Suarez and Mascherano moved to Liverpool in the Jan window as did Vidic and Evra to Man United , Matic and Cahill to Chelsea ... there's a few more amazing players / buys that happened in the January window .

None of these were really that prestigious though plus Vidic came from Russia, where the January window is the main window because season ends in November. And furthermore not a single player there was disadvantaged by being cup tied, except for Matic, for whom it made no difference to put up with a CL abscence because Benfica went out in group stage anyway. These are all very, very far away from the proportions of this potential deal.

Masch moved from West Ham United to Liverpool.

WHU was not in CL, and he stayed there 1 year as a move orchestrated by Pini Zahavi (if you want more details, you can listen to videos about Pini Zahavi posted by a french journalist based in Spain named Molina on his twitter account) who wanted to move him (and some others) to some more popular clubs, and used WHU for that.

So you're comparing the current Liverpool, a current year CL contender even if you dislike it, to WHU from that time.

Suarez came from Ajax who is not comparable with the current situation either.

Ajax put a value of 30m on Suarez's head, and Liverpool was not just up to pay 30m, but they still manage dto get him for less, he was on the market. So far, Liverpool official stance is that Coutinho is not for sale, and Barto official stance is that they asked for 200m. However you want to argue who is telling the truth, either Liverpool doesn't want to sell, or we will NOT pay 200m anyways.

Evra case now. Monaco had no EU cup, and a bad season overall, and big Manu came in wanting to get Evra. Nothing comparable to the current situation either.

Dunno about Vidic or Cahill, but if they are the same bad example, you're setting yourself to a big disappointment in January.

Actually besides you here, I see no one believing in this move next winter.

I won't argue more about it, after all you can believe in what you want, right? Right. But if you dislike what other people post about Coutinho like those photos above, why didn't you even try to check if it was true or not yourself? It took me 30 seconds.

What's prestigious got to do with anything ..
