So I have interesting news. There was a board meeting to discuss the 100m Euro offer. Most of the board agreed to no sale, but there ones that did. They fully expect (which I reckon, but this is me just guessing, the whole Tuesday thing) Barca to come back with a bid we cant refuse. They have also threatened to move one to there targets (fingers crossed). So Cou was left out of the friendly, just in case. Theres a mini kind of battle going on in as much that - Klopp and board members have said they want to keep him and he plays V Watford. Others are saying keep him out of the game in case he picks up an injury and then any deal would fall through.
So my take on it, and again this is pure guess work, if he plays against Watford he will stay regardless of the bid, if he doesnt then I think we are waiting for Barca's huge bid.

On of the things you may have read which has got legs is Lanzini of West Ham. He would be bought in as Cou's replacement.

Thanks bud ...

I noticed a massive difference in Klopp's demeaner today ... he was speaking on TalkSport after lunch today and went from being adamant for weeks that Coutinho was going nowhere - to suddenly today saying that he would make sense to keep him if they have any ambitions ....that's a big sway from how he's been recently ..

£120m is not sensible for Coutinho. Coutinho going for the second highest transfer fee in the world? Come on, he's good but he's not world class, Neymar is however.

1000% agree but this is how stupid football transfers are now and after the WC it will be even worse. we also have to account for them loosing their best player at the end of the window with no chance to sign a replacement.

Coutinho is a model pro. He won't force his way out five days before the start of the PL. Liverpool don't need the money. So this deal ain't happening. I respect that. Better to have players like this than certain individuals and their dads moaning about new deals every goddamn summer. Poor planning will cost Barca dearly.

Some more info.

Barca have issued a 'now or never' ultimatum to coutinho and his whole family want the move.

I don't think he'll force an exit, he seems like a decent humble player. since you're a Liverpool fan, is there any news on VVD after this transfer request?

Paulinho + Dembele or Draxler will have to do I guess. Nobody wants to sell their players, let alone right before the season starts. Barca are going to be held to ransom for every transfer.
