The Liverpool captain rated the Uruguayan up their with the very best…

Luis Suarez finally completed his dream move to Barcelona yesterday with Liverpool left without a world class striker but they do have £75 million burning a hole in their pocket so it’s not all bad news.

Reds captain Steven Gerrard always seems to take it the hardest when a top player leaves Anfield, he publicly admitted he was heartbroken when Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso left the club in recent years and it looks like Suarez’s departure has hit him pretty hard as well.

Gerrard posted this message on his Instagram account as he says goodbye to the Uruguayan hit-man…

Gerrard wrote: “On an emotional day for me would just like to say what a pleasure it has been playing with an amazing talent such as Luis.

“I would like to thank him for his outstanding contribution on the pitch during his time@liverpoolfc and to wish him and his family all the best on his new adventure in Spain. #lfclegend”

If he’s like this when Suarez leaves, imagine what he’ll be like when Iago Aspas leaves…
