7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[El Barcelona]

I want Alena incorporated next season. Coutinho's ship has sailed.

Jup, Paris Saint Qatar can have him.

 

[DonAK]

Would still sign him if we can get him for a reasonable fee like Liverpool had to accept with Suarez.

Then I would promote Alenya and get rid of the trash in the midfield we have right now starting with Arda.

Both can coexist and make us stronger.

Coutinho - Busquets - Alenya

Damn. Three players who got the guts to move the ball forward and are creative too.

Sky just showed Coutinho in close-up , seconds before the Liverpool game kicked off . He starts today but he looked as though he was gonna burst into tears !!

Don't see him being the same player until he gets over missing out on the biggest chance of his career .

 

[jairzinho]

Pool in big trouble again.

 

[BarcaMessi]

FFA will not allow PSG to get Coutinho.

 

[jairzinho]

Looked sharp today. Had some amazing dribbles in midfield.

Do you have a pic or video?

 

[jairzinho]

With the way Liverpool are plunging, we'll be able to get him for cheap in the summer. Don't think they'll manage to even make top four at this rate. Should have brought in some defenders with the money we were giving them.

Who needs coutinho when we have paulinho

Horrible midfield in terms of height, muscles, stamina and defending.
Awesome for La Liga Camp Nou matches where majority of teams sit back and park buses, though.

You can have 2 technical, physically weak midfielders.
All 3 of them is a classical Barca which will lose in a CL against any physical team like Bayern, Atletico, Juve, Psg, Chelsea etc.

Imagine Coutinho-Alena-Busquets defending and fighting against Atletico or Bayern.
I don't want to imagine that, lol.

You mean like Kroos - Casemiro - Modric?

Remind me, how physical dominant are Modric and Kroos?

Aleña is anything but physical weak, in fact his physicality gets pointed out as something that puts him apart from other former La Masia midfielders.

Coutinho does very well in the physical South American qualifiers and in tough PL games against rough sides.

Casimero brings that and he has made a difference.

Dont think anyone wants three physical players but Barcas mid is too easily bullied.

The number 1 reason for that is the slowness of the midfield.

Casemiro brings that, but they've won games without him and one player cannot outweigh the physically weakness of two players if we're using BBZ logic here.

 

[JamDav1982]

The number 1 reason for that is the slowness of the midfield.

No 1 reason for what?

Casimero brings physicality and more mobility which they would lack without him and another similar player.

 

[DonAK]

Okay then.

Paulinho - Busquets - N Zonzi

Physically dominant

Let's see how many CL trophies that will bring us.

Perhaps Renato Augusto would be a good addition in place of Busquets too.
