Coutinho contract 'agreed'
Barcelona transfer target Philippe Coutinho has reportedly agreed a five-year deal with the La Liga giants.

The Brazilian is top of Ernesto Valverde's shopping list as he looks to bolster his squad.

And a bid is expected in the coming days as Barca look to tie up a mid-season deal for the playmaker.

Spanish outlet AS have now claimed Coutinho has already given the nod to a five-year Nou Camp contract.

Barcelona need to agree a fee with Liverpool before his switch can be sorted out though.

He agreed that in the summer

Supposedly does have one.

His contract was leaked on that football leaks site.

He did have one, but it only activated when he has two years left... whenever that is..

Liverpool fans seem to think he has one that excludes Arsenal.

Oh it’s true, his contract (and many others) are released on the football leaks website, it’s very interesting, have a look.. I read it about a year back..

 

[raki]

That is true. He can play every league match. Do we know is he’s cup tied for the Copa?

Of course not.

Some optimist fans think we are gonna get Coutinho and Griezmann in the summer. eheh

Are you sure? I can't find it.

It will happen.

100% certain...

We should really hire the Liverpool scout who selected Coutinho, Salah , Mane and Firminho whilst we got Rakitic

Everyone of us knew Salah, Mane and Firmino before they sign for Liverpool.

Great Scouting is too find Dybala in Argentina, p.e. Good scouting is too get Umtiti or Ter Stegen. Already good players but fit 100% in barça system. French and German markets are very good and affordable.

Why bother scouting if we buy Turan, Gomes and Mathieu? lol

 

[raki]

It will happen.

Do you sell Suarez for that? I dont agree.

 

[JamDav1982]

Liverpool have bought a long list of shit in recent years as well.

Clubs going down the route of buying a lot of impressive players for less money are in a completely different situation to most of the top clubs.

Liverpool fans shouldn't be upset. They still have Oxlade Chamberlad.

He has actually been very good for them since getting a run.

Decent and versatile player.

Problem is that Dybala played 6449 minutes at mid-level team Palermo before going to Juventus, that's almost 72 full 90-min games.
I'm not saying this is the case with Dybala, but I'm sure there are plenty of players exceeding their potential thanks to regular playing time, as well as players not reaching their potential because of too much bench time.

For a club like Barça I believe the best thing to do is to buy from second tier clubs, like Lyon and Gladbach where the player has gotten playing time.
