It's amazing that all these other pl team fans are mocking liverpool for selling a player that they insist isn't that great

they are in denial, stats alone (I don't mean goals&assists) he's easily the best player in the prem.
and the thing about coutinho is he's peaking. he was beasting it out for liver this season (last season too at the beggining and at the end as he was injured in the middle). and he's younger than the likes of kdb & hazard ect. I believe playing alongside messi & iniesta will make him even better as a footballer and will learn too much from them. the talent is here and he's gifted.
160M is still too much, but in a market in which mark henry is bought by 97m (iirc) and morata for 80m, then it's a bargain. the same apply for neymar because he's the most marketable player on the planet + the second best player in the world behind leo.

they are pretty anti-Barca lately but ive seen a few rating Coutinho, laughable someone could think hes not worldclass. i think most PL fans who hate liverpool are loving the meltdowns but theres a slight sadness in the PL losing a magical player
I wonder how Coutinho on the left, Messi in the middle and Dembele on the right would work. Cou and Dembele can switch sides during the match as they are capable of using both feet, but it would give Valverde more tactical options. If Suarez is supposed to play every game and Cou and Dembele of course have to play every game as well, he basically has to play almost the same 4-3-3 lineup all the time.
Wow! Coutinho is just the type of player Barca needed, I can hardly imagine adding someone who would fit better. He may well improve a lot, become a truly top player, playing with the caliber of players and style of play of his new team. This is the caliber of player needed to continue the legacy of the likes of Xavi and Iniesta (and Neymar).
Adding both Coutinho and Dembele now, and I think Arnaiz, I'd say the team now needs . . . , well, the team now has the players it needs. This current squad can win multiple trophies every year, clearly can be the best team in the world.

Looks like the Brazilian version of Superbad.

Coutinho will improve our team obviously. The price is insane though but what would you expect from our board?
Only question is how will we handle his and Iniesta's minutes this season. On one hand Coutinho needs to play basically every minute in the league because he is not able to play in CL but on the other hand too much rest will disrupt Iniesta's rhythm.
Valverde needs to find an useful way to rotate all guys.

I don't think he will be kicking as much from distance with Barca, so I doubt he reaches it. It would be insane for midfielder!
