Assuming something different happening this year if it's PL sanctioned...why would they need to sanction it if it's not going to be on the shirt in PL games?
Better than Western Union Monetary Really disappointed to see we're only going to use 4 players this season, top 4 will be close
thats the "barkleys" sleeve then. they used to have the prem sponsors logo on one sleeve and the prem logo on the other. obvioulsy so much money washing about the prem isn't bothered any more
That will never happen as Qatar will never allow this to happen. This is their prize project that puts their name on the map.
Just out of interest mito how does feigning a back injury mean he's after a move? I know players feign injury to avoid international friendlies but what logic is there in the Coutinho 'injury'?
i seems to be reminded of either F! racing suits or nascar type guys wandering around covered in logos. its stupid money for nothing yet just another.. not our sport thing creeping in.
So he didn't need to play in the friendly and potentially the start of the season (if hes still injured). That way he can't get properly injured affecting his move to Barca (not that i believe this but thats why you'd feign an injury)
The same logic that says he was left out of promotional shoots done months ago because FSG saw the Neymar move in their crystal ball. **** all.
Same thing happens in tennis with sleeve sponsors but the player will be getting that money right? In football the club benefits surely like with the main shirt sponsor with logos on the front of the shirt. They're far more distracting imo.
My view is this. 1. LFC have form for this kind of thing. Carroll is one example. we all knew there wasn't a thing wrong with him but to avoid press conference questions it was called an injury. we have CL play off coming and watford. klopp can't avoid these questions there. 2. He's our biggest star. i watched the crowds in asia go absolutely nuts for him.. absolutely crazy for a glimpse and a goal. Last weekend we got in to that stadium and saw the 125 year video on loop for a good half hour. he is all over it. legends and coutinho.. not legends and this four bunch of nobodies he's barely anywhere on the lfc merchandise right now. Just little things..... In my view the actual story is barca are leaking offers in the media but they are all add ons, not straight cash and i think LFC are only holding out for the hard cash deal here.
doesn't happen in wimbledon. they get a very small logo and the white kit there. IF the prem sold the badge area and fed them money down to the grass roots you wouldn't mind would you. sure why not.. this is just another 25mil to pour into agents pockets. please log in to view this image the future?
Hopefully, losing Coutinho will be like when we lost Torres and got Suarez, rather than when we lost Suarez and got Balotelli and Lambert.
I see the logic in that if you're a willing seller, protect the player but it's the opposite with us and Coutinho so no logic in that at all.
It doesn't pass the sniff test. just watch for the training pic shots this week. LFC have all last season had pre match training shots. watch klopps presser tomorrow.
Or if the player feigns injury because HE wants to move.. We did the same with when we had to dump Costa for 1 game when he wanted to move to china. He pretended he had a back injury. Just putting a hypothetical in there as i don't think coutinhos the type to make up an injury not to play
