Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann feels the club will be better off in the long term without Luis Suarez, a player he believes 'can't be trusted'. Suarez was the Reds' star man last season, notching 31 Barclays Premier League goals to help them finish second in the table. The Uruguay forward was subsequently hit with a four-month ban from all football-related activities for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup - he will learn the outcome of his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Thursday - and Liverpool sold him to Barcelona for £75million.
