7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[Raketa10]

So my understanding is if they don't get Lemar and VVD by end of day Thursday, it is a no go for Coutinho then?

I think they will sell for the right amount but I honestly doubt it will be below 90 mil...

will coutinho really improve barca midfield? Because at CM position is still RAKITIC, you need 3 great players there so that can function well, rakitic is not that type of player, and cou will take iniesta's place and he is not the weakest link in that midfield

He will improve the midfield. Will improve the LW and will improve AM if Messi plays on right.

Coutinho massively improves the team as it stands right now.

Rakitic will get what he deserves, the bench.

He can try to prove himself as a sub from there this season, and if he fails at that, then out the door next year.

Coutinho/Busi/Roberto should be the starting.

Delicious.

We currently have two holes in midfield. Coutinho fills one of them. Thiago could have filled the other but...

Coutinho helps with more than that.

His versatility will be huge.

I'm glad we didn't do the mistake to put the 220m in the bank. Not spending after getting such a huge amount of money is when the decline starts for a team.
We overpayed, but we'll enjoy watching Barca and compete for titles.

Stop being so pessimistic. You can't and you don't need to have 11 star players to win titles.

I think Coutinho already is a Barca player.
Coutinho has travelled to Brazil that means the case is finished.
Last few days Liverpool suddenly began to search players as Coutinho'succesor.

yeah, and barca fulling a condition from liverpool to not to make it official untill they sign his replacement = lemar ?...Sounds optimistic but could be a possibility

Take in to consideration we could start playing 4-2-3-1

This market is indeed insane. 160 mil eur is insane, but it keeps everybody happy.
LFC gameplay has been awesome in this first few matches. And that was without Coutinho. If they manage to buy
Lemar and Van Dijk, they will be even bigger threat in PL and CL. Kloop is doing a great job over there and i will not be surprised if
they end up winning mayor trophies this season.

 

[dakt]

why are you people talking like it's a done deal?

 

[Moe]

Balague the idiot
The second he tweeted that Coutinho isn't leaving i knew he would

 

[gr98]

4-2-3-1 will temporarily mask our midfield problems until the board actually decides to sign a controlling midfielder.
