Rejected says Chris Bascombe. Why? Why would they want to keep him this year specifically? They wont challange for shit...take money and pick your targets for next year.

What I dont get is...Liverpool gets TON of money. More then he is worth. But they just dont want to sell because they need him...even though their transfer activity was so bad that even with him they will struggle for top 4. So why hold player who wants to move for huge money against his will when you know you are wasting his season since your team is already relatively weak? Why wait for year to sell him? Thats what I dont get..

Because or their fan base, they are a team that is ambitious and aiming to improve, they finished four last year and probably will try to get top two or 3 in the EPL and build on that. Losing Coutinho is a a hit to their project. Their coach doesn't want it, their fans doesn't want. No team in a big league with such fanbase would welcome losing their best player.

His agent was in Barca yesterday. Today in Paris.

Paris will dick slap us it seems.

His agent is one of the most prominent Brazilian agents and he could be their for many reasons.

Why would they sell him? they brought Klopp for a good reason. Respect theirs decision and move on.

No need to bid anymore. If he wants to force it, fine. If not, get another target. Cannot fault board on this one since they have been firm even in July.

Try Top two or three? They completely underdelivered this transfer window. Said they had money, and didnt strenghten the squad in any way. What you are saying would have some merit if they actually spent some money and bought quality, but they didnt, yet they are holding on to him and saying "well sell only next year".

Don't worry, we'll overpay. For Coutinho or Dembele or Dybala. Bartomeu needs to save his skin with motion of no confidence looming.

You are talking as Brca fan, but every Liverpool fan want him to stay and see potential in their season. Salah is already showing he is a massive addition to their attack and they are growing as a team. I see only Chelsea and City as clearly better team, after that it seem a wide open race

Their defence is shit though.

They dont have one decent defender and their GKs are average to poor.

I think if Lallana was fit they may be inclined to take the Coutinho money to try and improve defence/GK and take in a name like Lanzini that has been mentioned to add options.

Salah, Mane, Lallana and Firmino with a better defence and possibly midfield could be stronger than they are now.
