7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

You have to appreciate how much Coutinho want to play for Barcelona, willing to sit out the remaining CL campaign. He's an elite player unlike Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan and arguably the second or third best player in the Premier League right now along with De Bruyne and Salah.

He's not like Neymar the snake.

i still don't understand the picture , when was it taken , what does it mean ?

Today. Apparently his brother and agent in the back.

Would be about 70m net if you consider the Neymar cash though.

That said Coutinho/Dembouz together would be an upgrade over Neymar imo.

if we have the following this weird logic, then we can say Neymar cost us 80mio, then net 150mio not 70mio.

If we got 222mio for Neymar, it doesn't justified the price of 310mio for Dembele and Coutinho, even if the market is totally doped.

Both players have not shown a fuck so far, unlike Neymar.

After getting 222m for one.

It is unusual circumstances and is best bet for future of club.

Get this done and Griez in summer can almost step back from madness of market for a bit.

Signing Griezmann and Coutinho is madness,
Where will they play

Who would you sign?

It's a lot of money and too much money obviously.

But that's what we have to do after the club wasted hundreds of millions on average or mediocre players.

If I told you guys that Barcelona have spent more money than Real Madrid since 2010 none of you would believe me since they have a better midfield and last season had great depth, but it's true.

There hasnt been hundreds of millions wasted really and the values of some of them have gone up as well.

Even likes of Paco who I think has been decent would think could get his fee back. Even Gomes.

Good question.
We already bought Dembele (and we are looking very good without him..). Enough for this price. Enough laughing at our face.
Talent scouts: their work.

What on earth are you on about?

Struggle to make head nor tale of that.

Coutinho will be fantastic if he signs as will Griezmann.

I am against paying too much for him but I hope our club won’t let him down by putting forward some not so serious offer. Liverpool can express the desire to sell all they want but there won’t be a deal unless we submit an offer.

This. He’s a superstar who is willing to throw away a season with Liverpool to join us. LOVE IT. At this point Barto has a chance to save some face and just pay whatever they are asking and get it done. What a 6 month turn around
