7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[xxxxxx]

There's no chance they're going to sell. We should move on. He's not worth over 100m.

 

[spark]

Barto will bid 110 +50 in bonuses. Catalan press will say its a 110 deal then the real truth will emerge the next day.

 

[DonAK]

What happens if Liverpool flops against Hoffenheim?

 

[xxxxxx]

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.

Because they don't need the money and have no time to replace him.

 

[AnfieldEd]

I told you £130m POUNDS or no dice.

 

[George_Costanza]

it's over, we need to move on

 

[AnfieldEd]

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.

Matip is better than any Barca defender except for pique. Clyne is amongst top 5 right backs in league, but I agree as a unit it's shit. Which is why we want Van Dijk as he'd instantly transform the defence.

I agree though our recruitment has not been enough so far. Which makes the the sale even more unlikely unless it's an offer we cannot refuse I.e. £130m

 

[DonAK]

Umtiti is easily better than Matip.

Market is insane right now but the train already left the station and its not going return to how it was. Next year could be even worse after the World Cup so if we have to overpay now, whether for Dembele, Coutinho or Mbappe so be it.

 

[AnfieldEd]

So the full offer was 85m euros upfront and 15m euros in add ons. It was instantly rejected.

 

[Raketa10]

I am 100% sure we will buy him. If not him than Dembele or even both of them. Farto has no choice but to overpay.

 

[Devils]

Another big L for

I agree with that, but while their fans don't like their overall summer purchases (or lack of it) I think they are more optimistic than last few years and they feel they are heading forward

 

[Ken_rosseneri]

I'm tired of constantly checking in and out of the forum to see if there've update on coutinho or Dembele... Kind of fed up of it already...

In the end [MENTION=928]AnfieldEd[/MENTION] was right it seems.

So the full offer was 85m euros upfront and 15m euros in add ons. It was instantly rejected.

If true

We were all thinking at least 100M upfront + some bonus, but they didn't even offer that?
