Nope, sounds like he has kicked off behind the scenes then, and you've kept it quiet as you wanted it to blow over.

Do you reckon you might get Rafa back when Klopp does one? :bandit:

At least he'll be straight with the facts <whistle>
 
Isco would be a good shout actually. Real are open to selling him too aren't they?

Don't watch Real a lot as I don't particularly like them, but I don't think he's the first name on the team sheet and like you said I read somewhere they were open to getting rid. Would love us to at least try.

don't think so.

He made it into the first team on the back of bales injuries and they actually played much better and he was scoring key goals/creating key chances. I think he will stay for a while longer on the back of that thinking that he's a first team player

Thing about Isco is that he's 'one of their own'. The fans love him.....there'd be a backlash if he were sold without very good reason....like Mbappe? <whistle> If we had to sell Couthino, he's the one I'd take.

Who would you lot want to replace him?
I think we should do a swap for Rafinha, but on our terms so that we still get the bulk of the transfer fee. He's not as good as Coutinho but does play more of a central role which is what Klopp wants from Coutinho. 24 years, old versatile, good passer, gets goals and assists and can go past a man. Perfect replacement IMO.

Now the poker around Ousmane Dembélé (20) becomes serious!
As SPORT BILD learned, FC Barcelona leaders have now set off for Dortmund. Barça wants to oblige BVB -Juwel Dembélé as successor to Neymar and sends his most important men to the Ruhr area.
 
Someone mentioned Barkley above, and to be honest, although wouldn't consider him an ideal replacement for Coutinho, with Lala facing an extended absence, I think £35mill for him in the current market is a bargain .

He has shown he is more than capable of good football. He may have had an inconsistent last season, but I've actually long thought he's a bit of a diamond in the rough. I wonder what quality Klopp could get out of him.

If £120 mill from Coutinho I wouldn't mind £35 going to Barkley and most of the remainder going for someone like Isco.

Barkley wants out of the City, so that won't happen, ignoring the fact that he's a local Blue and he'd be strung up for it.

I suspect the latter half of your argument would be the main sticking point to be honest. He wouldn't be the first blue turned red though. If we were the only ones bidding he might take the bait. If we were against Chelsea I'm sure he'd take Chelsea.
