I also think he could be useful.

All in all he is a financial disaster though. Club's most expensive transfer ever. 3rd highest salary. If he plays another 10 games for the club, club will have to pay millions of add-ons. Market value plummeted to 30M. Still a rather high value in the books.

I’d be very surprised if he isn’t at Barca this season. I’m sure if he’s fit Koeman will rely on him fairly frequently.

Coutinho's departure at liverpool reminds me a bit of ozil after 12/13. Lots of fans were angry that they were sold as they were seen as key players but both teams won the cl trophys after they were gone :lol:

Though, ozil was very important in real's 11/12 seson.

Barca's board had doubts about Coutinho before his signing but succumbed to the constant pressure from Messi and Suarez (Sport) Stunning

What's the source dawg?

Cannot find an article about this on Sport. Might have to call you for Messigician's twin the way you've been acting lately :coffee:

Will let you off the hook this time since I found it, but that's people from Bartomeu's board claims and not information. As usual all their mistakes are not their own fault. Just like they convinced everyone that they weren't defrauding the club and paying a company to trashtalk our players online.

I'm pretty sure Messi wasn't very happy about Griezmann arriving after his documentary drama the year earlier and wanted Neymar back instead, but Bartomeu and co. decided to do what they wanted anyway so trying to shift the blame to Messi is lame as fuck.

Doesn't even make any sense that they claim they signed Coutinho due to Messi and Suarez' pressure when we tried signing Coutinho in July 2017 after getting blueballed by Verratti and PSG after chasing him for two months lol

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...eject-90m-barcelona-bid-for-philippe-coutinho

Bartomeu and co. were wild.

Ended up paying 160m for Coutinho, 135m for Dembele and then took out a loan to pay Griezmann's 120m buyout which have to be a lump sum.

Worst of all probably being the salary they paid Dembele who wasn't World Class.

Yes.. Messi, as always, decides who comes and who goes from this team but somehow ends up with people that he has no connection with and are pretty bad footballers. Must be a very vocal, demanding and egoistic character, also pretty stupid, right? If that's your opinion of this dude then you could swallow every trash piece of journalism without a grain of salt. Please apply some filtering to what you read if that's not your opinion of him.
