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.
And it's written by "ESPN Staff.". If it was real someone would want their name on the scoop lol. It may well be happening but whoever wrote this knows Jack!
He was straight the first time, Fergie was a **** and a bully, but he was a successful **** and bully.
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? If we had to sell Couthino, he's the one I'd take.
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.
You can have Tadic for 50 million Funnily enough that's one position where we certainly have no one good enough for you
BILD 08.08.2017 - 17:28 clock [English translation] Von Sven Westerschulze und Tobias Altschäffl By Sven Westerschulze and Tobias Altschäffl 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.
He only needs to play for you.... like lovren clyne and lallana.. none of them were any good but we had to give you a helping hand
