Suarez: What I told Coates
Luis Suarez has lifted the lid on his conversations with Sebastian Coates prior to his fellow Uruguayan's move to Liverpool.
Upon signing in at Anfield last month, Coates revealed how our No.7's love for the Reds helped convince him to make the switch to Merseyside.
And Suarez explained to Liverpoolfc.tv: "The things I told him were about stuff about behind the scenes at the club - he already knew about everything else.
"Liverpool is one of the biggest and best clubs in Europe, and he knows that well enough himself."
He added: "He is coming to a team where he can really develop as an individual. He is still very young and has a lot to learn, but there are some highly-experienced players here who can help him a lot with that.
"He is aware of that and he is happy to learn and help the team as much as he can."
Coates became Liverpool's sixth major signing of the summer before Craig Bellamy was snapped up on transfer deadline day.
Suarez has been impressed with the Reds' dealings in the market and feels the new boys can assist in helping Kenny Dalglish's side compete for the game's top honours.

He said: "I think a lot of the players who have joined us have come with a real desire to succeed and a determination to make Liverpool the side it was before - always in Europe and always fighting for the league title."
