What matters is that Coutinho has Barca style in him. So we will get a player who we can integrate in less than 1 month. He already is the best player at pass&move at Liverpool. He has a very good football IQ, has a final pass, has a great shooting technique, and on top of that, he seems to be a great guy.

Another BIG plus is that he's proven that he links up briliantly well with Suarez ( at Liverpool ) .

This alone is why we should have bought him as soon as the window opened ... he's zero risk .

I dont think anyone has mentioned it, but Coutinho actually has La Liga and playing in Barcelona experience, which makes him better big name signing vs others.
Not sure how many people know that fact, but he spent spring of 2012 in Espanyol on loan, being pretty successful. 5 goals, 1 assist in 16 games is not too bad for 20 year old kid back then. Think he had quite a few injuries early on in his career and he still is a bit injury prone, but he has always been a big talent and would fit Barcelona very well.

Coutinho scored 17 goals last season ... ( 14 Liverpool ) ( 3 Brazil ) and countless assists and wasted assists.

Didn't the 110+ Million rated Dembele just score SIX goals last season ??

Experience at Barcelona, playing at espanyol has nothing to do with playing at fc barcelona. And it was only short. So this la liga experience is not something that will give him an advantage to other players.

Liverpool gave the "OK" for Coutinho to join Barcelona. Second round of negotiations will start tomorrow. [Diario Sport]

Market is fucking crazy right now. 120 million for inconsistent countinho. 100 mil + 2 players apparently for dybala. 100 mil for a 20 year old PROSPECT.

His advantage over EVERY other player is that Couthinho has already proved at Liverpool that he can link up with Suarez unbelievably well !!

Lets see how consistan he would be outside of team like Liverpool.

His strengths are dribbling and shooting so consistencies issue naturally comes with that style of play. Don't expect him to control the midfield a la Xavi, BBZ's favorite type of midfielder. BBZ may want him now but BBZ will bombard this forum once countinho inevitably has an off game here and there.

Though the style of play does make him a neymar "replacement", albeit a poor man's version.

Guys we can sign Dembele and Coutinho and be grateful for that or sign no one and for sure look another year in Real Madrid back. We don't have much choice, right now this is the only way to go...
