Well he was probably the best striker in the world when he joined us, MSN was fantastic and we won many titles so probably yes. I mean it's hard to say, personally i would have preferred Messi to stay in the middle and get a proper Xavi replacement instead and a new RW but its impossible to say how that would've worked out.
The problem i see with Suarez is that his signing will get worse with every season he stays a starter from now on since his level dropped hard and it doesn't look like that will change anytime soon.

The problem is his physical condition. Needs to lose 5-7kg asap. He's offside all the time because he's too slow and wants to push up high all the time cause of his lack of speed.
Another player who has become too complacent.

lmao he has 152 goals in 198 games for Barcelona and won 3 league titles and the CL, including winning the pichichi in his second year.
He looked absolutely awful in Uruguay's first game and the decline is obvious, but even in a year where his well rounded game took a major hit, he scored 31 goals in 51 games, scored more goals than anyone in La Liga not named Messi or Ronaldo, and was the joint league assist leader. Digging deeper, WhoScored rated him second on this team after Messi and third in the league after Messi and CR - Not that WhoScored is gospel and they tend to rate forwards who have possession of the ball higher, but it's good for comparative purposes and Suarez had better statistics than messiah Greizmann.
Going forward he should probably not play every game but on what planet is that a bad signing? Barca fans are a self parody sometimes.

for the money we paid, hes been an excellent signing. imo he never reached the levels he did in his last season for Liverpool at Barca but he was and has been the best ST in the world here. false 9 got exposed and Alexis was never good enough for Barca
we shoot ourselves in the foot constantly by offering aging players huge wage contracts. Alba and Pique will be the next ones

I'm still 100% behind Luís you can’t just turn your back on one of our players it’s 1 game so far in the WC and the season ended for Barca after they won La Liga so of course he’ll be a bit rusty.
He had a good half season once he settled in and was good the next season.
been dreadful for at least a season and a half. Ideally would have sold him.while he still had value but stuck with him stinking the place out.
He's finished.

nope was a great signing. He obviously isn't the same but that's normal at age 31. The thing that pisses me off is the contract until 2021.

yes Suarez has been a good signing he was the best striker in the world in his prime but he is starting to decline we need to replace him next year not this year because our priority should be to improving our midfield.
If he ends up here for 7 seasons (14-21) and is awful for 4 and a half of of them as Barca's striker (17-21) then he's not a great signing. Compare to what Real have got out of Benzema for 10 years.
He had a good 18 months-2 years and has been either shocking or suspended for the rest of it. It's not enough if he's in the team all that time. Ronaldo might have only had one great year with Barca but he was only here one year.

He was an awesome signing. Doesn't mean he was an awesome renewal. Renewing until 2021 was retarded.

Let's not overlook the fact that Suárez has scored a grand total of 4 UCL-goals in 20 games for the past 2 seasons and is one of the main reasons why we haven't done well in the conpetition recently.
