For failing to score in seven league games after making his £75m move to Barcelona, former Liverpool player, Luis Suarez has been described as ‘toothless’ by spanish newspaper, Marca. Well, we all know where the ‘toothless’ idea came from.
The Uruguayan who has scored twice for for the Blaugrana at the UEFA Champions League is still struggling to find the net in La Liga.
Here’s what Marca wrote.
“Having won the Golden Shoe for his exploits in front of goal last term, Suarez seems to have been unsettled by the ban that saw him start this season later than his new team-mates.
“The stats are even more surprising when compared to historical data: over the last 50 years, only three other forwards signed by Barcelona have had the same difficulty as Suarez in breaking their league duck.
“Those three are Christophe Dugarry, Luis García and Maxi Lopez, who all spent indifferent spells with the ‘Blaugranas’.
“This stat places Suarez alongside some of the worst ‘Cules’ performers in recent times, and increases the doubts and speculation about whether or not his signing was good value for money for the Catalan club.”
