Really? The club announced it lately? When will Messi sign it? I missed it then.

It was announced in July that they have agreed to a new deal. Robert confirmed that last week and Messi's entourage also said some time ago he'll stay.


Anyway, this has nothing to do with Balague. He's a shit source. He's just guessing most of the times but always keep both options open so he can never be wrong, lol. I just don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth and he's been wrong more times than right.

OK, I believe it was last week, or might even be earlier that he said that.

He was the one who wrote Messi's semi-biography, is he really that clueless?

Maybe Liverpool trying to save face a bit about 'wont be sold' and saying FSG have listened to Klopp to sell him and move on.

It is a huge fee they will get for him and if can get VVD before Arsenal do, if can get Oxlaide Chamberlain and Sanches plus maybe a GK it could work out ok for them.

It seems that VVD isn't gonna be sold for them, and this is a huge reason they don't want to sell Coutinho. They got bullied by both RB and Southampton and they feel they can't bend down for Barca after that. If they get him I think it could open things for us

Cant see Southampton cutting off their nose to spite their face.

If Liverpool offer best fee for him or similar fee and he wants to go there think he will.

Problem for Southampton is that Liverpool by most accounts haven't even sent in an official offer. They might, or might not accept it, but if you really want him just send an enticing offer and let the player try to get his club to sell him.

When Liverpool fans bitch about Barca and Coutinho, they seem to forget that what they did and are doing with Van Dijk is worse.

He has been off a lot, that's why you will always see the classic joke when he reports something. Just look at alcacer last summer. He also tweets alot of info others said but hours later.

You're absolutely right. But I think there's a crucial difference. Van Dijk was always available for sale for the right price. Southampton got pissed because clubs tried to stop it becoming an auction.

With Coutinho the issue seems to be timing. He gave his word to Klopp that he was staying and went back on it two months later. If he'd said he was going two months earlier, I suspect he would have got his wish.

But he won't now.

i think he is delaying it. As rumored he is not really happy with the board as they lied about his contract. Few months ago they lied on the media that the deal was agreed, while it wasn't. read that somewhere
