Philippe Coutinho

[FinBarcelonafan]

I?d take him at Villa. Especially now we?ve got Steven Gerrard in the hot seat. I reckon he?d get a tune out of him.

Coutinho is probably too delusional to even join Villa. He probably sees himself as a top player.

Tons of movement at Arsenal. Might work out for him.

I hope Barca's insistence on obligatory buy clause won't ruin the deal. I'm ok as long as they take him on loan for 6 months and pay his full wages so we can register Ferran. That should be a priority for January, if he'll return in summer we'll deal with that then.

But hopefully he'll do well enough that more clubs will show interest if Arsenal won't buy him. If Newcastle stays up maybe they could be one of the clubs targeting him.

I would look for 1.5 year loan options first tbh.
Coutinho himself will want to be settled in new club before the world cup itself, and we will have Umtiti situation again and Pjanic to deal with next summer.
Need to decrease the load of dead weight a bit especially since next season will start early iirc

Want him out of the club more then Umtiti

Sure, if we can find a team to take him on loan until his contract expires then great. But priority is still offloading him for next 6 months.

Haha soon as I say that, there are rumours around these parts that we want to take him on loan.

Rumours were already there yesterday.

Barca and Aston Villa are finishing the final details of a LOAN. Official in the coming hours or days.
This will allow for the registration of Ferran. [MENTION=19381]sara[/MENTION]escriu

Bunedia not been great and maybe could play a bit wider if Coutinho at 10 or vice versa.

Interesting to see him if goes to Villa and plays well if changes market for him.

Yesterday they were talking about us getting Lucas Digne too. Taking all the Barca cast-offs, I’d be interested to see what Coutinho can do under Gerrard.

Buendia has improved in recent weeks to be fair and had a cracking assist the other night.

Yeah his turn was class for the Ings goal but not been great overall or in last match.

Dont think Gerrard is dismissing him just wants more options and both could play wider.

Thought Newcastle were after Digne with Trippier already on the way.

I think Newcastle are favourites but we are in the market for full-backs as both of ours have been shite.

Trippier is going to be officially announced today I think. 12mil which is pretty decent business for Newcastle

 

[Messigician]

Swap with Emilano Martinez is best for both parties

 

[wisconsincule]

So the current rumor is just 6th month loan??

Ideally he leaves for good…
