Even after their successful season, a section of the press are linking Liverpool striker Luis Suarez to Real Madrid for a mega deal. If that does come true, Liverpool would gain immensely from the financial point of view. But they would also have to do the impossible that is replacing Luis Suarez. Suarez has been shining star throughout the season impressing on his own and taking the team close to the Premier League glory.
The team factor which came to play after a long time when players like Henderson, Sterling and Gerrard stepped up. But before that it was all about Suarez and his partnership with Daniel Sturridge. It will be a Herculean task for the management to find an apt replacement of Suarez, but so far they have taken a look at Mario Balotelli or so it has been reported by Daily Star. While many may disagree, here we feel that Balotelli cannot be an able replacement for Suarez and we present three reasons to support our argument.
Difference in class
Balotelli is easily one of the most exciting players of world football right now. He is a bright young prospect who has taken the world football by storm. His displays for Manchester City, AC Milan and his national team Italy have elevated him at par with some of the biggest names of football. But that does not take away the fact that Luis Suarez is one of a kind. He is probably the best striker in the game at the moment and his contribution to Liverpool has been immense. There is definite difference in class and stature between Balotelli and Suarez and it will take some time for Balotelli to rise up to the levels of the Uruguayan goal machine.
