Philippe Coutinho

[CatalinR10]

Messi is finished, we sell Coutinho.

Who will play Iniesta's role or CAM?
Griezmann and Pedri (who rarely shoots).
I won't even mention Leaky Puig.

What will be our team after Messi?
If you want 433, then we have zero wingers.
We don't have a lone pivot and we have Frenkie who needs a double pivot and Pedri who lacks shooting skills to be a CAM.
Yet, for a double pivot, he is too offensive, ventures into attack and leaves giant holes in defense behind his back.
Plus, he is creating at least 5 deadly counters for an opponent per match with sloppy passes.

Should I even mention a No9?
So, we'll need to buy: no9, 2 wingers, CAM, pivot.

When you sum it all, maybe we should try Griezz and Cou without president Messi on a field.

Unless if you want to bet everything on Frenkie, Pedri, Leaky midfield trio.
In that case, why even bother replying?

what does it matter who we are going to play if we sell him since the season is finished anyways ?


Puig is much better on whatever role compared to Coutinho but cowman won't play him due to personal reasons.

Griezmann and Braithwaite up front

i'd rather we play a 4 4 2 since Messi is always in the midfield , he can form a mid with puig pedri and frenkie as a dm till the end of the season when he leaves , that is if he won't leave in january.

we can play from now on minguenza and araujo as cb pair

this is what I would go till the end of the season in La Liga since we don't have chances of winning it and we are going to be in top 4 regardless, so might want to have some fun in some games. Formation might change depending what we do in the CL.


And yeah , i'd rather see a Frenkie , Puig and Pedri midfield because what's the worst that can happen? Getting humiliated in the CL? Probably not but even if so , we've already seen that a couple of years in a row with shit midfield made of Busquets and Rakitic.


a midfield of Frenkie Puig and Pedri would make a midfield of Busi Frenkie Pjanic look like cones.

I know BBZ is trolling or just tries to be a little contrarian, but fuck me, that Coutinho stuff is weird. He should absolutely hate his guts - like Arthurs. Weak, slow, no creativity. But five times as expensive.

And hes not even an AM/plays Iniestas role.

So much this but I guess he's only human after all

He already accepted the L with Trincao. No way he's accepting another.

FC Banterlona.

That has been debunked before by journalists in Liverpool.

The 20m was per 25 games.

Would be better if it was 20m and 15m not already paid as would have more options to save the money.

Thought the debunked one was the CL bonus payment?

Both were and it was also how reported at time.

He played 88 games so far for Barcelona, another 12 will make it 100 games which will trigger one of the variables (20m).

At time of transfer it was reported that it was 5m for every 25 games up to 100.

Would be better for Barca if that was not case and 20m still to pay as they would probably try and save it.

That's true but Rac1 is probably talking about the "final installment". I read that final installment is due to be paid when certain appearance-based milestones are met which is 100 games.

The final 5m to make the 20m in total if what was reported at time is accurate.

This comes up quite often and usually Liverpool media claim it is not true and already received 15 of the 20m.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

I guess then loaning him out makes even more sense.(the rumours) Save five mil now and then sell in summer, so we don't pay Liverpool extra.
