Liverpool chairman Tom Werner is happy to have kept hold of Luis Suarez.
Werner has explained why the club took such a hard stance with Suarez during the striker's attempts to move away.
Werner said: "We said to Luis, 'You are important to the success of the club and we have to do what's in the best interest of Liverpool'.
"We said, 'You may be frustrated you are not in the Champions League this year but we need you and expect you to be professional'. As the window nears its end it would be even more difficult to replace Luis."
