Barca Transfers and Rumors

[JamDav1982]

Coutinho is creative player like Iniesta and i don't agree with u not provided Iniesta provider is Xavi
U can think like this Xavi is cooker. Iniesta is waiter, MSN are eater
Yes our winger/forward Messi and Neymar are creater but we don't have any player who has flair in midfield except Inıesta
Of course we need new Xavi and we need new Iniesta because of Iniesta's age and injury problem
So Coutinho is new Iniesta for me cause he has dribling, shooting, passing, and creativity but i don't know who can be the new Xavi

Haha like the analogy.

So basically you want us to remove midfielders from our midfield and replace them with a winger and a forward so that basically we are playing with 6 forwards and one true midfielder?

Brilliant way to use our money for self-destruction

It's all about opinions bud !

You're talking as though your word is final ....

Are you an ex professional player / coach / manager ?!?

If not then please cut us all a bit of slack , if we're not allowed to express an opinion the forum dies .....

 

[Zincubus]

Coutinho is not the man to provide balls to MSN, neither is Iniesta.
It has always been Xavis role and we been really weak in midfield since he left.
Messi has to drop down and do that job since we have noone that can do it.
Coutinho would be ok to replace Iniesta, so would Silva, but we would still need a deep playmaking CM.

Have you never seen Coutinho play with and feed an endless stream of through balls for Suarez ( at Liverpool) and Neymar ( Brazil ) !?'

 

[Espacio]

When i read some comments on Coutinho i am really surprised
Are we sure that we are talking about same Coutinho ??
Our only and first target must be Coutinho

 

[Richard.H]

He would be a liability to Messi, Neymar, and Iniesta. He is a ball holding AM that does a lot of dribbles. The mids we need should be distributors. He is capable of deadly through balls ala Iniesta 2011 but he wouldn't be the answer to our midfield problem.

Coutinho and Verrati. Both

 

[xXKonan]

More Coutinho from Sport.

 

[Sultan]

I think we will get Coutinho for sure.

But I sure hope the real needs of the squad are addressed.

 

[El Guaje]

Very weak mentality and easily cracks under pressure.

I blame that on Arsenal He was very good back at Real. When he plays good he is simply amazing. The big problem is his stamina. He is dead tired by 70 minutes and he would have to run a lot if he came here..

Who would you suggest? Imo Coutinho + another world beater us a must.

I have none, so i see this shit going on next year. Weve been to slow to move.
Özil is not the player either.
Could have gambled on this guy that went to Dortmund for 15m..

Verratti isnt available but would be ideal.
Verratti + Silva/Coutinho, then we would be set, and broke XD

He is the best (only?) passer available. I cant think of any better passer/distributor.

 

[Total-Football]

ozil wont work. too wide in the pitch

 

[Sepuldinho]

we need Verratti but it wont happen.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

How good is Coutinho defensively? That youtube video makes me drool, but a lot of players look good in highlight videos..

 

[Sultan]

Coutinho is a quality player, no sane person would argue with that.

The legitimate question raised by many here is; is he the type of midfielder we need ATM?

 

[Windhook]

Ozil is pretty much the definition of the word inconsistent. A player that costs 50m, it was another great deal for Real Madrid. He is no cure to our troubles in midfield and given his ongoing Twitter love for Real Madrid - forget him.

 

[Barcaman]

I think we will get Coutinho for sure.

But I sure hope the real needs of the squad are addressed.

Don't know where he'd fit in possible Valverde's 4-2-3-1.
