7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[springfield]

Many times in the next few hours!!!

Liverpool sources keep claiming that he's not for sale and Barcelona even didn't make a new bid since the last bid from some weeks ago. With the information there is out now, i don't see it happening.

And in the end we will get Paulinho and thats it

thats what I'm thinking too

 

[Nucky]

Thats what you get for having such a wonderfull board like FCB.

A journalist working for BeIN sport is saying that the Coutinho deal is officialy done but they won't announce it until they finish things with Dembele too so they can present them at the same time.

View attachment 7315

He is not a journalist; merely a tv presenter slash commentator. And this is most likely a false account.

Coutinho is so good it is not even funny. He has flair, vision and technical abilities unparalleled by any other attacking midfielder in the world right now and his numbers are skewed due to the fact the end product was wasted by the likes of Origi, Firmino and Milner. Him pairing up with Suarez, Leo and perhaps Dembélé would double his goal/assist pr game ratio in a heartbeat.

noops, practically & physically impossible. !!!

Buying Coutinho is such a no-brainer, what's the hold up? Give 'em 150ME if that's the case, who cares? What's the board gonna do with all that money anyway? Waste it on Douglases? Vidals? Gomeses? Ardases? Pacoses? Denis Suarezes?

It's not like Barca have been prudent and saved for this money for several years in order to be able to buy a WC midfielder, no a french windmill of fcuking money handed you this on a platter.

Edu Polo from MD says that Coutinho doesn't want to force his way out but Barca and Coutinho's agent are working to convince Liverpool to let him go.

Yeah, this dead end, I hope they have plan B and I hope it doesn't involve player named Parejo

Yes throw the money out of the window. Barcelona is such a rich club they don't need it anyway. It's not like there are other high cost projects at FCB.

I'd take a good guess that these 222ME was not in the running cost budget.

Correct . Add that windfall to the cash we were going to throw at Verratti and cash from deadwood we refuse to sell ( unlike Real Madread ) and we'd have well over 300 million maybe as much as 400 million as we can also borrow against next year's transfer allowance .

Anyways we have enough to get THREE absolute top class players and yet I fear we will struggle to get even one

 

[Garrus]

This deal will happen, The only reason it's taking this long, Is that each side wants to get the best deal possible for themselves, Too much smoke for a supposedly a dead-end.

The end results is clear, Coutinho will the second most expensive player in history after neymar.

But dembele is still not WC players, he is talent, thats it, so for 150 m you are buying talent which has to deliver fast, no time for waiting because barca's stdongest rival is at their peak after winning 3 cl in 4 years, and they are not falling, veratti was a safe bet, dembele is far from it, i can understand money for coutinho, proven player and you know what to expect, dembele? Far from it, so i dont understand barca fans willing to pay so much on this kid


Edit: watching his videos, i have a feeling that some of you here are willing to give such money because of his fancy dribbling skills, he doesnt have great finish, he likes to hold the ball to much, that was something neymar did and it was hurting to watch

I don't think so, if Coutinho won't force his way out, nothing will happen. FSG won't take the money no matter what insane amount we'll offer because after Lallana's injury they will leave the team in horrible situation with new season starting on Saturday and CL qualification approaching.

Name a deadwood whom we don't want to sell.

We are not selling Arda and others either:
1. because nobody wants them
2. or teams are offering low bids due to player's age or/and high wages

Nobody will pay more than 8M for Arda, 10-12M for Rafinha etc.
The only deadwood whom we could have sold is Arda Gomes.
