe one imo. Would you be against saying Messi would make Arsenal a better team? After all, he might lose his spine when he joins your lot
The difference there is, I've seen Messi win things, in a team that wins, with him both scoring and assisting a lot.
I've not seen Suarez do that, that's kind of the whole point. Half this forum and most if not all the Liverpool supporters rated Torres as the best striker in the world before he left. By just going on what they are doing at their current club, you could have made the assumption that there is no way Chelsea could play worse with Torres playing for them?
What about Kaka, widely rated, people laughed at City for trying to get such a good player, he went to Real as the worlds second most expensive player I believe, and has been an absolute flop.
Being great in a single team, doesn't mean you'll do brilliantly with a different group of players. We've all seen Messi play enough to know there are few better.
The number of effective looking players, who even look like they might be great, but never end up scoring a lot, never end up winning, never really gel with any team and no team ever really looks great with them........ well, lets just say there are more of them than there are of Messi's.
Individual ability, doesn't always translate into effective for the team.
The simple fact is, for all Suarez's possession, for all his shots, for all his passing and work...... I see very little end product.
Well he's managing it with Gervinho at the moment.
Tap in.
If Gervinho got the ball more, if we played down the left more and he held on to it even more, would RVP score as many? Now if we buy Suarez, and he plays down the left, and he holds the ball more and shoots a lot without scoring rather than passing/crossing to RVP...... who knows what would happen.
Thing is, I don't think Arsenal are very good, just in reality, the whole league is turd so coming closish to 4th shouldn't have ever been a problem, 4th or higher is an entirely different matter. Improving Arsenal should be easy and I can see Suarez doing it, but I can also see the possibility he won't work well with RVP, and likes to be the main man so much, and spends so much of his game complaining and peeing everyone off that despite his talent, he's just not very effective.
When you look up both who Theo and Gervinho have scored and assisted against, its NOT a good record, though Theo's 2 league goals are against decent opposition it was in the two most retarded games of our season. consolation against Utd and with Evra playing that wasn't hard , and just an epically ridiculous game against Chelsea, who were so abysmal as to be laughable.
Basically with Suarez I'm not convinced he isn't a player who does better as a big fish in a small pond, likes to have all the ball, hogs it, shoots too much and teams will rarely do great with him.
