Brendan Rodgers Determined To Keep Suarez

Luis Suarez will remain at Liverpool "unless something drastic happens", according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
.
Suarez's Anfield future is in doubt, with the 26-year- old striker wanting to play Champions League football.
.
"There has been lots of speculation about Luis moving to another club but, as I said, he is very much a Liverpool player," Rodgers added.
.
Arsenal have had a £30m bid rejected for the Uruguayan, who has said "two or three" sides are interested in him.
.
Liverpool have consistently stated that Suarez - who scored 23 Premier League goals last season - is not for sale.
.
The issue of the ex-Ajax player's destiny has dominated proceedings at Anfield since he admitted his interest in a potential switch to Real Madrid in May.
.
However, speaking ahead of Suarez joining up with his team-mates on their pre-season tour of Indonesia, Australia and Thailand, Rodgers insisted:
.
"No matter who the player is, nobody is bigger than Liverpool.
.
"Luis Suarez is a wonderful player and he is still very much a Liverpool player.
.
"Luis is a very important member of this squad and I am looking forward to working with him again this season after he had such a fantastic season last term."
.
Speculation has also grown about Suarez's future since he was punished with a 10-game ban at the end of the April for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic. He still has to serve six games of that suspension next season.
.
That incident followed the eight-game ban he was given in December 2011 after being found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.
.
Suarez has complained about his disenchantment with life in England, stating he was "not prepared to continue suffering at the hands of the English journalists".
