Philippe Coutinho

[mc_lovin]

A free loan would be outrageous Expect something like 20ME+60-80ME option to buy - which sounds very reasonable to me. Otherwise I would have preferred him to stay.

 

[Givenchy]

good we got rid of him if only for a season.. is there no obligation to buy from Bayern?

now just to offload Rakitic and it'll be a good summer window

 

[serghei]

Loan for free? That would be dumb as fuck, considering fucking Ceballos was 20m. on loan for Arsenal. Coutinho who is a much better player is FREE? Fucking kidding me?

True, but Bayern is the only viable option left with the English window closed.

Nothing out about the fee yet, but can't imagine it being too high.

What other option does the club have? Letting him rot on the bench here for another season and selling him for 40m next summer?

 

[Devils]

He’s gone.

Speechless.

 

[ronniecro]

it's actually hilarious that we're sending our most expensive player ever on loan

I'd rather keep him as a rotation option than loan him for free. Bayern will ship him back to us next season and we're back at the same place.

Would be fucking hilarious if we face Bayern in the CL and our loaned player scores for them and they kick us out lol.

 

[Ernesto GOATverde Tejedor]

Let's hope this gives Rafinha more chances to play as the LCM. He's practically the only attacking mid we have left now

Disagree, Coutinho and Rakitic must be booted out the club. Valverde is too much of a moron to rotate them in sensibly.

They need to be SOLD. Not given away for free. Massive difference.

 

[cro-man]

See you next season cou bayern wont buy anyway.

Better keep him and let him rot on the bench then (though hes still decent as backup lw/am). If its a free loan we take all the risk. There needs to be some compensation.

 

[Messigician]

I don't believe he's going to Bayern. Bad business of we agree to loan him for no fee or obligation to buy

 

[impeh]

i mean that gets him off the wages, i assume. But gives us nothing towads a deal for neymar

Barca are terrible at selling players. Ibra was a loan and obligation to buy at less than 30m. Got low amounts for Fabregas and Sanchez etc etc
