7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[El Gato]

Didn't Klopp say he doesn't understand him moving here?

Lol Barto. Even when a move is financially sound it still doesn't pay off

What a shitload of overreacting "fans".

To be honest, he has been shite recently. His price tag and the Neymar replacement situation haven't helped. He is world class but its really not happening for a while now.

What a shitload of overreacting "fans".

Come on. Look at the facts. He was bought for what, 140m? Or 160m? Hasn't performed well this season at all. Lacks pace to be effective at LW, is not even tried at CM. Not to mention that his trademark shots have magically disappeared. Coutinho is being questioned by the fans and rightfully so. He has to improve or be sold because he is not playing on the necessary level.

 

[DonAK]

We haven't even paid 150m for him yet.

I read we've only paid 110m so far or something and how Liverpool could lose out on a lot of money if we sell him early.

 

[Nothanks]

He played well early on the season for us, i remember vaguely him rescuing some points when he was brought in as a sub, changed the tempo of the game
he dropped his level slightly as the season progressed but since back from injury he has been drastically worse.

 

[viper76]

He didn't have a good game tonight.

I start to believe that even at CM or CAM, whatever position you want, he'll flop. Guy is just a moronic player. Some used to doubt Dembélé intelligence, well Coutinho is even dumber of a player, without having Dembele's athleticism.

Coutinho holds on the ball way too long, doesn't see or intentionally snubs great passing opportunities, and is so weak on his feet. And to top it all, he's as lazy a player as you can get.

Under this board and under this coach, the only possible conclusion for him at Barça is to be a flop I fear. So we need to sell his ASAP. Anything above 100m is a benediction for Barça right now.

who is going to buy him for 100mil+ though? PSG could but won't. United cant spend that type of money on one player, City don't need him, Madrid is a no-no, Juve.. nope. Liverpool return is possible but nowhere near the 100mil figure (before someone brings up 70mil for a CB VVD - that was money from Coutinho sale). Chelsea seem tight on money also

no idea what Barto was thinking paying all that money AND in January also.. fucking bizarre

Where did you read all of this?

Fuck off with the world class narrative. He's never been world class.

 

[BarcaMessi]

Catch 22.

If he is sucking, nobody would pay what Barca paid.

If he is doing good, fans/Barca would not want him sold

Baffling how he could be so good against Levante and suck so bad the next game.

16/17 season he definitely was streets ahead of his current level.

United cant spend that type of money on one player? They bought a donkey like Lukaku for 90m euros. I'm sure they can spend plenty if they want to. Same with Chelsea.

If he can't play in cm where will he fit in the team?

That's called a purple patch. Doesn't make him world class. He was inconsistent and levels below before that season.
