Brendan Rodgers believes all the talk of interested parties and lack of attacking support for Luis Suarez won't see the striker leave Liverpool.

Recent reports have linked several top clubs with a January move for Suarez, although Manchester City have rubbished reports claiming that they are lining up a £40million bid for the South American.
With 11 goals in 16 appearances for the Reds this season, Suarez is arguably single-handedly holding the Merseysiders' attack together.
Yet, the Anfield outfit sit uncharacteristically in 12th place in the Premier League table after making a stuttering start to the campaign.
Rodgers, however, has poured cold water on speculation that Suarez will be offloaded to a big-spending suitor in the next transfer window.
"There will be no bidding war. He's staying here," said the Northern Irishman.
"If we lost Luis then we've got no strikers. I don't think we can afford to lose anyone.
"He's certainly not someone we want to sell or move on.
"He's been a brilliant player to work with and we want to add to our squad, not take people out of it, especially a world-class player."
Rodgers added: "We just continue to work and stay focused on what we try to achieve.
"Luis has already shown in the summer his commitment to the club, he's signed a new deal.
"I think you've seen up until this point he's in a great moment in his footballing life here at Liverpool: he is scoring goals and working well.
"I'll just continue to communicate with all the players and Luis in particular. Like I say, he's very happy here."
