MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona's transfer business has been criticised by fans and pundits alike in recent years but few decisions could have been more ill thought out than allowing Uruguay striker Luis Suarez to leave for Atletico Madrid in the close season.

In addition to upsetting the club's talisman Lionel Messi by the manner in which they handled Suarez's departure, Barca weakened themselves and gave Atleti the kind of goalscorer they had been missing for the past few campaigns.

"They let him go for free, paying his contract up, and to top it all off they gave him to a side who were going to be fighting for the title against us." The Uruguayan's double against Eibar - including his second last-minute winner in the past three games - took him to the top of the Liga scoring charts with 11, having netted six in his last five appearances.

"I knew I was joining a club that is fighting for important trophies and, whether it's through goals or assists, all I want to do is help the side," Suarez said this week.
