Arsenal Transfers: 5 Reasons Why Luis Suarez Is More Hassle Than He's Worth

1. The Biting Incident

luis suarez Yes, the biting incident, the pinnacle of Suarez's unenviable sense of morality, the jewel in the crown of his misdemeanors. Back in April, the crazed Uruguayan tried to take a chunk out of Branislav Ivanovic's arm and picked up a well-deserved 10-match-ban, a suspension of which still has 6 games left to run. Biting an opponent might be just about excusable (maybe) if it was the first incident of its kind, but it wasn't. In 2010, Suarez, then captain of Ajax, sunk his fangs into Otman Bakkal's shoulder, drawing blood. Then, he received a seven-match ban. For that incident, Suarez was dubbed by the Dutch press as "The Cannibal of Ajax" - a tongue-in-cheek headline but one that has still followed the player throughout his career. It is these negative headlines that not only damage the Uruguayan's reputation and lead to articles such as these, but also do a disservice to the club he is representing. Liverpool's name has been dragged through the mud during Suarez's two-year Anfield stay. The Merseyside outfit were slammed for apparently condoning racism with their unfortunate pro-Suarez protests following the Evra debacle. And Arsenal too will suffer if Suarez creates any further controversies in red-and-white next season.
